From researcher to budding entrepreneur

If Bai Wen hadn't returned to his home village four years ago, he might have been an outstanding researcher at an institute in Lishui, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, studying the cultivation of wild mushrooms. However, he has never regretted his decision.

The 30-year-old grew up in Lujia village in Huzhou, Zhejiang. After studying at a technical secondary school for three years, he entered Nanjing Forestry University in Jiangsu province in 2011, majoring in landscape architecture.

After graduation, he complied with his parents' wish that he would live in a city, and became a researcher at a microbiology institute in Lishui, cultivating wild fungi.
