Urbanites in thrall to a growing passion

A rising number of city dwellers are moving to the countryside to reap the benefits of the farming lifestyle. Luan Xiang reports for Xinhua.

Wang Xin is a landscape designer by profession and a farmer in practice. His customers believe the strawberries he grows on his organic plantation in the southern outskirts of Beijing are "the best in China".

Every day, when men and women of similar age are stuck in heavy traffic and endless meetings, the 33-year-old revels in his rural life, far from the downtown crowds.
