Guitar is the hero in many genres of Western music - and also in a small, mountainous county in southwestern China.
In 2013, Zheng Chuanjiu returned to Zheng'an county in Guizhou province to set up its first guitar factory.
Last year, the county produced and sold 6 million guitars worth about 6 billion yuan ($896 million), exporting to more than 30 countries and regions around the world, including the United States and Brazil. It also accounted for one-third of China's guitar exports.
