After almost ten years in Beijing, Wei Wei, 35, has returned to his hometown of Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu province.

"I've gained skills and experiences in Beijing, and I can help bring Beijing's business practices to the west," said the self-confessed IT geek. "The IT market in my hometown is full of potential and very attractive to me."

Wei and his friends opened a business in 2014, but was soon in trouble as IT skills do not equate to business acumen.
