Migrant workers bring jobs home
In Anhui province, local governments are encouraging returnees to start companies
As the birthplace of more than 2.8 million migrant workers, Fuyang city in East China's Anhui province is hoping to woo its sons home so they can help develop the local economy.
The model for this planned up-by-the-bootstraps rejuvenation might very well be Wang Zili, 46, owner of a workshop that employs 150 in Fuyang's Linquan county. Wang started the firm in 2012 in the village where he was born. While it's called an electronics company, wicker furniture is also in its product catalog.
