[2014-03-07 12:40]Urbanization is often a hard change for farmers because they have to leave the land, places that their families might have lived for centuries.
But the process is definitely a benefit to farmers in Dongsheng, a township in the north of Beijing's Haidian district, according to Chen Bin, deputy general manager of Beijing Dongsheng Bozhan Investment and Management Co, the company responsible for the development and operation of the area.
The township that was before a traditional agricultural area has grown into the Zhongguancun Dongsheng Science and Technology Park, a part of the renowned Zhongguancun Science Park.
