Hou Yen-chin paints a cup at his china porcelain shop in Xiamen, Fujian province, on June 17. Once a manager at a listed company in Taiwan with a monthly salary of about 8,000 yuan ($1,165), Hou came to Xiamen in 2011 because of its slow and tranquil lifestyle, which reminded him of his hometown, and opened a store in the Zengcuoan village. He says that every plate on the wall, painted by guests, has its own unique story. [Photo by Lin Shanchuan/Xinhua]
