SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): CHIEN FU-CHUAN, Lotus grower from Taiwan
"Why did I want to engage in the lotus industry on the Chinese mainland at that time? The main reason is that Taiwan's agriculture is largely affected by typhoons. So I wanted to tap into the market here. The market is very big here."
In 2006, Chien settled down in Lotus Village of Tong'an District in Xiamen City.
Covering an area of 120 mu (about 8 hectares), Chien's "lotus world" now features more than 600 species.
