XI AN, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) For Tao Qijin, an apple grower in Luochuan County of northwest China s Yan an City, mature apples do not only bring a sweet taste but also the promise of a prosperous life.
A 65-inch TV set in Tao s house, and two cars parked outside, were visible parts of Tao s wealth. I owe it all to apple growing, said Tao, who also plans to buy a new apartment in the city after the Spring Festival.
By 2000, Tao had already expanded his orchard to 1.6 hectares. He has upgraded the varieties of the apple trees five times since then. In 2020, the orchard fetched him 540,000 yuan (nearly 84,000 U.S. dollars).
