More migrant workers want to return to their rural hometown to start business with their family as the government has promised supporting policies, including tax breaks, reduction in administration fees and subsidized business loans.
Zhang Qingfeng used to work in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province, and saw his family only during Spring Festival.
Now the situation is changed. He is no long a migrant worker who looks for job in other places. Relying on his years of experience, he now runs his own business with his elder brother in their hometown in Zhangzhuang village in Hebei province.

He Chengjun is 40 years old. Before he began working in his hometown in Xingtai city, Hebei province, the man was hired in a company in Suzhou city, Jiangsu province. Because of the high salary, the man worked in Suzhou for 11 years after graduating from college.
Since his marriage in 2006, He and his wife were living in separate places until the man returned to his hometown in 2015.
As many underdeveloped areas carry out programs to attract talents, some are moving to their hometown with their family.
