From farmer to film producer – Xinhua News Agency

From Xinhua News Agency (link):

A 63-year-old Chinese industrialist is investing his wealth into making popular movies with a social message — while realizing a youthful dream.

Geng Lu began as a film producer with an 800,000 yuan (100,000 U.S. dollars) investment in a film that could also launch the acting careers of his immediate family.

Geng started as a greenhouse vegetable grower in Balizhuang Village, Yanqing County in the northern suburbs of Beijing. He also owns a factory making doors and windows, which reports annual sales of 5 million yuan (625,000 U.S. dollars).
