At the heart of Asia's largest flower market in Dounan, Kunming, 🌸 Li Li is a beacon of resilience and hope. For three generations, her family has cultivated roses, turning their passion for these delicate blooms into a thriving family legacy.
Over the past three years, Li Li's world was turned upside down as COVID-19 cast a shadow over her beloved flower stall. With restrictions in place, the vibrant market streets grew quiet, and her online shop and live streams became her lifeline.
But in December 2022, when the COVID restrictions were lifted, the petals of opportunity began to unfurl once more. The Dounan Flower Market burst back to life, and with it, Li Li's dreams. 🌹
\"Seeing the market buzzing again feels like a fresh start,\" Li Li shares with a smile. \"It's like the roses are blooming brighter than ever!\" 🌼
Now, as she balances her stall, online shop, and live stream sessions, Li Li embodies the spirit of perseverance. Her story is a reminder that even after the harshest winters, spring will come, and hope will bloom again. 🌷
