Wuchuan City is located in the Jianjiang alluvial fan plain. It is an unobtrusive small delta on the map. It is densely covered with water networks and crisscrossed by rivers. It is a typical southern water town. About 2000 years ago, the place where we live may still be a vast ocean. As the old saying goes, all rivers return to the sea.

From then on, Wuchuan From then on, a surplus labor force gradually appeared. China's reform and opening up gave people in the Pearl River Delta a head start. Its rapidly developing industries require a large amount of labor. This supply and demand relationship for labor prompted the exhausted Wuchuan people to start working in the fields and going out to work and do business.
