Villagers of the Sijia town in Haimen district, Nantong, were busy creating paintings for export at Chuyi Craft Co on Feb 24.

After the company showcased its products at this year's Heimtextil Frankfurt in Germany, these paintings attracted attention from various countries worldwide. Representatives from countries such as India, the United States, and Germany have contacted Chuyi to request representation for their products. Currently, the company is rushing to produce hand-painted samples for these representatives. 

There are hundreds of folk artists in the town, all local villagers. Their farmer paintings are sold to other cities in China and countries including Germany, India, the United States, and Singapore.
