He has been selling sugar candies with his steel hammer and plate from his hometown since his daughter got married.

Li enjoys this kind of lifestyle, as it keeps him busy and makes him some money, while also alleviating his loneliness.

His business makes 10,000 yuan ($1,459) per month. His customers find that the sugar candies remind them of home. (Compiled by Dong Feng)
