A Pu'er farmer turned his 30-acre coffee plot into a thriving business, lifting his village’s income and becoming known as 'Hua Millionaire.' Here’s how.

In the heart of Pu'er’s coffee country, a man named Hua Honglin drives up in a white Polo—no fanfare, just another day in a village that once couldn’t give away coffee plants. Fifteen years ago, he convinced skeptical neighbors to plant coffee on land better known for maize. Today, that same land helps fund cars, insurance, and annual trips to the city. This is how a rural Chinese village became synonymous with highland coffee success.
