Flowers are beautiful, but they can’t last forever. Xu Li, a 22-year-old student from Nanchang Institute of Technology, found a way to create eternal blossoms and has opened an online shop selling them. Her flowers are made of materials such as beans, soap, wool and plasticene. Customers are allowed to decide the types of flower they want. Since May 2014, she has maintained revenues of over 2,000 yuan each month.XINHUA
