Just like going to the doctor when you are sick, local enterprises in Quzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, always ask Liu Jinfu for help when they encounter environmental problems.

The 38-year-old Liu Jinfu is chief engineer at Quzhou Environmental Hospital.

Five years ago, Liu, who works in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, was invited by an old friend to participate in the establishment of Quzhou Environmental Hospital. He quickly got on a train from Beijing to Quzhou, traveling on his own and carrying only one item luggage. He set himself a goal – stay in this city for three years, or leave quickly. To his surprise, after five years, he not only found he had blended in well in Quzhou, but also had become well known in local environmental circles.

"Dr Liu, what's the difference between the new solid waste method and the original one?"

"How can we improve our company's exhaust gas treatment standard?"

Every day at work, the WeChat account of the environmental hospital receives more than a dozen inquiries.

Dr Liu and his colleagues have also launched the Dr Liu Ecological Consulting Studio, which facilitates companies to seek advice on environmental issues online.

Liu, who has profound theoretical knowledge and practical experience, often scans questions and searches for answers in his mind. He has solved more than 300 environmental problems for enterprises during the COVID-19 outbreak.
