Kalide, the Chinese name of an expat from Pakistan, in 2013 joined manufacturer Jiangsu Yuanrui Digital Technology, located in Hailing district of Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province, and he's embarked on a happy life ever since.
The company is engaged in the production and manufacturing of new printing plates. Its treatment-free printing plate technology has broken the previous domestic dependence on imports.
With the joint efforts of Kalide and colleagues, the company has continued to develop and it currently has an estimated market share of over 5 percent of the global printing plate market.
For his efforts, Kalide was promoted from sales supervisor to general manager of the company.
"Hailing people are very enthusiastic and feel like family," said Kalide.
With his increasing fondness for Hailing, Kalide bought a house in Hailing in 2021 and is planning to bring his family over for a reunion.
During his spare time, Kalide shows a great passion for photography, especially for wonderful moments of birds foraging, flying and standing. Over the past 10 years, Kalide has taken more than 1 million photos of birds.
His works have been published in newspapers and magazines such as China Daily newspaper and Chinese Photography magazine.
"Ten years ago, I flew around like a migratory bird and now I have changed from being a migratory bird to a resident bird, staying in Hailing," he added.
