Zhang Helin, a famous farmer-turned entrepreneur in east China's Anhui Province, has invited a group of renowned professors and entrepreneurs, as well as some government officials, to provide lectures to the 28 officials, who come from eight prefectures and cities in Tibet. The month-long training course involves the socialist market economy, the art of leadership, scientific advancement and sustainable development, as well as taxation, government policies, and laws and regulations. Zhang, a deputy to the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, set up a township entrepreneur school in 1985 to help local township entrepreneurs.
