The rise of the peony industry has painted rural revitalization in Heze with a “floral hue“: the industrial park directly provides over 300 jobs while boosting upstream and downstream sectors like farming, logistics, and tourism—empowering farmers to “trade hoes for factory work and earn global income right at home.“ On the global stage, Heze peonies have become “diplomatic stars“: 700 peony plants were transplanted to the Bulgarian Presidential Palace, peony seed oil exports reach Europe and America, and even a “spice dialogue“ with Bulgarian roses has begun. As the industrial park's general manager put it: “We want the world to know that peonies aren’t just China's 'flower of prosperity'—they're a 'key to wellness' for all humanity!“ Magdalena Rojas Infante, a foreign correspondent at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration's Europe-Africa Communication Center, noted that the peony, China's national flower with profound symbolic significance, has inspired innovative derivative products. She emphasized that global exposure to quintessentially Chinese elements like the peony could foster international friendships and deepen understanding of China.
