There are many old phoenix trees in Gou Wu.

 So what is it about this 15.6 inch portable display that's striking a chord with people? After all, there are plenty of other portable monitors on the market... but few have the range of features Taihe managed to pack into the Gemini. 

 Like other options, it's a screen that you can plug into a laptop, tablet, or other device if you want to use two displays at once. But it has more ports than most alternatives, features a built-in battery so you can use it with or without a power adapter, comes with a choice of a 4K display or a 1080p touchscreen display, and the Taihe Gemini has a fairly compact design.

The relatively inexpensive promotional pricing also probably didn't hurt: Early backers of the Kickstarter campaign could reserve a 1080p Gemini for as little as $159 or a 4K model for $269... although prices have gone up since then. 

 The Kickstarter campaign ends on February 18th, 2019 and Taihe says the Gemini will begin shipping to customers in May, and the full retail prices will eventually be $299 for the 1080p model and $499 for the 4K version. 

 So is this portable display worth the asking price? The company sent me a 1080p demo unit so I could find out.

Sales of human hair in China are booming and are exported across the world. Taihe, in the eastern province of Anhui, where more than 400 human hair factories and companies are based, is where most of the tailor-made wigs are produced. According to one retailer, due to the high value of hair, people are calling it ‘black gold’.

Fu Quanguo pioneered the trade in the 1970s and says that: “We used to collect the human hair locally, but now it comes from all kinds of countries, like Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Vietnam. In the past making hair products was tough, and we did it all by hand. Now we've gone from small to big and are selling internationally.”

In the factories, the hair is first disinfected in huge barrels before workers use paddles to stir clumps of strands in steaming water. It is then dyed in colours ranging from white to black, after which it is then dried in ovens, brushed, and sewn into hair extensions.
