The home textile is one of the traditional industries in Shenze County of Shijiazhuang City, North China's Hebei Province. At present, the county has more than 800 home-textile processing enterprises, providing more than 100,000 jobs for local people.

On the premise of implementing regular epidemic prevention and control measures, the county coordinated with home textile enterprises to hold display and sale activities online and promote the products via livestreaming platforms, in a bid to find a market for the industry and revitalize its industrial chain.

With the development of the home textile industry, it has provided more opportunities for local rural women to get jobs nearby or at their homes.
