Dreaming of big-city lights but staying true to your roots? Meet Aying, a young mom from Gansu whose journey from unassuming housewife to local influencer is rewriting the script for rural life in the Chinese mainland. 🌾✨
From Housewife to Local Star 🌟
Just a year ago, Aying balanced chores, childcare and family traditions in her hometown. Today, she’s leading online workshops, boosting local crafts, and inspiring neighbors with fresh ideas. Her secret? A platform born from the "Beautiful Villages" project, which equips villages with new tech, improved roads and community hubs.
Building Sustainable Communities 🌱
The "Beautiful Villages" initiative isn’t just about infrastructure. Under the guidance of Director Hao Demin, it invites locals to co-create solutions—be it boosting agritourism or launching e-commerce for handmade goods. The result? Villages that thrive on local talent, creativity and sustainable growth.
Voices from the Fields 🎙️
In an exclusive chat with CGTN, Hao Demin shares why Aying’s story is far from one-off: "Across the Chinese mainland, we’re unlocking the potential of millions by blending modern upgrades with homegrown innovation."
Why It Matters
For young people, students and entrepreneurs alike, this talent revolution shows how investing in people can spark real change. Whether you’re part of the diaspora or planning your next travel adventure, rural China’s new model is a reminder: creativity and community go hand in hand. 🚀
