A new generation prepares to combat age-old problems

When I returned to Guhe village, Anhui province, recently, I discovered that a lot of changes had taken place to Li Zongyin, the village Party chief, and the village itself.

I tried to enter the village along a familiar road, but was unable to get through because a bridge was being repaired, so I had to find another path with the guidance of some villagers.

Last summer, I spent a month living in the village's office building. At the time, the streets had no electric lights, but by the time I returned dozens of streetlights had been installed.
