Village chief helps cultivate prosperity

Yin Jiping, Party chief of a village in North China's Hebei province, said he began carrying out new plans to increase the prosperity of villagers after receiving inspiration from the central government.

Yin attended the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October, after which he returned to Tayuanzhuang village in Zhengding county, Shijiazhuang, and held a dozen conferences with party members and villagers to pass on what he learned from the gathering.

"The part of the report I remember most is that we need to put in place sound systems, mechanisms and policies to build rural areas with thriving businesses, pleasant living environments, social etiquette and civility, along with effective governance and prosperity," he said.
