Night schools reinforce Party

At 6 pm on a recent evening, Xiao Xinling, 62, took her notebook to attend night school with another 57 villagers in Nanyuan village of Tangyin county, in Henan province.

Her classroom was actually an 18-square-meter conference room. Students opened by singing the national anthem and reviewing the oath required to join the Communist Party of China.

"Besides me, about 20 villagers were not Party members, but we were also inspired when listening to the oath," Xiao said.
