Monba pioneer pays back her people on plateau

Duty bound

Luo's mission to work in the rural village was supposed to be finished by late last month. However, the projects they had discussed－such as the teahouse, the supermarket and a pomegranate plantation in the village－are in the process of final inspection and approval by the government.

Luo's work mission to Kibu has been extended until later this month.

"I had to work longer in the village," she said.

"I missed spending more time with my family, however, I have no complaints or regrets. The government has given me a lot, and I would not have obtained what I have today without the care and support of the government.

"I am always grateful to the government and my own people, and I hope what I have been doing will become a minor part of my paying back what I gained from the government."
