People: US woman serves as 'mayor' for a week in Guizhou

Jong May, a US woman, helped promote traditional ethnic cultures during her one-week rotating duty as a "mayor" in Wanda town, Guizhou province. The 23-year-old was the winner of a worldwide campaign to recruit on-duty "mayors" for the small town. Starting in June, each "mayor" serves a one-week term to spread local culture and support the town's development.
