Like many other villages in Kangxian county, Zhongjie sits deep in the mountains and used to be cut off from the outside world due to a lack of roads, while public facilities were almost nonexistent. Most villagers lived in mud houses until 2008, and it was not until 2011 that the first cement road in the village was built, He said.
Li used hard work and his previous experience to aid rural development in the village. He encouraged villagers to plant walnuts and pitayas, a cactus species native to the Americas, and to participate in the village's photovoltaic power project to increase incomes.
