In the heart of southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Zheduo mountain in Kangding City witnesses a remarkable transformation. Edamenba Village, once labeled as poverty-stricken, is now a testament to Chinese modernization.
Drolma, a young Tibetan woman, chose to return to her roots amidst this wave of development. Where once there were limited roads, now well-laid highways connect the village to bustling cities, bringing in travelers eager to explore the scenic beauty of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
Inspired by these changes, Drolma opened a local grocery store. Her shelves are stocked with authentic yak jerky, rich dairy products, and foraged wild edibles, catering not only to the needs of locals and curious tourists but also reaching customers across China through expansive express delivery networks.
\"Convenient transportation, the development of our scenic area, and the collective efforts of our villagers have turned our humble village into a thriving community,\" says Drolma. Her story mirrors that of many young locals who have returned to contribute to their hometown's growth, driving poverty alleviation and embracing modernization.
Edamenba Village stands as a beacon of hope and progress, showcasing how infrastructure development and community spirit can revitalize once-struggling regions, offering fresh opportunities for future generations.
