In the heart of Edamenba Village, nestled within the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, Drolma has become a beacon of transformation. Once designated as a poverty-stricken village, Edamenba has undergone significant changes, moving towards modernization and prosperity.
The construction of new roads has connected the village to major cities, while the development of a scenic area has attracted tourists from near and far. This influx of visitors has created new economic opportunities, encouraging many young locals who had ventured to other cities to return home and invest in their community.
Among these change-makers is Drolma, who has opened a thriving grocery store offering a variety of local products such as yak jerky, dairy items, and wild edibles. Her store not only caters to the needs of residents and tourists but also reaches customers across China through extensive express delivery networks. This ability to ship goods beyond the village borders has expanded her market and contributed to the local economy.
Drolma attributes the success of her store to several key factors: improved transportation infrastructure, the burgeoning scenic area attracting visitors, and the collective efforts of villagers committed to revitalizing their hometown. These elements have played a crucial role in lifting Edamenba out of poverty and steering it towards a brighter, more modern future.
