Guyuan, the core part of the former Xihaigu region that was deemed "uninhabitable" in the past, has transformed into a totally different place. Today the city in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region has thriving industries that make people live a better quality of life, with a pleasant living environment and good governance.
Chu Yiyang is a member of the standing committee of the CPC Guyuan committee and head of the city's publicity department. In her opinion, culture is the foundation and the key to rural revitalization. Culture has invigorated people's lives.
All the 65 townships (streets) in Guyuan have built cultural venues of more than 300 square meters, and 861 administrative villages (communities) have built cultural service centers, including 74 large cultural squares and more than 800 book houses. As a delegate to the 13th congress of the CPC Ningxia Hui autonomous region committee, Chu said that five years from now, Ningxia will be a paradise for work and residential living.
