"True prosperity is measured by the well-being of rural communities."

From the smart greenhouse in the Loess Plateau bringing prosperity to once-impoverished land, to high-tech drones that carry oranges flying beyond the mountains and easing the burdens long borne by farmers, China's countryside offers a wealth of insight into rural development.

Across oceans and continents, the wisdom of China's villages is now reaching out to benefit the world, illuminating new paths for rural development and sharing confidence and strength with those who work the land.
