Ah Xiang, whose real name is Zhang Guodan, is a post-90s, born in Zhongluo Village, Sanlong Dongzhai, Liping County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou, and did foreign trade business in Guangzhou after graduating from university. In the winter of 2015, Ah Xiang gave up his job in Guangzhou and returned to his hometown to lead the whole village to get rich, gaining 1.13 million fans and 8.58 million likes on Douyin. (According to the Beijing News on January 19)

In the winter of 2015, due to the unexpected death of her father, Ah Xiang returned to the Dong village where she was born, opened her father's computer folder, and found that her father left a large number of precious Images of Dong songs. His mutilated notebook read, "I have photographed a lot of Dong songs, and there are many that I have not photographed, and I am afraid that my generation ... It's lost."

Ah Xiang's father is a barefoot doctor who loves Dong music and has a deep affection for Dong songs. Dong song is an ancient singing art of the Dong people, before the Dong people did not have their own writing, cultural customs are passed on by The Dong song. In 2006, the Great Song of the Dong nationality was listed as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, and in 2009, it was included in the list of "Representative Works of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.

Ah Xiang's father's computer password is the melody of the Dong song, which leaves a large number of precious Images of the Great Song of the Dong People that he has recorded for more than a decade. Ah Xiang was shocked and decided to stay in the countryside and inherit his father's legacy. Since November 2018, Ah Xiang has made a short video of her rural life and Dong culture, which was posted on the "Village Girl Ah Xiang" Douyin.

In order to inherit the Dong song, Ah Xiang gave up the income of more than 200,000 yuan per year in Guangzhou. Her mother did not understand, thinking that she was going to "mix her life", and tried to persuade her to go back to Guangzhou to make money. Once, he also threw Ah Xiang's things outside the house, saying that he wanted to break off the mother-daughter relationship. Villagers also thought she was "crazy and stupid".

After only accumulating more than 100 followers in the first month, Ah Xiang began to adjust his strategy. She hired her neighbor sisters as photographers, embedded herself in the Douyin video, and showed the life and beauty of the Dong people to the fullest, and the attraction was greatly increased, only a video of stepping on the stone mortar, she sold 3,000 pounds of peppers, and the peppers in the village were not enough to sell. In addition, local specialties such as rice and yellow ginger have become popular commodities.

The popularity of Douyin solved the problem of Ah Xiang's income. Through Douyin e-commerce, she not only obtained a stable income, but also led her family and even the surrounding clans to get rich together.

Ah Xiang's work is undoubtedly very meaningful, not only inheriting the spiritual wealth of Dong Ge, but also creating material wealth for his hometown. The villagers who have found a way to get rich are more active, which is really good. In December 2021, Ah Xiang was certified as a non-hereditary heir of the Dong Great Song. So far, she and her father have recorded more than 2800 Dong songs. My father's last wish finally became a reality.

Ah Xiang, who went to college and made a living in Guangzhou, can be regarded as "the hope of the whole village". Giving up the superior life in the big city and returning to the hometown to get rich with everyone is the real "hope of the whole village". This is not a secluded retreat, not a paradise coveted in the countryside, this is a way forward, and it takes courage.

There is an effort to live as parents want to be, to be a person who is beneficial to society. Ah Xiang inherited his father's legacy and also lived out his own wonderful. Such young people with ideals and ambitions are not uncommon. They take root in the countryside, take root in the grassroots, and do not seem to be an earth-shattering event, but they shine in the ordinary, warm the water and soil on the other side, bring hope and light to ordinary people, and warm the whole society. This is a more meaningful pursuit than making money yourself.
