This year, he and his neighbors received a "big gift" – the renovation of the family home was completed.
"The roads are repaired and there are cultural corridors. You see, this staircase is all non-slip grin! Tan Zuofa said.

Xu Guangjing, deputy director of the Renhe Street Planning and Construction Office, said.
