LuoLimi, a very elegant name, but it is the Yi language "tiger infested place" meaning, the old society, here only tigers and bandits haunted, and later slowly became known to outsiders. Today, it has become a dream garden for urbanites.
Coinciding with the year of the tiger this year, through the "Walking World" column, I would like to introduce you to the strange style of this "tiger coming to the land"!

Traditional ethnic culture helps a new chapter in rural revitalization
Shi Ya, secretary of the general branch of the party branch and director of the villagers' committee of Luolimi Village, Fuheng Township, Yangpi County: In July 2020, I learned that Yangpi County is carrying out the "Rural Excellent Talents Introduction Program", which ignited my dream of returning to my hometown and building my hometown. One person is not rich, so I gave up the florist with a good business and returned to my hometown of Luolimi Village. At the beginning of 2021, I was successfully elected as the secretary of the general branch of the village party and the director of the villagers' committee, and in the work of going to the village and entering the household, I discovered the excellent traditional ethnic culture of Luolimi Village, hoping that through our strength, they would go out of the mountains of Luolimi Village and continue to inherit and carry forward our Laowei culture well.
We believe that Luolimi Village will get better and better on the road of rural revitalization, and a beautiful picture of a new rural area of "thriving industry, ecological livability, civilized rural style, effective governance, and affluent life" is blooming in Luolimi Village.
