Recently, I went to Dingxi, Gansu, which is a key poverty area in the country. Loess everywhere, extreme water shortage, the road is also a section, not to mention flushing toilets and wireless networks. So there was no update on the platform content for several days.
I live in the home of Quan Ping, the village chief of Hongdan Village, Qingyuan Town, Weiyuan County, Dingxi City, and his mother-in-law's name is Li Dongmei.
Li Dongmei is not an ordinary capable person. Watching her work, you will be full of confidence in poverty alleviation in poor areas, and you will understand why Gansu women are so popular when they go to the city to work as domestic servants and sisters-in-law.
