Ziyang County of Ankang City in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province is well-known for tea plantation as well as for its folk songs. Yang Yuanzhong, who once worked at the Association of Disability of Ziyang County, has served as a village head at Shuangsheng Village in Ziyang since six years ago. He mingled with villagers by singing folk songs and explored ways to rid them out of poverty. With the efforts of resettlement, road construction and developing tea industry, Shuangsheng, once a poor and enclosed village, finally got out of poverty in 2017.
