Return to the Village

Beijing Review | Aug 15, 2022 at 2:00 AM
  • From age 25 to 40, Mijit Yasinjan, an ethnic Uygur, worked as a second-hand car dealer in Shanghai, more than 5,000 km from his hometown.
  • What really drew Mijit, and others, back to their hometown from more economically developed cities were the broader development prospects and ever better living environment in the villages.
  • And with the increase in income, more villagers have opened their own shops, inspiring more people to participate in the local economy.
