Beiji Village, situated at the northernmost tip of China, lies deep within the Greater Xing’an Mountains as well as by the headwaters of the Heilongjiang River. On September 6, 2023, President Xi Jinping visited a local homestay during his inspection tour of the village. Today, Beiji Village is thriving more than ever, truly transforming “lucid waters and lush mountains” and “ice and snow” into “invaluable assets”. Local villagers are writing one inspiring story after another about building prosperity from their unique natural resources.
“One family getting rich does not mean common prosperity; only when every household is thriving can Beiji Village achieve true prosperity,” says villager Shi Ruijuan.
