Lyu Yida, an official with the China Rescue and Salvage Center of the Ministry of Transport and first Party secretary in Rela village, Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province between September 2017 and September 2019

The Han and Tibetans have differences in living habits and customs, but the people of the two ethnic groups share the same prospects for a better life. I visited local villagers quite often, helping them with farm work, family chores and promoting agricultural products. When you treat them wholeheartedly, they will cooperate with your work with all their hearts. During my two-year stay in Rela, the villagers gained access to asphalt roads and bus service, which facilitated the development of e-commerce and agricultural industries. In 2018, young people returned to the village and set up a local specialty company, which achieved sales revenue of 2.6 million yuan and employed 30 residents last year.
