What can we learn from the changes in the village?
Government support + Hard work +Technology
= Positive Change
Changes don't happen by themselves. They are brought about by government support ,technology, people's hard work, courage, and teamwork—just like the villagers in the interview, and just like the volunteers in Minqin. As young people, we can also contribute to making our hometown a better place.
As time passes, hometown renews, but warmth stays.
时光流转,家乡焕新,温暖从未改变。
