A look at Xiaogang faces
3/8
Aunt Li enjoys a joke in the fields in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province. Xiaogang has been able to produce a solid rice harvest this year. Known as the birthplace of China's rural reforms, Xiaogang Village is where China's policy of Reform and Opening Up first started in 1978. Forty years later, people in Xiaogang, through hard work and their own rural wisdom, have carved out a much better life for themselves over the past four decades. [Photo: China Plus/Li Jin]
