A look at Xiaogang faces

A student reads a book in the reading room of the Xiaogang Primary School in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province. 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]
