Every shot is a testament of art enriching people’s inner world and this is how arts play the role in promoting rural revitalization.

“In this trip, I found that not only in major cities has development been advanced by joint efforts of governments,enterprises and residents, but this is also true in building rural areas into beautiful attractions. I want to introduce to my own country this type of development model of making the rural area an art field and making art accessible in rural places.”
