Brief introduction of Hancunhe Village: Hancunhe village is a medium-sized village with a population of over 2,700. In the 1950s and 60s, all the farmers from Hancunhe village relied on weather and luck. Hancunhe yeomans income was decided by how many work points he got-- and the maximum work points for a days work in the field was valued at just 0.30 yuan, or about 4 US cents. At the same time, no farmer was permitted to switch trades and perform other sorts of work for his own survival. As you might imagine, daily life for the people of this village under such circumstances was tenuous at best.
But a sea change began to take place in their lives in 1978 when the country adopted a reform and open policy. Tillers of the soil in Hancunhe village now had a real opportunity to lay aside their ploughshares for other trades and professions. Many of them seized the day, trying out new walks of life that might be able to reward them in ways unknown to their humble husbandry. Some of the villages plasterers and carpenters began to organize themselves to take work in nearby villages. By 1983, they had begun taking some of the small and medium construction projects in Beijing. With a steady expansion of their business, the Hancunhe construction company became a group in 1994. The development of the villages construction group has greatly boosted the villages economy. The standard of living for farmers these days in Hancunhe is significantly higher than it was in the past. And to the farmers delight, by the end of 1999, all of them had moved into newly built villa-like houses in both traditional Chinese and European architectural style.
In order to diversify the economy, the village authorities have also begun to develop tourism for the town. Because it is close to Beijing, the village markets itself to city dwellers by offering them a one or two day escape from the environs of the big city. Li Kai has a big house and many days of the year, only the couple live in the house. So they enjoy receiving and playing host to holiday-makers from the city. There are over 10 rooms in this house. They rent some of them to the visitors from the city. Travellers can take a rest here or live here. Li provide them with beds and food. The food has typical local flavour. You cant find it in the city. They chat to each other. Li will tell the city people about what life in their village is like, and Li also get to know what is going on in the city.
