“The ‘Yan’an style’ of that year won the support of the people. The government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region had strict regulations on service, cave dwellings, and the use of horses.

After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yan’an for his first inspection trip and emphasized that “the most arduous and arduous tasks in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way still lie in rural areas.” On the new journey, in the process of revitalization and development, the people of the old district used literature to empower and develop industries. This was their most serious mistake, because they did not issue a ban first. They did not expect that the news would spread so quickly, and their daughter would To make such a violent decision. After learning about this,.
