The inspection tour along the way truly enlightened the members of the neighboring province's delegation; it was their first time here.
Reading newspapers, official documents, or even listening to leaders speak is nothing like witnessing it firsthand.
Some of them had never been here, others had visited three or five years ago, but looking at it now, it seemed they could hardly recall what it had looked like before.
No one expected that within a mere two years, such a dramatic transformation had occurred here, and all along the way, the demeanor and condition of the local commune members had greatly improved.
After all, as living, residing, and working environments got better and better, everyone's hearts brimmed with hope.
Especially the neighboring province, though their natural environment was somewhat better than Xichuan's, it was not by much, and the area bordering Xichuan also had a barren stretch of sand.
