Many people have heard the four words "economic development," but it's always difficult to truly grasp their meaning.
Lin Nianhe is no exception.
She used to think it was just an empty phrase.
Until today, when she saw the unfamiliar Lan County.
She still remembers, on May 17, 1975, the first time she came here, she saw dust and ox carts, Uncle Team Leader's old smoking pipe, and patched clothes.
Today is July 18, 1978. She has returned, and it's hard to equate the scene before her with the impoverished Lan County in her memory.
Three years, two months, and one day.
Lan County seized an opportunity and firmly grasped it, mobilizing the county's capabilities and sparing no effort to build a better hometown.
Watching the laughing elementary school students buying ice cream, Lin Nianhe suddenly recalled the summer of '76 when Uncle Wong said they should scam Old Ji for some money when they return, so the kids could taste cream ice cream.
