This photo taken by daughter Zhang Yuhan with reporter's camera shows her parents, Zhang Yongsheng and Zhan Jingwen, at Sifangping night market in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, May 15, 2024. Though hearing-impaired, Zhang Yongsheng and his wife Zhan Jingwen managed to make their daughter, who also suffers from the same disability, hear at the age of two.

By running a snack stall at a night market and thanks to support from their relatives and friends, the couple managed to afford a cochlear implant for her daughter's left ear and a hearing aid for the daughter's right ear. "It is too expensive to have the similar treatment for me and my wife, and we have already been accustomed to the silent world anyway. What we want is to make sure our daughter can hear."

Earlier this year, when the family's story was spread out by a blogger, they surprisingly received loads of kindness and encouragement from a lot of strangers.

Thanks to the hearing aids donated to them in January, Zhang Yongsheng heard his daughter calling "dad" for the first time on his 32nd birthday. In March, with the help from a cochlear company, the family received cochlear implant surgery in Shanghai. After nearly a month of recuperation, when their cochlear implants were turned on and debugged, the three of the family heard each other's voices for the first time.

Since May, they have been under free hearing and speaking training provided by a rehabilitation center in Changsha. The father and mother also learn to speak from the scratch under the "guidance" of their daughter. Zhang hopes he could one day help other hearing-impaired people to hear the amazing sounds of this world. (Xinhua)

He Yuqing livestreams a local event in Wuying Village on the border between south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and southwest China's Guizhou Province, Feb. 14, 2024. In 2007, Wu Xinren, a 28-year-old Miao ethnic youth, ended his ten-year working life in a city and returned, with his 22-year-old wife He Yuqing, to his hometown Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that nestles snugly in the towering mountains stretching across the border between south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou Province.

Since then, Wu and his wife have attempted to start there a business ranging from farming, transportation to running grocery and home-stay as well as selling local specialties.

Their cultural life also flourished as their business gained them a better living condition. Over the years, they have witnessed the development of the village towards rural revitalization. (Xinhua/Huang Xiaobang)

For Shu Xingyu, a professional manager of a specialized agricultural machinery cooperative in Chongzhou of Southwest China's Sichuan province, the days starting from early May to early June is a busy farming season of a year.

In addition to the work on harvesting wheat and transplanting rice, Shu is also busy coordinating the plowing, organizing drones to spread pesticide, arranging the drying of harvested wheat, and distributing rice seedlings among local farmers.

Shu Xingyu graduated in 2015 from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and a few years later he resigned his work and brought modern agricultural technology back to his hometown. At present, the specialized agricultural cooperative in which he works has realized the mechanized operation of the whole process of farming, providing services for more than 40,000 mu (about 2,667 hectares) of farmlands.

"As an agricultural worker from the young generation, we need to use modern machinery and equipment to empower traditional agriculture and shoulder the responsibility of national food security," Shu said.
