Dong Lv Village is located in the northwestern part of Qian County. Like many other beautiful old villages in Wan Nan, it boasts a small river running through the villages, surrounded by towering hills, dense streams, and picturesque landscapes.
However, the village is more remote than most, plus with only five village clusters and a population of just over three hundred—most of whom work and do business outside—the village is mostly inhabited by the elderly, with very few children left behind.
These factors combined mean that despite the village's scenic beauty and rich forestry resources, it has never been developed.
In recent years, government investment, and particularly the assistance of young university graduates like Sun Lin returning to the village, have significantly improved the situation. But compared to many other villages in Qian County, it is still somewhat behind.
