Anthems weave together a collective soul

Villagers in Inner Mongolia autonomous region compose their life stories, rural customs and spiritual needs through new songs

As the sun casts a golden hue across the plains of a township in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region weeks before Chinese New Year, the sound of villagers singing and dancing fills the air during a local cultural festival, as seen on a short video posted across social media platforms.

These are not songs passed down through generations but new anthems written by the villagers, capturing their life stories and rural customs.

The woman who posted the videos of this movement is Lyu Li, who is committed to ensuring that her fellow villagers in Mukainur township, Ordos, have a voice and can express their spiritual needs by creating village anthems.
