Nothing stops Hu, 62, from serving his village

Amid the scorching summer, a music concert brought together residents of a small village nestled in the mountainous Mentougou district of western Beijing.

As visitors and locals gathered for the open-air concert in Shuiyuzui village, many paused to reflect on the man behind the village's remarkable transformation: Hu Fengcai, a senior Party member and the village's Party secretary.

Hu, 62, played a pivotal role in restoring the village's allure after it had been ravaged by a devastating flood in July 2023, which damaged homes and infrastructure.
