During her stay in the village, Xu was rated as an advanced individual in poverty alleviation in Anhui. The couple were elected together as "Anhui Good People", and their family was rated as the "Most Beautiful Family in Anhui Province". Their daughter Zhang Qingyu has made many good friends there. The green mountains and waters have become her second classroom for her happy growth.

Be it poverty alleviation, flood control, epidemic prevention and control, and vaccination, the couple participated in and witnessed every major event in the village, and forged a deep friendship with the villagers. July 10 was the day when Xu and Zhang finished their work in the village. The local villagers came to see them off, and the couple were most reluctant to leave.
