A photo album presents the real life of folks in Qiaolingqian, a sparsely populated village in the middle of Shandong province.

Surrounded by mountains, Qiaolingqian village was rarely seen in the past. In recent years, tremendous changes took place here, and people's living standards have improved. A local farmer, Liu Xinxi, brings it to life with his camera.

Liu has been living in his hometown his whole life and started taking pictures nearing his 50s. These vivid pictures evoke people's homesickness and offer a glimpse of the modern country life. They also reflect the results of the new era of rural vitalization in China, leaving us with new thoughts and expectations.
