In late October this year, my friends and I traveled by car to the colorful and beautiful southeast of Guizhou.
Guizhou in the northern part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau has surging mountains and ravines, but it is the first province in western my country where highways are connected to counties and asphalt roads are connected to every village. The sharp roar of the siren cut through the mystery and closure of the deep mountains and old forests, and blew into the wind along the eastern coast. The high-speed rail and high-speed oil roads have made countless natural moats open, and the flow of people and goods flows in the mountains, breaking the ignorance and obscurity of the mountain villages, and opening the eyes of the people in the mountains, with a new vision.
The wind and clouds are flying, Lin Tao is roaring, the mountains and villages are surging with the elements of the times, and they are changing the poverty and backwardness of "the land is not three feet flat, and the people are not three cents silver".

In order to avoid overcrowding, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of Zhanli set up village regulations, a couple is only allowed to have two children, and those who exceed the birth will be punished. Surprisingly, the first birth is a girl, the second birth must be a boy, and the first birth is a boy, the second birth must be a girl, which has balanced the gender of the village population for hundreds of years.
