"Chapter 1675 — Roadside Chat Yun Suji made a request: first, visit a Standard Village. On the map, numerous Standard Villages were distributed in a cross pattern along the Nandu River and Chengmai Highway. He asked the County Office to recommend a relatively progressive village. The naturalized cadre flipped through cards and said Borang Village south of Pingshen Ridge was a Model Village.
