A small rural village in southern China has been converted into a prosperous tourist destination, thanks to the successful Chinese AI Company, Deepsek. The village claims to be the hometown of Liang Wenfeng, the founder of Deepsak for fame. Born in Milling village and grew up, the humble beginning of Leiang inspired the locals and attracted the visitors from a distance. The new popularity of the village has inspired local authorities to invest in renewal, giving the village a new look, as reported by newspapers in southern rural areas.
As South China morning post, The 40-year-old Mr. Venfeng comes from a family of teachers and both their parents are teachers in a local primary school in Milling village, located in Wchuan, a small town within the city level city of Zanjiang in Guangdong province.
After completing his primary education in the village, Mr. Venfeng participated in a famous institution in the region, Vachuan No.1 Middle School. His educational excellence earned him a place in 2002 at the prestigious Zhejiang University, with highly competitive Gokao University after his impressive performance in the entrance examination.
His remarkable visit attracted international attention when his company Deepsek unveiled its state -of -the -art AI product in late January, establishing American contestants. As a result, many fans of Liang’s achievements used to visit Milling village to visit their humble start.
With a population of over 700 inhabitants, the Milling Village is a tight-based community, where younger generations usually work in nearby shoes factories, while older residents are engaged in agriculture, according to Village Committee Director, according to Leiang Venfen.
Thanks to Mr. Venfeng, the village has taken a notable change. Earlier, there was a lack of industrial development in the village, the only source of its income was on the lease of fish ponds for 10,000 yuan (US $ 1,400) per year.
The village has become a popular tourist destination since then attracts groups of passengers, including families and company employees. During the Spring Festival holiday, the village met 10,000 tourists per day.
Despite the influx of visitors, the infrastructure of the village was initially ill to handle the demand. Tourists complained about poor circumstances, which motivates a reform project to start in mid -February. Although the funding source remains unknown, renewal has brought significant improvements in the village.
The outer walls of 29 houses have been renewed, chronic buildings have been demolished, roads are widened, sewage systems have been installed, and trees are planted. However, amidst enthusiasm, the grandfather of Liang Wenfeng is forced to keep his front door closed for most of the day, for fear of harassment from the constant stream of tourists visiting his four-storey family.
“Some visitors snatched a pile of clay, some stones or pieces of leaves,” a resident said.
The villagers have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Venfeng, which credited him for bringing transformative changes in his life. Inspired by their remarkable success, the residents have also installed a fund to support high-ranked students.
