However, people in the village remained poor. In 2004, as the village started to develop tourism, He Jielin began to raise horses and cattle, founded home inns, and gradually, his living condition was improved. In June 2020, He Jielin renovated his old residence, turning it into the village's first museum on Naxi ethnic culture.
