(GloriousGuizhou)CHINA-GUIZHOU-ANSHUN-TUNPU CULTURE-ANCIENT STONE BUILDINGS (CN)

(240811) -- ANSHUN, Aug. 11, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Tourists have tea at Jiuzhou ancient town scenic area of Anshun City, southwest China's Guizhou Province, July 24, 2024. Tunpu means "fort" in Chinese, referring to the complex of residential buildings in villages of Anshun built in the style of fortress for resisting the enemy's attacks in ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), some troops were sent to Anshun, where they built villages and cultivated land for farming. Their descendants have lived there over generations with their original living customs preserved. Thus the unique Tunpu culture has taken shape. After more than 600 years, these stone-structured Tunpu residential buildings have endured and now become popular tourist destinations for many visitors. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM/Ou Dongqu)

CHINA-HUNAN-LIUYANG-DISABLED MAN-NEW LIFE (CN)

(240518) -- CHANGSHA, May 18, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Lin Mingchang drinks tea at his print shop in Dayao Township of Liuyang City, central China's Hunan Province, May 15, 2024. Lin Mingchang, born in 1982, lost both of his hands in a car accident when he was 22 years old. Despite grappling with despair in the aftermath, he mustered up the courage to rebuild his life. Lin started his printing business with a computer and a printer. The beginning was very hard for him. He spent much more time than a normal person mastering typing and design. Gradually, his hard work paid off as his printing business got improved. As his life was getting better, Lin hoped to help more disabled people. In 2016, with support and assistance from the local government, he established a service center for the disabled, offering services such as daytime care, skill training, and rehabilitation exercises. He also founded a farming cooperative to provide employment opportunities for the disabled. (Xinhua/Chen Zeguo)
