We remodeled an unfinished elementary school. As a microcosm of the intense residential development that is commonly occurring in county units, this school in Xinyang Huangchuan County, Henan Province, is surrounded by high-rise residential neighborhoods on an extremely compact site. Walking into it, one feels as if one has returned to the high-rise buildings of the big city, oblivious to the vast fields that lie just a kilometer or two away.

The Nanwanggang village, under the governance of Xinyang city, has abolished its administrative establishment since the township merging and adjustment many years ago. The entire base consists of two parts - the former courtyard of the township government has fallen into disuse while its adjacent grain reserve depot has been out of service for years.

The site is situated in Xihe Village, an unincorporated village in the mountain area that is 30km from the county town of Xin County, a National Poverty County under the administration of Xinyang City, Henan Province; it is within theDabie Mountain Revolutionary Area.

Most of the people still living here are left-behind elders, children, and handicapped villagers.
