“Hey, every village, play drums and gongs, and a wa sings a new song.”

In the 1960s, a song “a Wa people sing a new song” spread across the river, bringing the wa mountain and Wa village in the border of Yunnan into people’s vision.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the local government has accelerated the pace of poverty alleviation, significantly improved the production and living conditions of the poor people, and guaranteed housing safety, drinking water safety, medical treatment and hospitalization, and children’s schooling. By the end of 2019, 67 poor villages and more than 40000 poor people in Cangyuan County will be lifted out of poverty.
