Zheng Wangchun, a member of the 14th National People's Congress, is the Party branch secretary and head of the village committee of Gulu Village, Yongli Yi Ethnic Township, Hanyuan County, Sichuan Province. After more than ten years of working in grassroots organizations, he led his fellow villagers in exploring a new path for the integrated development of agriculture, culture, and tourism. This initiative has breathed new life into this once isolated mountain village of the Yi ethnic group.
The village of Gulu, perched on steep cliffs at the entrance to the Dadu River Canyon, was once a typical, inaccessible mountain region. Getting in and out of the village required climbing a "heavenly ladder" woven from vines and sticks. The opening of the cable car in 2018 was a turning point in the village's development, reducing travel time from 3-4 hours to 3-5 minutes.
Over the past two years, short videos featuring extreme hikes along the cliffside trail in the village of Gulu have gone viral on social media, with the number of tourists reaching 6,000-7,000 per day.
Zheng Wangchun spearheaded the integration of village resources and the "integrated development of agriculture, culture, and tourism" model, tailored to local conditions. He led fellow villagers in establishing 23 guesthouses and agritourism facilities, and built several photo viewing platforms to enhance the tourist experience. He also promoted the development of such specialty local products as walnuts, Sichuan pepper, and mountain goats.
Since taking office as an NPC deputy, Zheng Wanchun has put forward a number of proposals, including "promoting rural network coverage," putting into practice his duties as a deputy and speaking on behalf of ordinary people.
At the 2026 NPC session, Zheng Wangchun will focus on rural revitalization. He will put forward proposals to optimize services for children and the elderly, deepen the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, improve the quality of rural infrastructure, and foster the intrinsic motivation of rural residents. He will strive to further strengthen Gulu Cliff Village's path to rural revitalization and improve the lives of ethnic Chinese.
