Luoyang Village, Yuanbao Township, Lichuan City, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, is located in a mountainous area in central China's Hubei Province. /Xinhua

Many residents of this remote village used to live below the poverty line, and most young people had to leave their hometown to seek employment elsewhere as migrant workers. /Xinhua

However, Luoyang Village is rich in a kind of bamboo whose leaves can be used to wrap zongzi, a triangular-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice traditional to the Dragon Boat Festival. /Xinhua

In the past, after picking bamboo leaves, villagers had to travel 20 kilometers on foot to markets nearby to sell the leaves. /Xinhua

Things took a turn for the better in 2018 when Xie Yong, a millennial resident, came back home for a holiday. He decided to help his fellow villagers sell bamboo leaves through e-commerce platforms. /Xinhua

With the help of the Internet, bamboo leaves can now provide each villager with an annual income of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan (988.95 to 1130.23 U.S. dollars). /Xinhua
