The Beijing office of the Yunnan Province government assigned Li Jun to work as first secretary in Buladi Village. Located in the mountains of Yunnan's Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, people jokingly told Li that the village should be called "shabby village." But with the efforts of Li and his team members, the village has built new houses and developed its amomum tsaoko industry.

These days, Buladi Village has built connections with the amomum tsaoko industry's leading companies. The villagers have also moved from their houses with wooden stakes and poles to concrete homes.
