What is Chinese modernization? In "Cun Chao," you may find the answer. The Village Super League (VSL), or "Cun Chao" in Chinese, is a rural football tournament held in Rongjiang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province. Organized and contested by local villagers, this grassroots tournament has become a hit in China thanks to its festive atmosphere and frequent spectacular goals. According to local government statistics, the average attendance of "Cun Chao" matches exceeds 10,000.

In this video, CGTN goes to the pitch side to explore the modernization and development of the countryside behind the game. Players sweating, fans cheering and villagers dancing in traditional costumes all demonstrate the positive results of China's rural revitalization and provide an insight into the happiness brought by Chinese modernization.
