The natural environment here is harsh and dry all the year round. What people drink all the year round is the rain and snow water stored in the water cellar. The only water source contains magnesium and calcium, which is the bitter water that people can't drink. Many places even have no communication network. With the implementation of the Chinese government's measures to eliminate poverty, the road hardening project has been completed in all villages. The government has subsidized the construction of water cellars for villagers, and the tap water has been supplied one after another They are introduced into households and installed with water purification equipment. For villages with extremely difficult survival, collective relocation is adopted to make them move to places more suitable for survival. As a result, people return the land to nature and demolish the houses that have lived for generations. The local government issued the "closing mountains and forbidding grazing" regulations. For people who still live in the mountains, changing the original way of life requires a process of adaptation, and people also need to learn new survival skills, so as to completely change the poor living conditions.
