The promotion association has actively acted as a bridge to help the masses in the old revolutionary base areas improve production and living conditions. Huangtupo Village in Yanggao County was the first village in the county to establish a Party organization in rural areas. After relocation, the village had always suffered from difficulties in obtaining drinking water for both people and livestock.
