Welcome to the Yoga Village

In Yugouliang, a national poverty-stricken village in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, young people here have gone out to work to make a living. There are only about 100 left-behind elderly people and women in the village, most of whom are suffering from diseases. The film tells the story of Lu Wenzheng, a school teacher who responded to the country’s call and served as the secretary of Yugouliang Village. He led the sick elderly and women in the village to practice yoga, improved the physical fitness of the villagers, and called on every household to start planting quinoa. Although many ridiculous stories happened in the process, Yugouliang Village finally took off its poverty hat and became famous as “China’s No. 1 Yoga Village.”
