Qiu Liqin, a farmer from the village of Lujiacun in Anji County, Zhejiang, felt excited and sleepless when she heard she could be a representative(代表)to get the Earth Care Awards for Zhejiang's Green Rural Revival Program (绿色乡村复兴工程).
"I come from a small village in Zhejang Province. Fifteen years ago, I had to carry a bucket of dirty water far away to dump it every day. There were no rubbish bins in the village. And the river was polluted, with a terrible smell. Thanks to the Green Rural Revival Program, everything has changed.
Now in villages of Zhejang, all the rubbish gets classified(分类的), and sewage(污水)gets purified.
My hometown becomes more beautiful and we live a better life, "said Qu at the award ceremony on September27th, 2018.
