Inside the Governor’s Office, the atmosphere was growing even more lively. Everyone’s face was glowing with joy.

Feng Deshui walked down the street in Qingzhou. He stomped his foot on the clean cement road. "Wow, this cement road is really solid! Last time I came, it wasn't finished yet. Now it’s all done."
