This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up. Compared with 40 years ago, the state has undergone tremendous changes. Gaoping county in North China's Shanxi province has also witnessed major changes in its industry, agriculture, society and life. With the advancement of the era and the development of history, photographs record each change through comparison.
The economic rise of Gaoping is a remarkable event, and such a glorious milestone deserves to be recorded.
