According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, tourists have recently flocked to the milling village of Wuquan, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, where Liang Wenfeng (40), the founder of `Dipshik', was born and raised.
The village is home to about 700 residents, with up to 10,000 tourists visiting each day during the last Lunar New Year holiday.
After graduating from elementary school, Liang Wenfeng entered Wuquan First Middle School and studied at Zhejiang University, a prestigious university, in 2002.
Both of his parents were teachers at elementary schools in the village.
The village where he grew up is remote, so young people work for nearby shoe manufacturers and the elderly work in agriculture.
Tourists began flocking to the village when the dipstick was released and the gust of wind blew.
Accordingly, local governments are providing funds to renovate poor infrastructure.
The outer walls of 29 houses have been repaired and old buildings have been demolished.
Village road expansion, sewer pipe improvement, environmental purification, and tree planting were also carried out.
However, some tourists may cause inconvenience to villagers.
Currently, the grandfather, who is the only member of Liang Wenfeng's family living in the village, closes the front door all day long.
"Some visitors took soil, stones, leaves, etc. near his house," one resident said.
However, most of the villagers are grateful and proud of Liang Wenfeng for making a difference in their lives.
Encouraged by his success, the residents recently established a fund to support children who excel in their studies.
