In the museum of the Honghuasi Village, the introduction of the village "firsts" is impressive.
Among all nearby villages, Honghuasi Village was the first to have a bicycle in 1961, to use a tractor in 1971, to own a TV set in 1980 and to purchase an Audi auto in the 1990s.
In 2017, the village was demolished and renamed Honghuasi Community.
"The history of Honghuasi Village dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). For the younger generation, the museum and chronicle of the village is a reminder of what it was in the past," said Zheng Guoqing, a local official.
Before the demolition and renovation, Zheng had the village photographed from the sky and had the lives of villagers recorded.
A team of nine was established to compile a chronicle of the village, which was completed in June 2017.
The chronicle, with nearly 200,000 Chinese characters, keeps record of every detail of the village, such as its environment, population and customs. It also includes the biography of famous figure from the village.
"So far, 399 chronicles of villages have been compiled and 78 museums have been built," said Wu Xinyong, deputy director of the Zhengzhou City Construction Office.
