Midu, a county in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunan Province, impresses visitors with its beautiful scenery and a diverse culture and folklore contributed by various ethnic groups of people living there, including Peng Feng, a professor at Peking University.

Three years ago, Peng and his team came to Midu to help with poverty alleviation and urban rejuvenation through culture and art. They set up a public education workstation and founded a children’s choir – inspired by a long-standing love and tradition of group singing there.
