She was working on a tourism development program to boost incomes by improving living conditions and rural tourism.
Just less than 100 km from Nanning, the region's capital, the village is located in Mashan county surrounded by looming karst mountains.
Most of the villagers had moved into their new houses with the help of the government in 2014 when a reconstruction program was launched to promote rural tourism.
"How could people make a sustainable future out of a place with little tourism resources like Sanjia," said Huang. "I began to wonder whether there is a way to inspire the villagers to be more involved to attract visitors".
South yard is a house she decided to renovate. Its cob brick structure was built more than 60 years ago.
"When there are very few old dwellings left, I began to realize the villagers may lose their past and how urgent it is to save the authentic heart of the place," said Huang.
She wanted to restore it as a public space for the villagers and a platform to exchange ideas and introduce resources, or even use it as a place of retreat and contemplation.
Mu Wei, an architect who designed the Norwegian pavilion for the Shanghai Expo, joined her and undertook the design.
The building was designed in two sections, the former main building and a new light house, which stand together in harmony by the river.
The main building, which presents the past, was renovated in its original style with a tilt roof.
The light house is characterized with large area of French casement and a wood framework which makes the space transparent and bright.
Nearby villagers offered their help in the renovation although they didn't understand her concept at first.
South yard was completed in September 2016, after a year's hard work, at a cost of 1.3 million yuan ($190,000).
The first time Huang Juan arrived at Sanjia village, her goal was to demolish decrepit buildings and homes, rather than preserve them.

Transfer the mixture to a glass jar. Label the glass jar with the date. The basic recipe yields about 2 oz. of liquid, which will solidify a bit when cool, so a 2-oz. jar should accommodate it; however, if you are adding scents, penetration enhancers or other ingredients, you'll probably need a slightly larger jar.

Conference says: Defeat Bush in 2004!
NEW YORK – Responding to the call to “Build unity to take back our country in 2004 – Defeat Bush and the Ultra-Right,” about 300 people packed the Communist Party’s Winston Unity Auditorium here Jan. 31. The overflow crowd came to hear speeches, share experiences, get energized, and map plans to oust George W. Bush and...
The diverse group of trade unionists, students, peace activists and community leaders came from about 25 states – from Alaska to Georgia, California to Maine. Speakers included CPUSA activists and guests from many trade unions, the NAACP, NOW, the Working Families Party of New York, and United for Peace and Justice, to...
The conference ended with a terrific cultural program of song, spoken word, and multimedia presentations. A full story will appear in next week’s edition.
Some discoveries are down to luck or coincidence. This would seem to be a case of the right person being in the right place at the right time.
Historian Dr Stephen Gapps had just finished writing The Sydney Wars in April last year about conflict in the early colony between the British settlers and the First Nations. Then, the following month, he believes he made an amazing discovery.
Last year the Australian National Maritime Museum, where Dr Gapps is a curator, received a generous donation of the logbook of First Fleet Lieutenant William Bradley [as in Bradleys Head] who was on board the flagship HMS Sirius. It covers the ship's departure from Portsmouth, UK, in May 1787 to the return of the ship’...
The log has been donated to the museum by UK resident Mr Anthony Gannon. It had previously passed down through several generations of his family.
Gapps considers it places on the map for the first time the location of the first confirmed murders of members of the First Fleet by ‘natives’ at a location Bradley marked as Bloody Point.
Some information on Bradley’s draft map didn’t make it into the later maps we all are more familiar with.
UTS Rowers Club it Haberfield at the location marked as Bloody Point in Bradley's log.
The First Fleet arrived in January 1788 and by April a few beatings and spearings had occurred.
In May, as the book relates, that all changed.
The bodies of two convicts, William Okey and Samuel Davis, were found ‘murdered by the natives in a shocking manner’. Surgeon John White noted: “Okey was transfixed through the breast with one of their spears, which with great difficulty was pulled out.
“His skull was divided and comminuted so much that his brains easily found a passage through.” His eyes were out but that may have been down to birds.

Davis had “trifling marks of violence” suggesting he may have hidden, then succumbed to the cold and wet.
The theory was that the convicts had a few days previously “detained a canoe belonging to the natives” and paid the consequences.
Most historians have assumed, as the two men were cutting rushes, this occurred at Rushcutters Bay. But several diaries say they were found ‘up the harbour’.

Dr Gapps said: "More recently some historians have suggested other locations such as Darling Harbour. In The Sydney Wars I suggest it may have been around White Bay. Well, I was wrong.
"I was having a close look at Bradley’s first chart of Sydney Harbour and one of the names stuck out – Bloody Point. It is marked on the piece of land jutting out at the end of Iron Cove, where the UTS Rowers Club stands today, passed every day by hundreds of joggers on the Bay Run.
"This place, where two creeks join the cove and rushes were likely to have been plentiful, is in my mind almost certainly the place where Okey and Davis were killed. At around the same time Bradley made this chart , Okey and Davis were reported in all the colonial diaries and journals."
He added: "Finding the name Bloody Point is I think important in several ways. "It marks the site of the first punitive expedition in the Sydney region that was specifically designed to ‘strike terror’ into Aboriginal people who had either been involved in violence against the colonists, or who apparently needed to be ...
"From Governor Phillip right through to Governor Macquarie’s military campaigns of 1816, the same language was used to describe punitive expeditions – they were to ‘infuse a universal terror’ or to ‘strike terror’ among Aboriginal people outside the settlements.
"Bloody Point marks the site of the beginning of what in Sydney was very much an officially sanctioned, military led system, based in previous experience of insurgency in Ireland and frontier warfare experience in North America in particular."
He says the killing of the two convicts, who had it seems transgressed Aboriginal law on Wangal land at Bloody Point, is also a reminder that the warfare and conflict across the Sydney region was not always one way traffic – that while there were massacres, there was also Aboriginal resistance.
Historian Stephen Gapps who works at the Maritime Museum.
Looking towards the rowers' club, Dr Gapps said: "You can see how low the water is when the shopping trolleys emerge. That's how shallow the water is and there would have been rushes all around here. I would say 99.9 per cent that this is where the convicts were killed."
A spokeswoman for the Office of Environment and Heritage said that anyone could nominate an item for the State Heritage Register but that no such nomination had been made for the Haberfield Rowers Club.
The Office of Environment and Heritage website states that if there is enough evidence for an item to be considered for listing, the Heritage Council calls for community comment so that everyone has the opportunity to have their say.
A place or object is listed on the State Heritage Register when the minister agrees to the Heritage Council's recommendation that it is of State heritage significance.
Asked what should happen now, Dr Gapps added: "I think it should get some formal assessment by the Heritage Council and recognition should be given that Bloody Point was a place name.
"I don't think they should rename it Bloody Point. Imagine the uproar. House prices would tumble."
(Reuters) - Mo Farah scored a stunning Chicago Marathon victory as he won in two hours five minutes and 11 seconds in only his third race over the distance on Sunday.
After biding his time for much of the race, the British four-time Olympic track champion surged to the lead in the final four miles and broke Ethiopian Mosinet Geremew to shatter the European marathon record of 2:05:48 despite wet, cool and sometimes windy conditions.
Farah, 35, thrust his right arm into the air as he neared the finish line and delightedly celebrated the victory with his ‘Mobot’ pose.
Geremew finished second in 2:05:24 with Japan’s Suguru Osako third in a national record of 2:05:50.
Farah’s former training partner and the defending champion Galen Rupp was fifth in 2:06:21.
Last year’s runner-up, Kenyan Brigid Kosgei won the women’s race in 2:18:35.
Kosgei, 24, won by more than two minutes as she defeated Ethiopia’s Roza Dereje.
The men’s wheelchair race produced a major surprise, with 20-year-old American Daniel Romanchuk edging Swiss double defending Chicago winner Marcel Hug to win in 1:31:34.
In the women’s race, world-record holder Manuela Schaer of Switzerland clocked 1:41:38 to end American Tatyana McFadden’s seven-race Chicago streak. McFadden finished seventh.
Farah’s victory sealed his transition from track to roads.
The double Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 meters champion had run the marathon only twice — in the 2014 and 2018 London races — but in defeating a strong international field he showed he has the stamina and tactics to do well at the longer distance.
“We weren’t sure about the pace because the conditions weren’t great,” he said of the early stages of the race.
Only Geremew, the fastest man in the field with a 2:04.00 marathon, was able to stay with Farah and even he succumbed to the Briton’s kick.
Farah’s winning time shattered his personal best by more than 70 seconds and added to his collection of European records. He is now the fastest European at 1,500m (3:28.81), 10,000m (26:46.57) and the marathon.
“He ran unbelievable,” said Rupp, the 2016 marathon bronze medalist.
The two men worked together for six years in Oregon under Alberto Salazar before Farah returned to England last year to train with Gary Lough, the husband and former coach of women’s world marathon record-holder Paula Radcliffe.
After a break, Farah is likely to turn his attention to more gold, first at the 2019 Doha world championships and then the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
I found it ironic that when Chase unexpectedly returned home, Pamela chose to keep her distance from him for a while, because we were just discussing this very thing (emotional distance) on SpouseBUZZ before the show aired last night. Pamela had gone through a traumatic experience with the bombing at the Hump Bar, and ...
Clearly Pamela realized two things; she can go it alone if she has to, but at the same time, she is beginning to realize how frustrating the secret nature of Chase's fairly new job is going to be. Pamela said to Chase, "I needed you then and I couldn't even call you." But, turnabout is fair play, and when Chase told Pa...
Is this what you go through all the time, not knowing? You are not alone in this Pamela as much as you think you are, you're not.
When we talked with Katherina Fugate, I told her something about that van stuck with me during the season finale last year and she hinted that it would play a role, and it did.
I loved how Chase took charge of the household; cleaning the house and preparing a family dinner for Pamela. Guess that line, "I always have a lot of stuff to do because you're not around," made Chase appreciate how often Pamela is mommy and daddy.
I think I teared up during all of the scenes with Claudia Joy, even during her uncharistic meltdown at the PX. It's no doubt going to be a long, tough journey for the Holden family as they figure out how to live their lives without Amanda. Can I just say that I adore Michael Holden? I'm surprised that we didn't see Jer...
Our gal Roxy is back in fine form. I loved when she busted in the hospital administrator's office and told the Colonel he needed to help Betty out and allow her to stay in an Army hospital instead of moving her to a crummy civilian hospital. When the Colonel explained that since she's not Army, protocol dictates that c...
She had everything destroyed by one of our own so we gotta make it right.
