Liu Ke, author of the popular comics "crazy neighbours," and his wife Meng Qingnan are among the first batch of cartoonists who moved into Changxue Villagein south China's Hainan Province to live and work.

By actively promoting the development of animation industry, Changxue Village has attracted a number of animation enterprises and cartoonists to settle down.

The development of animation industry and the arrival of cartoonists have injected vitality to the old village and created new work opportunities for local villagers.
