Taipan Village("Cun"in Chinese) is in the mountain of Guizhou Province, South-west China. The basketball game full of local colour makes this village with less than 1,200 people in a hot discussion on the website. People on the Internet also call the basketball game "Cun BA". Since 2020, the local farmers nearby have had different activities to celebrate a good harvest, with basketball being the most welcome one. According to the rule of "Cun BA", the players must be the local male farmers from 18 to 35 years old, so you will see a lot of people with different jobs like cow-raisers, wheat-growers and vegetable-sellers work hard for different teams,which covers 198 teams.
A lot of people watch the game. Some basketball fans travel hundreds of miles to watch and cheer their favourite team. Some people born here but working outside even come back to enjoy the game. During the 45-day period of game, Taipan Village has over 500,000 visitors, providing more possibilities for its development in sports and tourist industry. On the first day of the game, the products, including mascot toys, basketballs, and the team uniforms were sold for over 300,000 yuan. Basketball helps push the poor village forward.
