In 1990, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, was inspired by the article "The People Call for Jiao Yulu" at night. On April 1, 2009, the then Vice President Xi Jinping visited Lankao for the first time.

In the spring of 2014, he came to Lankao again. He walked into Zhangzhuang Village, Dongbatou Township, and visited the poor people. This was once the largest sandstorm outlet in Lankao, and it was also the main battlefield where J Xiao Yulu led the masses to control sandstorms. It is hoped that they will unify strong counties and enrich people.
