位於周村北郊，人口不足900人的东塘材，十几年前还是“一湾百年污水塘，一条穿街泥水路，几棵无果弯弯树，几排东倒西歪屋”的贫困村落，而今呈现在人们眼前的已是一座座居民楼错落有致，一排排标准厂房整齐林立，中心花园点缀其间的经济发达、百业兴旺的现代化“乡村都市”。 Located in the northern suburbs of Zhoucun, Dongtangcao, with a population of less than 900, was a poor village more than a decade ago with “a hundred-year old sewage pond in a bay, a muddy water street, several tree-bending trees, and a few rows of houses” Presently, people nowadays have a patchwork of residential buildings, rows of standard workshops are neat and tidy, and the center garden is dotted with a modern “rural city” with developed economy and all walks of life prosperous.
