Abstract: As a typical ethnic minority village in the scattered ethnic minority areas of Province A, H Village in Z Town, W County has actively explored grassroots practices to foster a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. These practices include strengthening the construction of grassroots Party organizations to build cohesion, and maintaining rural harmony and stability through the collaborative development strategy of co-construction, co-governance, and shared benefits. These efforts have yielded significant results. However, H Village also faces several challenges, such as the risk to sustainable development due to excessive dependence on external resources, the need to deepen the narrative of red culture, and the limited effectiveness of grassroots democratic participation mechanisms. To address these challenges, H Village needs to establish an endogenous industrial development model, enhance the depth of red culture narratives, and build inclusive grassroots governance participation mechanisms, thereby further fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.

Key words: scattered ethnic minority areas, fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, grassroots practices
