Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province of China, used to be a poor county but has become rich due to rapid economic growth in recent years. This article examines whether all people living in Shenmu can rightfully benefit from this new economic prosperity and wealth. Facing various challenges, the local government adopted breakthrough social reforms, especially the ‘medical care system free for everyone’. This represented an essential progress in the promotion of citizen's right to health, and the Shenmu case demonstrates the important relationship between human rights and good governance. The experiences of Shenmu attract wide attention inside the country and may be quite enlightening for other localities in today's China
