Eking Out an Existence in China's Remote Badlands
I heard an interesting story about life in a rural Chinese village on NPR tonight on the drive home. The region is suffering from a ten-year drought and villages are disappearing as folks move out of the region to cities. There are a number of pictures, including one of a traditional house carved out of the side of a hill, and a slide show of life in north-central China. The slide show is particularly interesting with a lot of information about life for kids in rural China.
Update: here is the link to the slide show
and here is a link to the related series of stories
