poverty, miles to school, ill family members , and yet these families don't seem bitter. The children continue to go to school, the surviving parents continue to put their children's needs above their own. It is said, that who you truly are, will show itself in the face of adversity. These people amaze and humble me with their spirit.

Yeah, yeah. Becoming a soldier and help the banditry-hooligan communist government to bully and invade little Taiwan and the South Seas. Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the US helped China develop when it decided to open up, hoping that a prosperous and advanced China would become a democratic regime. However, the Chinese are now ingrates, biting the hands which had fed them, and became an accursed bully. The CCP continues to brainwash its people with an anti-foreign sentiments, believing everyone is China's enemy and they rather embrace dictatorship than democracy because they need the CCP to protect them from invasion. The CCP also feeds them with an invading, bullying nationalistic sentiments - this is your mother's sovereignty, that's your granny's land, not to allow your daddy's balls being split apart. China people don't understand wealth and military power cannot earn respect and adoration.

At first, my thoughts were this is kinda sad, a village decimated by progress and urbanization. Then I thought about middle America where drugs are ravaging the community and the young people stay put and have no jobs. Then I realized, what China has is actually better. This is what progress should look like. You can't have the best of both worlds. The school headmaster said a lot of young people left their town to work in big cities and now have good lives. That's exactly what should happen. Obviously, the most ideal scenario is the young people stay put, build up the community and make the community thriving. But that's a bit unrealistic. This place is remote, has frequent droughts and not at all a good place to live. Everybody should leave to wherever they can go to have a better life.

Don't think poverty can be eradicated completely. However, we can bridge the wealth gap by having the rich helping the poor through a system.. Basically, the objective is to get prosperity more equally 'distributed' among citizens.

Is this what a forward moving society needs? Perhaps it simply is not sustainable to live in a village anymore? You cannot blame people for wanting to move out.
@MelissaBrownapt2156 жыл бұрын
Kenneth Chan Who says they *all* want to move. Human beings do what they must to survive, from moving to committing crimes. Survival of the fittest, not faith or prayer, gets people through, even if with sustained misery. That is how the ruling elite continue. Human beings have a high threshhold for suffering, before they revolt. Think French Revolution.

9:44 made me really sad. she allowed herself to dream for just a second, and then pulled herself back together because her son is not going to be a doctor or a lawyer, and conformed with her reality. you could see she wanted to cry because she couldn't provide her son with the best opportunities, but I want all parents out there to know, we know you work hard and do your best to give us the best you can. we love you.

No. In China, ypu only need to study hard and then there is no other requirments to be a lawyer or a doctor. If you can be admitted by the universities and pass the professional exam, then you can be.

There are so many dialects in China but many of them are dying off because in school they don't teach the kids there native dialects. My cousin's kid is from Shanghai and lives there but he can't even speak a lick of Shanghainese (the native dialect of Shanghai) which is the common for most young people living there. The adults joke about it and say a Shanghai boy who can't even speak Shanghainese is embarrasing, but in reality is really sad to see these dialects dying all around China. If the rural school closes it'll be really sad.. this means the kids won't learn the traditions and culture of where they are from.
