It is important to point Lishui is located in Zhenjiang, one of the richest province in China with an average income probably on par with Spain. It is also located very close to three major cities, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. Traditionally, lishui is poor due to its location within mountains (which makes it beautiful but difficult to access). But now with high speed rail and high speed express way, this location can be accessed very easily. I believe just 30 minutes by train from Hangzhou and probably 1 and half hour from Shanghai. They can also easily reach their audiences via high speed internet, very large logistics centers also located nearby with mostly same day delivery. So this is a human success story, but also a success story of great infrastructures

My parents grew up in the rural side in China. When they advanced in their careers, they moved to a big city, but they still maintain their rural home in a nice condition. I grew up in a city, though every once in a while I came back to the countryside and enjoyed much slower pace of life. Now I no longer live in China, but I still reminisce those simple days.

现在每隔2-3年回家就发现农村变化超级大，我老家在江西大山里面，以前是贫困村，现在马路双车道，路灯，公共厕所和垃圾站都有，5G网络覆盖，还安排村子贫困户定期打扫马路和厕所，政府给他们发工资。建了安置房，免费给交通超级不便的地方迁出入住，和低保户使用。派出所安排基层干部定期巡逻，特定聚集地有摄像头，基本不会有偷窃现象了。

​@@alexzengWow 太棒了

[@godzillamothra5983]

this can only happen because of the great infrastructure development in China. If you can easily travel from and to countryside through highway and rails, if you have good electricity and internet connection in rural area, it also mean you have no problems getting what you need from online and delivered, it also mean you have no problem go back and forth to big cities when you are bored living in countryside, it also mean it is possible if you choose to work from home. Without superb infrastructure, living in countryside with no electricity and good internet connection, I doubt many will choose that life. But this is good news for China, who tried to move more people to cities through urbanization to give them better paid works in the cities, while at the same time try to send more talents to the rural areas to serve the people who still living there.

I think RURAL is the wrong translated word for what they yearn for. I think VILLAGE LIFE is more appropriate, and it is similar to what is there in Europe. I think it is a noble idea for these young generation to transform Rural China to modern Chinese Villages, simple, neat, clean and picturesque.

[@dranzacspartan8002]

This is common throughout China. It was part of President Xi's NO POVETY project. The way that China handled moving 800 Million (twice the population of USA) from poverty to Middle Class lifestyles (MCLS) was REMARKABLE. They used their DOCTORATE students. To complete their Doctorate, the student had to pick a project to move communities from Poverty to Middle Class Life Styles. They had to observe and record the communities production strengths. They had to present a paper on how this could be ENHANCED (not cut down and insert something else). They had to do a costing to make the Enhancements. They had to present a process for self sustaining the enhancements. Then the Government gave them ALL the money they needed to implement the transition (millions of yuan were asked, and millions of yuan were awarded). An example of the incredible transition from Poverty to MCLS was a small yak community. They were a poor community but made enough for people to live a very basic life ... but not much of a future for their children. A Doctorate student lived with them for a year, did the recommendation to the government to move the to the MCLS and the costs needed to make it happen. The Government awarded the funds. Within 2 years the community built a Yak Market, selling Yak products (hygiene, medicine, clothing, crafts, paintings, etc.). The youth of the community were taught to do Live Online Broadcasts and Marketing. Roads were built from the nearest freeways, HSR stations, and commuting transports run by locals. 1.5 Billion Citizens in China were alerted to this community, and millions started to tour every year to experience the Yak country lifestyle. When asking an old Yak Herder of his experience in the upgrade, he could not believe what had happened. He said he had 30 yaks, but now he's got hundreds, with helpers helping him and bots (but he still looks after his 30). He said he goes to the Market and he goes back home with WADS of CASH in his hands. The locals now run cultural village restaurants and entertainment for the tourist who want to experience their culture. The village people now have modern schools, communication centres, banks, hotels, etc. ... and they NEVER had to change their culture, traditions, music, dances, attire, or belief's. They are extremely joyful in being able to show their life style and culture to the world.

​@@komyuhachi As a hispanic in Los Angelese with immigrant parents, hispanics/Latinos are very hard workers like East Asians. But Asians trust each other with their money and borrow it each other even outside their family which is something most hispanics do not do. Hispanics can screw each other and the even with distant family members like an uncle or cousin will not help in return and leave you to rot. I've seen how Asian's work almost like a mafia/cartel, except its not for illegal contraband or committing crimes and more like a secret bank handing out laons and work agency recommending workers.

They made good decisions! The more urbanized your surrounding areas are, the more hard you are to yourself and everyone else. City people are just rude, cold and overall lacking genuineness. But don’t you guys see, when we visit rural places for vacation other than the beautiful surroundings, the people in it play a big role in our fun moments.. generally, provincial people are just genuinely welcoming, kinder, gentle and when you meet the right locals, they are always generous with whatever little they have.. this is what the world needs.
