    Most of it was in that video. Lots of very beautiful landscape shots there. One guy is so happy and he says that Xi Jinping and the engineering corps is full of miracle workers. He said he no longer would have to carry his kid four hours to school up and down a cliff face.

    He had to do that to his pregnant wife too.

    The Communist Party official there thinks that keeping the village there will be very good in the long term. It will have good tourism and it can cultivate food for itself more easily now, including Yi ethnic minority dishes. He thinks theyre projected to bring around 50-70k RMB in through various means each month but they could easily get by on 10k RMB for the entire village per month.

        Things will look up a lot for this village I think, the state media made a huge effort to do wide panning shots of the countryside and mentioned traditional dishes so I'm betting they're going to a get a lot of tourism soon.

            Yep. They also mentioned the village had a lot of older pensioners in it so they gonna get that authentic grandma food if you visit lol. That guy who had to carry his wife down the mountain mentioned she opened a grocery store / food court with a handful of other residents for authentic dishes.

            Collectivist projects that legitimately improve the lives of people.

            In comparison, we're letting our infrastructure fall apart, it's been decades since we've done anything more significant or ambitious than replacing an old bridge with a newer (and one lane wider) bridge, and even that we barely manage. Easy to see who is the ascending power, and who is in terminal decline.

        yes and they now are able to cross the ravine to the other cliff village within 20 minutes. that would have been a full days affair before. and there were so many elderly there that physically could not leave without an airlift and probably didnt want to leave because they lived there their whole life. its great they did this

        and tbh i sometimes make weird language errors like that because im fluent in both english and czech so things get all jumbled when i type sometimes
