China countryside and more and more for 10 hours from Guiping to Guangzhou. There is no easy way in or out of Guiping, which is one of the things holding it back from huge change. The countryside and villages are fascinating - but only for about 7 hours or so.
Ling to MPA: what percentage of Chinese live in the countryside farming?
Answer: when I return.
Most Chinese are farming the same way they did 100s of years ago, with an ox and a plow and sweat. The fields are very tidy, but the villages are full of mud, chickens, stray dogs. Its pretty poor, but all the kids go to school now. 10 years ago a law was made that made school mandatory for all kids under 9th grade. After 9th grade it costs about 1000 yuan ($150.) for 1/2 a year.
