China Cave Dwellers

sherif
In China's vast interior, an estimated 40 million people still live in caves (Mao himself lived in a cave). As the modernization of China continues, this way of life is slowly disappearing.

    • I wonder sometimes if the modern world is the best world to live in, and maybe we should still live in caves or huts. Then again each home structure tends to have their unique benefits. The 3 story house that I live in tends to have the "benefit" of storing ridiculous amounts of stuff. In houses, (well where I live) there isn't that much community life. Everyone is working all of the time and the day that people get together is during a once a year block party. Hmm I think I need to develop a spiritual side. lol

    • What an interesting pod. Its fascinating and somewhat nostalgic when the ancient way of living gives way to dictates of modernization...

      A nicely put together film which gives insight into the chinese way of life and where its headed.

    • An extremely interesting film report, on the changing social structures in China. The modern express-way within the story was an excellent way to illustrating the changing nature of Chinese society...

      Best wishes from Montreal!

    • It''s great to see this piece go to air! Such a great story I was able to view it when it was first submitted and it makes me so happy to see it go through the process and make it to TV.

      it''s really simple! Now, finding the right stories is not so simple...
