Discover exquisite, sometimes haunting, images of people and landscape in China's rural heartland, captured by photographer P H Yang in October 2007, during an emotional and thought-provoking trip to document projects of The Zigen Fund with 20 years of hands-on experience on grassroots development in China. Feast on dazzling images from remote villages in the barren Loess Plateau of Shanxi, the poverty-stricken Miao minority habitats of Guizhou, and the often stark conditions of ghettos for migrant workers outside Beijing. Please note that images displayed on the Internet are of low resolution and cannot do justice to the quality of a professionally printed high resolution photograph. Go see the actual prints in all their glory.  I Wanna Go to School A young boy at Sparrow Village helps out in the field but would rather go to school.
