The Land of Many Palaces
Description
In the next 20 years, the Chinese government aims to move a quarter of a billion farmers from the countryside to new cities: the largest migration of people in the history of the world. What does this progress look like? And what is being left behind? This extraordinary and often comic ob-doc follows the huge changes in the lives of rural people as they are transplanted to a ready-made metropolis and abandon their ancient way of living.
