Dong Juming, 67, and Yu Zhanglai, 67, Yujiaping Village.

More than half of the population of Yujiaping has moved to a new village, but a new house costs 200,000 RMB (U.S.$32,000) and Dong and his wife can’t afford to move. When a new road was built between the old and new villages, each family was supposed to contribute 1,000 RMB, but the couple didn’t have the money.
