520			_a"Along a narrow mud road that cuts through the unending farmland of central China sits a peasant village so modest it hardly deserves its evocative name. At the end of the lane is the dirt-floored hovel of Bai Li Yun, an illiterate farmer who cannot afford to support his five children. Until recently, Bai, 46, had left Two Dragons only once before....For at least eight generations, members of the extended Bai clan have lived in Two Dragons, the rhythm of their lives almost unchanged as they have struggled to survive as farmers in a poor, overpopulated country. There have been years of famine and of bounty, eras of political upheaval and of calm. Yet always they have lived and worked with 'our eyes facing the yellow earth, our backs pointed toward heaven,' according to a proverb quoted by one Bai. There is no ancient saying to describe the changes sweeping through the Bai clan of today. One by one they are fleeing the land." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article illustrates "the migration of the Bai family and millions more from the countryside" to "the city, where many...have found opportunity and heartbreak as tiny, nearly anonymous contributors to the modern economic boom that is reshaping China" by "transforming a vast communist country that is still, at its heart, a fiefdom of lords and peasants into a fierce competitor for the West."
