The Chinese images were made for Plan International in China in 2000. Yan Qing is a village about an hour from Beijing and Yulin in the west of China near the Mongolian border. The majority of farmers in this region live in caves carved out of clay hills which are terrased to grow wheat and almond trees. The cave homes consist of two rooms, one for living and cooking and another with a big sleeping platform, heated by the stovepipe for the family to use together. Dust storms make living there a hard life, but the soil is fertile and the people make do. There are milage markers on the roads put there by Kublai Khan.
