Hidden away amongst spectacular mountain peaks, villages deserted by the younger generations still survive despite being cut off from the modern world as no roads have been built to reach them. Rather than investing in an expensive and unprofitable road network, the Chinese government resettles village inhabitants on the outskirts of major cities. The village of Xiao Jiang will not be spared. But one villager decides to stand his ground. To save his home, Yuan Feng HUANG dreams of building a road, digging through the mountain over more than 5 kilometers - a truly audacious undertaking for one man alone. This was his plan for his retirement. But at the age of 48, Yuan Feng learns that he has cancer and that his days are numbered. So, he’s decided to build the road now. If he succeeds, the village of Xiao Jiang will be saved and the inhabitants’ lives will be transformed forever. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Investigate Asia for free: Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/endevrdocs/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #InvestigateAsia #dangerous #china ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to Investigate Asia - Explore the diverse landscapes of Asia through in-depth documentaries that delve into the region's politics, economy, culture, and history.
