COVER STORY
Rural Rising
中国乡村“变形记”
China wants to eradicate poverty by 2020—and we’re checking up on its progress. From a fishing island that transformed itself to a rainbow-hued tourist mecca, to “cliff villagers” who stream their lives from 2,500 meters up, the paths to prosperity are as varied as the communities themselves. Yet behind the success stories, challenges such as rural depopulation and extreme pressure on anti-poverty workers remain
Feature Stories
Game of Drones
无人机的赛场
Whether used in pandemic control or light shows, drones are reshaping life in China, its biggest manufacturer and second biggest global market. But will fierce competition and international politics prevent the country’s cutting-edge drone innovations from taking off?

A Tangled Weave
百亿假发产业的“生长痛”
China exports 80 percent of the world’s hair products, embraced by consumers amid new fashion trends and rising hair loss. Yet as its influence grows, the unique industry has become entangled in raw hair and labor shortages, and fluctuations in global trade

School of Life

Kaleidoscope 镜像中国
Paint the Town
千年古村里的诗意与烟火气
An isolated village in the mountains of southern Anhui has long attracted painters for its bucolic setting and centuries-old homes—and the fight is on to keep it that way. Photographer Meng Qingchun captures fleeting moments of daily life and quiet reflection during a reprieve from tourists brought on by Covid-19, and wonders what the future holds for the community

Dragon’s Digest 三味书屋
District Champ
短篇小说《铁西冠军》

Gallery 水墨丹青
Soul’s Entryway
有一封信，通往爱和灵魂家园
Heilongjiang-born artist Wang Zhanwu paints poetry in his new solo exhibition, a six-year creative labor that combines vivid oil paints and pastoral motifs in a love letter to a small northern community—and the nostalgic villages “of everyone’s heart”

Memory Lane 那些年
Rough Ride
自行车上的四十年
Bicycles were the ultimate symbol of post-reform China, embodying the mobility and burgeoning consumerism of the era. Though they now compete with cars, an embrace of green and healthy lifestyles shows that the ride isn’t over yet in the “Kingdom of Bicycles”

On The Road 在路上
Right to Roam
徒步山西长城，体验“走西口”
The Great Wall in northern Shanxi was once a formidable frontier braved by migrants seeking a better life on the Mongolian steppes. Today, adventurous trekkers who recreate the journey known as zou xikou find ancient villages, crumbling forts, and a chance to connect with locals and nature in the starkly scenic landscape
