<<The men of Blue Dragon village are taking in their autumn harvest, fanning out in small teams across their fields.
Corncobs litter the land. The men pick them up by hand and throw them into waiting tractor trailers. It is a typical scene in China's countryside. But this is no ordinary village. As far as the authorities are concerned, it does not exist. You cannot find it on any map. The power cables have all been cut. None of the dozens of families in Blue Dragon village has official ID cards required for social services, and to travel and work around the country. "I just want my identity back," says Liang Qiquan, a farmer. "The government promised that it would address this issue but it never did.">> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15285839
"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." "The dog did nothing in the night-time." "That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes. |

"There's a Chinese Village in my garden!"
"NOPE! Chuck Testa!"
