This is possibly the best piece I've heard on the human side of China's rapid economic development. It tells the story of the people caught up in the whirlwind change. They invest in their hopes, only to see those hopes dashed by poorly thought out policies. It clearly shows the tensions between rapid development, environmental concerns and short term political interests.
The sound is fantastic. The picture of the people and the landscape is vivid. The writing is clear, concise, and colourful.
This versatile piece would be an excellent addition to both a current affairs format and a human interest program. Highly recommended.
