I recently visited a remote Dong village in the mountains of Quizho, one of China’s poorest provinces, miles away from the nearest paved road; yet it had electricity, and with electricity had come not just television, but the internet. While some rising incomes came from remittances from family members who had migrated to coastal cities, the farmers, too, were better off, with new crops and better seeds: the government was selling, on credit, high-grade seeds with a guaranteed rate of germination.
我最近访问了中国最为贫困省份之一的贵州省的偏僻村落东村。这个村子距离最近的马路也有好几英里，但是它通了电，不仅有电视，还有互联网。不仅移居到沿海城市的家里人汇款让他们的收入提高，而且农民自己也日子好过了。他们有了新的庄稼和更好的种子。政府贷款出售保证发芽率的高等级种子。
