How is China governed from the ground up? What does political leadership look like far from Beijing?
In this 80-minute documentary, Xinhua's Miao Xiaojuan is joined by six Western experts on a journey across China to meet the unsung heroes driving rural development, resolving disputes, and dreaming under the stars.
From a remote Yi village in Sichuan, to an ancient porcelain town in Jiangxi, to an unearthly, windswept city in Qinghai, they take a rare, firsthand look at the mechanics, challenges, and human faces of grassroots governance in China.
This is one trip you don't want to miss!
