Most of the time when you see pictures of China, you see dirty, smiling poor people selling sweet potatoes by the side of the road. We take those kinds of pictures because they are unusual to us and we think you would find them interesting too; you'll probably see some of those on this website in the future, because I have a lot of them! Truth is, however, that not everything in China is so old-fashioned and bleak looking. Here is a photo of some apartments near the river in my city. I live here. It is quiet, peaceful, and has a park-like atmosphere inside. Like all places in China, there is a gate to the complex that has guards on duty 24/7; they also patrol the grounds. The standard of living in China has dramatically improved in the past ten years, and most of the people who live in the cities enjoy a comfortable life. Life in the countryside is another story for another time.
