How many people moved away from the Yangstee Valley for the Three Gorges Dam?
Millions for sure. Not compensated too well, I wouldn't imagine; maybe not at all.
They (some of them) dug up the bones of their ancestors to take with them, away from where they had lived for generations, and said it was for the good of the country.
That kind of relationship with the state is foreign to us.
