Mañana se celebra el 60 aniversario de la fundación de la Republica Popular China. Dentro de este contexto la agencia Associated Press, Ap para los amigos, ha enviado esta comparativa de imágenes antiguas y modernas de la aldea de Huaxi.

Huaxi es considerada oficialmente la ciudad más rica de toda China.
