Sichuan China's Bridges: Miao Zi Ping Bridge (2)

July 2008 (31.021 Degrees, 103.544 Degrees) Miao Zi Ping Bridge

This photo has an almost painterly quality about it. Maybe because I took it from the window of a fast-moving Chinese Government SUV.

China is an interesting country where the individual and society have a different relationship than in the west. For instance, this reservoir is part of the Minjiang River, which was dammed for the good of society as a whole. Those individuals who lived along the river had little recourse but to rebuild their lives somewhere else. Maybe that's not so different from what the Tennessee Valley Authority did in the United States during the Depression?
