To make matters worse, the government said that "China is - this is not the cave people," and closed the village school at the beginning of 2011. Now the kids have to go on foot two o'clock every morning to a different school.

In order to improve the living conditions in the village, the elders tried to persuade the local board to build a road and connect the settlement with the existing infrastructure. Although the village has Chzhundun TV and sometimes - the newspapers, on the whole it is cut off from the rest of the world.

The village even has its own basketball court.
