Over the last decade, there has been an exodus of China’s working population from the countryside to the cities. An increasingly affluent and mobile urban middle-class has led to a resurgence of interest in the country’s idyllic rural spots. But some Chinese artists, who’ve moved to the countryside, feel that they’re seeing a sanitised version of the countryside and want to show the reality of rural life in China.
