A village head in Zhen'an county, Shaanxi province, has been staying in a cave for two years trying to build a road linking the village to the outside world.

Yang Baolin, 49, deputy director of villagers' committee of Shuping village, surrounded by 20 hills, decided to build a 15-km road connecting the village with the main highway.

In 2007, Yang moved into a cave near the under-construction road so that he wouldn't have to travel a long distance to get to work everyday.

Yang and his team of villagers are still toiling hard to build the road, which they say has hit a roadblock due to shortage of funds.
