'Road of love' gives village better access

Husband makes wife's wish come true from courting days of having to walk through mud

Visitors to Gufo village in the township of Zhaoya in Luxian county, Sichuan province, are often surprised to find that its road is paved with gravel and sand instead of concrete, but the villagers are extremely satisfied.

The new surface is a vast improvement on the dirt road they had to endure until recently. They no longer have to brave the dust when it is dry and sunny or the mud and puddles when it rains.
