Loudspeakers bring nostalgia to rural China

LANZHOU - Loudspeakers are making a comeback in villages as China's rural population continues to age.

Wu Wenkui passes on the latest news and information via a loudspeaker to fellow villagers in remote Xiaowu in East China's Shandong province every day.

"Subsidies for growing rice are now available for collection," the loudspeaker broadcasts Wu's voice. "Please bring your land permit to collect your subsidy from the office."
