Farming shakeup is magnet for migrants

Village sees influx of workers after Party chief's reforms boost incomes

Most villages in rural China have experienced an exodus of young people over the past two decades - but Daicun in Linyi, Shandong province, has seen an influx of migrants keen to benefit from its development.

"As Daicun gets richer and the lives of residents have improve, the village is becoming an increasingly attractive place to live," said Wang Chuanxi, the village Party chief, who locals say is the prime mover behind the phenomenon.
