A child led introduction to Chan鈥檊ou in Yunnan Province, China. He Ruiqin lives in a remote mountain village about three hours from the ancient city of Lijiang. Her parents are subsistence farmers, making a living from the crops of wheat, potatoes and barley grown on the steep terrace slopes surrounding their house.

During term time Ruiqin and her friends all board at school because the journey is too long to travel everyday and their parents work so hard and spend long hours in the fields tending their crops. The area is famous for its fast running rivers and deep gorges. Local people travel across the system of fast rivers by boat so that they can trade their produce. At home with her family she helps in the fields and spends time with her baby sister. They grow their own food and love to eat the traditional spicy food associated with this region of China.
