Although living in a cave, the village has a basketball court for children to play.
The village called Middle East is located in Guizhou Province (China), located at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level, located deep in a large natural cave. In order to get to the base, it took more than an hour to climb the mountain, because of this distance, the community of people living here had a lot of difficulties.
The small village in the cave has about 100 people living.
In 2011, the Chinese government closed schools here because they said: "China is not a society of prehistoric people."
Now children have to walk 2 hours every morning and evening to go to another school.
In order to improve the spiritual life for the villagers, the elders tried to persuade the local government to build them a pathway to connect with existing infrastructure. Although the Middle East village now has a television connection and has periodic newspapers, there is still a big gap between the villagers and the outside world.
Life completely separate the outside world of the villagers.
Previously the children were educated in the village but the class was closed by the government since 2011.
Each week, they will walk and buy essential items at the market 15km away.
The children in the village have a basketball court to play.
