On the night of July 18, 2010, the Li\u00a0family courtyard in southern Shaanxi\u2019s Qiyan village was buried without warning by mud and rock in a landslide caused by torrential rains.\u00a0Li Jun (a psuedonym),<\/span>\u00a0now 55, was pulled from the rubble the next day after being buried for over 24 hours. He was the only survivor. Along with extended relatives and friends he lost his wife and his daughter.<\/p>\n

Two years later, the construction of a resettlement area down the hill from the old village is being promoted as a \u201cmodel community\u201d for an ambitious government programme that aims to move 2.8 million people within Shaanxi province, mostly in the mountainous south, from unsafe areas to new housing.<\/p>\n

Today, many people have moved into the development that features rows of new white townhouses. But many in Qiyan village say promises made in the wake of the landslide by officials have not been kept. Economic hardship for recently moved villagers shows the difficulty of trying to reduce rural poverty by government-led relocation, which often fails to provide landless rural residents with new opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe environment here is better, but our previous life up in the canyon was better,\u201d says Mrs Li,<\/strong> who relocated with her husband two years ago to the new town. \u201cBefore, I never ate anything from the government\u2019s hand. I was independent. Now we don\u2019t have any land and we are reliant on the government.\u00a0 We are in debt and we have to work, but there is not much work we can do now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most villagers, however, agree the resettlement programme is a good idea and that they would rather live in the new area than remain in old homes up in the canyon. The village of Qiyan is strung along a craggy canyon reaching back from a small valley below. While intending to relocate those in danger from landslide, the process has left residents in the most dangerous areas behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor said not to worry, that we would help these people after the landslide,\u201d says Mr Huang, a villager who works in nearby Sichuan province but returns home often. \u201cBut now many of us still don\u2019t have better homes; only people with money can afford to move into the new area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Threats of landslides and floods<\/b><\/p>\n

More than 300 people remain in the canyon where the landslide occurred, mostly living in older houses that are at serious risk from landslides and floods. Villagers complained that initial promises of government loans and subsidies for moving have been unfulfilled or modified by local level authorities.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Shaanxi governor Zhao Zhengyong visited Qiyan again, to inspect the relocation process. He proclaimed, \u201cfor the residents in south Shaanxi\u2019s mountainous areas, this will not just be a move from danger to safety, but a leap from poverty to a more comfortable life.\u201d The programme, to be implemented over 10 years, would move more than double the 1.3 million people relocated for the massive Three Gorges dam project and would be the largest government resettlement programme<\/a> in China\u2019s history, costing over $16 billion.<\/p>\n

But as the governor visited,\u00a0Li Jun\u00a0<\/span>alleges he was locked in a house up in the canyon by local authorities. \u201cAfter all that we have suffered, losing our homes and my whole family, township officials kept me up in the canyon in a house because they were afraid of me telling the truth; they only let me down when the governor had left.\u201d<\/p>\n

Li believes they were afraid that he would complain to the governor about the township government\u2019s increase of the housing prices and failure to relocate residents who still remain in unsafe homes in the canyon.<\/p>\n

Li finally obtained a new house in the development. But today, sitting in his new but sparse concrete-floored living room, he is upset. \u201cThe house cost 140,000 yuan, and I have not had land since 2010. My arm was injured in the landslide and I have no way to work!\u201d He obtained a no-interest loan of 30,000 yuan in addition to a subsidy of 60,000 yuan because he lost family members. But he has been struggling to pay the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While nearly all villagers agree that residents living in unsafe areas should be relocated to better housing, the relocation program involves more than simply moving people to new houses. It is in fact a wholesale transformation of a way of life.<\/p>\n

Relocation and loss of income<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sudden transformation has had a traumatic effect on many residents. Moving from subsistence-based agricultural lifestyles to semi-urban lifestyles without proper job training or without provision of alternative means of living has left many residents without a stable source of income. Because the government is only providing a small portion of the cost of the homes, those who want to move must find a way to pay the rest, a sometimes-daunting proposition.<\/p>\n

Mrs Li says that living in the new area has brought many new worries. \u201cWe have to pay for gas, cooking, electricity, it\u2019s much more expensive. Before we could farm and eat whatever we wanted, it was much more convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most elderly or middle-aged residents like Mrs Li have family members working in factories or cities like Shenzhen in the south. The majority of their income comes from these remittances. But still they say it is not enough to cover all their expenses, and finding working outside has become harder since the economic downturn in 2008.<\/p>\n

The South-North Water Transfer project<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to alleviating poverty and danger from landslides, another motivation for the project is reducing the amount of farmland and agricultural runoff that makes its way into the nearby Han River. The Han River<\/a> is one of the main sources for the south-north water transfer project<\/a> that aims to bring water to arid North China, including Beijing. Signs on the hillside near Qiyan proclaim \u201csend a river full of clean water to Beijing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents of Qiyan say much of their land had already been converted to forest land as part of the nationwide tuigeng huanlin\u00a0<\/i>subsidy scheme, which aims to pay farmers to plant trees on their land, and in turn slow desertification and reduce pollution from farming.<\/p>\n

Mrs Li, like many of her neighbors, say their children working abroad will eventually return home. But it\u2019s unclear what opportunities they will have. The relocation project, while seeking to move farmers to better homes, has often had the effect of removing them from their land, thereby removing a vital safety net. If relocation efforts fail to provide job training and opportunities for so-called \u201cecological migrants\u201d, they could create as many new social problems as they solve, not to mention exacerbating China\u2019s rapidly decreasing arable land area.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s urbanisation has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty. But as the country enters an era of rising labour costs, creating jobs for people moving to urban areas will be a challenge. In 2008, many experts said that migrant workers laid off in the economic downturn could return to their rural land as a backup; but in areas like Qiyan, most farmers no longer have land even though they are officially classed as \u201crural\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no work here. Do you see opportunity here?\u201d Complains Ms Wang, a resident of nearby Shuangxing village who recently moved to new apartment-style housing. \u201cIt\u2019s a little nicer down here, but we don\u2019t have much here to support us. All our land is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
