Sun Deyu, 81, works on a bamboo-made basket in front of his house at Guanling village, Ningde city in Fujian province, Sept 24. Sun has six children, all of whom are permanently working outside the village. There are 569 people registered at the remote village, yet fewer than 100, most of whom are old people and children, are permanent residents, as the adult men have all left seeking their fortunes elsewhere. A family holiday reunion has become the wildest dream of the elderly. [Photo/Xinhua]
