Transition from rural riverside to urbanized area, China, 1992

The video opens with a view of a quiet, rural riverside scene with traditional Chinese wooden buildings lining the riverbank, and leafless trees suggesting late autumn or early winter. As the camera pans to the left, additional buildings and pathways leading to the river become visible, maintaining a tranquil atmosphere. A man dressed in a suit appears walking away from the camera, indicating a transition to a more developed region. Newer and older buildings mix together, with modern multi-story buildings in the background indicating a shift towards urbanization.
