What is life like…in China?


China is changing at a remarkable rate but the countryside, where the majority of China’s 1.3 billion citizens live, remains much the same as it has for centuries. This documentary, shot entirely on location in China, offers a window on life in rural village, capturing in compelling detail the daily life of a Chinese family so your children can learn about the true culture and life in rural China.

One Day in Ping Wei follows 10 year old Liu Yen Twin, or Twin Twin as her parents call her, as she does her chores, goes to school, and helps her parents in their home-based business. It is narrated by children in both English and Mandarin (with subtitles). From work to play, in the kitchen and in the fields, the stunning images paint a picture of China.

Located within the city limits of Huainan, Ping Wei is a small village that sits on the banks of the Huai He River. Known as the mother river of Huainan, the Huai He irrigates the surrounding land and the residents of Ping Wei farm the fields, growing a variety of crops but predominantly wheat and soybeans. The population of the village is about 1,000 people, and most live in traditional walled compounds. While the villagers have access to electricity they have few of the amenities of western homes. Water is pumped by hand from wells – and indoor plumbing and central heating are for the large part non-existent. All of this is vividly captured in One Day in Ping Wei, a 30-minute documentary that is both educational and entertaining.

Review of One Day in Ping Wei June 12, 2008
Reviewer: Mom waiting to adopt from China from Starkville, MS United States  
I am a homeschool mom and bought this dvd to watch with my children because we are learning about China. It is an interesting look at what life is like for the majority of people in China, those who live in rural areas. It even kept the interest of my four-year-old! Very informative and well done.

Amazing that Pei Wang and China allowed these DVDs February 11, 2008
Reviewer: American Grandmother of a Chinese Granddaughter from Monrovia, CA  
A Day in Pei Wang shows life in a small village in a northern province.  I found the making of tufu quite interesting.  The elemetary school should give us in a America (or other first world country) a reason to be grateful for the school facilities we have.  It should also give thought to the fact that students can learn a lot with a desk, blackboard, books & a teacher.
