Fifty-Two Springs Village

Fifty-Two Springs Village got its name from its many springs, which converge into a small river that serves as one of the water sources for the city of Shanchai. The village has a key rural elementary school and an abandoned church. Xin Difang, a university student from the Xin family, investigated the village's history at the request of Professor Qian, who taught sociology at her school, and submitted a report as her assignment. Uncle Luo, an educated youth who had once lived with the Xin family while sent down to the countryside, donated money to restore the village church and also set up a small clinic.
