and i found this random map of relocation of people.
but according to the information that zhiyi found, they are perfectly happy!
Relocation of People“More than 1.05 million residents in the Three Gorges dam area have been successfully relocated over the past two decades,” an official in charge of operations said at a press conference on August 31.
The number accounts for 82.6 percent of the 1.13 million people who were expected to be displaced from their homes in the water diversion project area, according to Cao Guangjing, deputy manager with China Yangtze Three Gorges Project Corporation (CTGPC), the company in charge of the development of the project.
Cao said most of the resettled people are satisfied with their new homes and enjoy better living conditions.
China began the eight-year trial resettlement exercise in 1985 in the Three Gorges area and launched official resettlement in 1993 when the construction of the 185-meter-high dam started on the middle reaches of China's longest river, the Yangtze.
and of course, a picture of the TGD.
