China s Land Problem C

The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated station present the Pacific Story. In the morning fury of world conflict, events in the Pacific are taking on ever greater importance. Here is the story of the Pacific and the millions of people who live around this greatest sea.

The drama of the people who's destiny is at stake in the Pacific War. Here as another public service is the tale of the war in the Pacific and its meaning to us and to the generations to come.

China's land problem. The plains of Tichuan were dry under the sun. The soil was sushti, and there was no cloud in the sky.

There would be no crop, because famine time again is the golden granary of China. So we said when the rains came down and when the Yangtze stayed within its banks. One thought of all the rice of China comes from Chitwa.

The rice spouted green and lush. We worked in the fields from dawn until dark. Sometimes my father would stop and straighten up and look out toward the mountains in the west. Those mountains give us our life way.

Look at him in awe. The snows melt on the mountains, and the rivers bring the waters down to us. He looked down at the precious water around our feet. We are fortunate. Have you eaten my neighbours?

This was our greeting one to the other when we met. Yes, Wang. Have you eaten? Yes. It is said that there is trouble. What trouble, Wang? Between Lu and Wei of Shondu and Lu Xiang of Zhongqing.

Lu and Wei is the uncle of Lu Xiang, is he not? Yes. That is what makes it trouble of the worst kind. Family trouble. Each has an army and they are marching against each other.
