From All things considered, NPR
In China, the case of a college sophomore who was elected village chief has focused attention on a new policy to encourage educated youths to serve in rural areas.
The policy's aim is to improve local governance and develop the rural economy, while easing high unemployment among college graduates.
Several times during the past century, young Chinese have been at the center of social movements aimed at reforming China's rural society. They often found it more resistant to change than they thought.
