Zhongfen village in East China's Anhui province was in the past often referred to as an "empty nest" as many of its younger residents left to work in cities, so that it was mainly populated by elderly residents and children. However, changes gradually took place in the village – which is surrounded by mountains - and Zhongfen is now attracting young people who are returning to their roots. The following photos reflect the changes and also raise questions about the future of the village.
