China has the world's fastest growing economy, yet is also has many ancient traditions. In Beijing, where the blending of ancient and modern originates, China still rules from this political center despite its decentralizing economic changes. Viewers also visit country villages where peasants adhere more closely to ancient traditions. But powerful, diversifying forces are accelerating everywhere, especially in cities such as Shanghai and in China’s agricultural center, Sichuan.
