In June 2012, a group of seven students from Stony Brook University set out on a reportorial tour of China.
They visited two areas: first, Baoding, which is about 90 miles south of Beijing in Hebei Province; second, Guizhou Province, which is located in southwest China and is the poorest, most rural area in the country.
