have you stayed on the country side before?
many years ago I happened to stay there for a night due to an unexpected heavy snow fall. Most of the famers stayed outside that night because they were afraid the snow might crash their straw houses. And that night the temperature is -5 not counting windchill factor. I wouldn't say "中国的福利还是比较普遍的", maybe only for people with "户口". And we all know 80%-90% of people there don't have that.
