Elderly feel cozy in cave-style houses
A man watches TV in his cave-style house in Ruicheng, North China's Shanxi province, Aug 9, 2010. His wife has gone to care of their grandbaby in the suburban area, leaving the 72-year-old alone at home. As urbanization uproots more villagers, the cave dwellings have become less popular, but some elderly people who have become accustomed to living on the yellow earth plateau are not parting with their cave-style houses. Caves are more primitive, but the air is nice and fresh by the hillside. For them, the traditional earthen caves are as comfortable as modern houses. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
