NPC deputy seeks help for villagers living on the edge

Luo Yunlian, 44, lives on the edge of a precipice.

Born and raised in Gulu, a cliffside village in Sichuan province, Luo and more than 300 other villagers - mostly members of the Yi ethnic group - have mastered the skill of using ladders to descend the 800-meter cliff.

The only path to the outside world runs along the fast-running Daduhe River, and is often inaccessible.
