A woman leaves her village shelter into new urban housing in China

Chen Hua, 50, moves out of a village accommodation for her new urban home in Liaocheng city in northeastern China.

Her former village house was bulldozed by the government three years ago to make way for high-rise development.

In the years between her rural home being razed and the completion of her new city apartment, she and her family lived in temporary village housing such as this one.
