在木山子附近人烟稠密的乡村土地非常稀缺，以至于农民们都在开垦陡峭的、水土流失的每一寸山坡。

Land is so scarce in the crowded countryside near Musanze that farmers struggle to cultivate every foot of the steep, eroding hillsides.

在黄河口开垦土地达八年的另一些农民们，他们较为友好较为世故一些。他们对我说，“这是老蒋造的孽。”

Other farmers, more friendly and more worldly, who had labored eight years to reclaim the land around the river mouth, said to me: "Old Chiang did this."
