I will not know the truth about what people feel about the dam if I don't watch this video.. thanks vpro, ur video is fully of information..😀😀

Really disappointing to see the rude behavior of badmouthing the fellow in front of him simply because he does not understand Dutch. Maybe I should not superimpose my moral judgement on a culturally different westerner? The fisherman saw some river dolphins with his expert eyes while you did not. Later we saw some when the camera captured at the right time. Huge changes are taking place in China, there are some winners and losers. I appreciate that you are bringing this into light. The lady was nostalgic about the past. But she actually said her life was much better than before. Not sure if that got across.

great touch on questioning authorities! Plz keep going.

Thanks Kate Zhang, did you see the other episodes of our Chinese series? Check it out! kzread.info/dash/bejne/qnZ22LKserbcfc4.html

I understand that it must be very difficult for the Chinese people to develop a strong economy, feed everyone, but also help nature - it's a task that they are doing better than many countries (I'm looking at you India) but can still learn much to ensure that the future is healthy for humans and nature.

And to be fair, the reporter (kudos bro) moaning about poor air quality... well at least the dam is renewable.

关于温家大院，老实说我也没找到更多的事件资料，估计很多人也都不知道，尽管我们都明白这可能是私人和政府之间关于利益的纠葛，也可能温家有一些过高的要求，但是这些都无可厚非，地方政府的一些做法很多时候也都是违背政策的，这点我支持你们来曝光，只是这事10多年了还没有解决，也有CCTV曝光过，我想在法律上温家人可能得不到完全的支持吧，因为确实很难理解为何至今还未解决或没有按照当事人的想法解决。不知道你明不明白我所说的，既然能有CCTV记者参与，这事本来也不会小了，但是为何从当事人这方看来还是没有得到解决，特别是这几年连很多刑事冤案都会得到平反更别说这种民事案件了，这事你们有兴趣或者动力可以继续挖一下，发挥你们可能有的作用，而不是采访了借用了事件呈现了一些现象就完了，毕竟这是个别事件，我也是重庆的，三峡移民是个大工程，也有很多三峡移民到我的老家，至少我了解到的是移民政策还行，移民的生活都还不错都还算有保障。三峡工程贪污腐败肯定大面积存在，这个放在任何一个国家都会发生，而这些需要我们去发掘监督申讨，虽然公民告政府这种事在中国很少发生，不过也还是有过，只要证据站得住脚不是无理取闹或者装疯卖傻，基本上政府也不会做得那么绝。

Well said. The last story in this episode sounds like one-sided. I understand what the old couple said but the way the old lady was telling the story somehow sounded contriving. Since the reporter's goal was to dig dirt, finally he thought he got on some thing good.

The three Gorges dam also supplies water to the water starved northern places and cities like Beijing, apart from reducing China's old sorrow which were the floods. Aha, the fisherman didn't li or was instructed to spread propaganda and the porpoises are there... haha the Dutchman is happiest on his bike. Thanks for sharing. Love these videos and you amazing integration with the laobaixing.

Great to know there're more coming from VPRO. Hope you do a follow up of the same people/places as well as other parts of immense China. Thanks so much , Ruben.

水电是清洁能源，而且是人类目前所能获取的最便宜最稳定最高效的清洁能源，修水电是必然，这是水资源丰富的国家首选能源。当然，水电站肯定会带来一些自然生态和人文的改变，任何一件事都会有利有弊，但绝对不可因为有弊就不做，除非有另外一种好的获取清洁电能的方式。至少中国还是在人文保护、移民政策、生态保护上都做到了力所能及。关于中国空气质量不好，部分区域吧，特别是工业区和大城市，这一点我个人也很心急，发展和环境没有很好的并行发展，走的还是几十年前欧美国家的发展老路，当然，我也期望发展期过后，在现在中国注重环境保护的政策下，过十年我们也可以有现在已经发达很久的欧美国家的环境。

Is there any way to purchase this series on DVD?

Hi rRobert Smith, subs are in CC!

So a few thousand local river dwellers are displaced by the dam, but millions more are benefitting by the dam.

All I want to say is that the Chinese are very kind and hospitable, we invite you to our house and share our food. But if you've been trying to report with misleading questions and prejudiced suggestions, why do you report? Think of yourself as a moral high ground, shame on you.

breaking the conversation abruptly and ignoring the interviewee is not polite. You have an subjective and biased view on the river dolphin.
