Quotations
The Si Kiang is one of China’s major rivers and forms the principal avenue of commerce for Liangkwang and the southwest. It is navigable for junks to the borders of Yunnan, while river steamers may reach Wuchow at the eastern margin of Kwangsi. Except for occasional sand bars and sharp bends, it might be utilized by ocean vessels.

Later CH'EN Ch'eng obtained permission for YEH to reside with him in En-shih, Hupeh on the personal responsibility of CH'EN; but soon after YEH and his family arrived CH'EN Ch'eng's new command in western Yunnan made it impossible for CH'EN himself to reside at En-shih. Thereupon CH'EN suggested to CHANG Fa-k'uei, a friend of YEH's, that the latter move with his family to Kwangsi.

To gather information on agricultural mechanization in general and on the question of displacement of labor in densely populated areas in particular, Hsing Nan and others conducted a five-month investigation during late 1963 and early 1964. The tour included visits to regions of extensive cultivation in Heilungkiang, Liaoning (Fushin County), Inner Mongolia, and Peking. The investigation also examined mechanization of irrigation and processing in Hupeh (Hsinchou County and O-ch'eng County, both in the densely populated lakes region east and northeast of Wuhan), Hunan (Hoyang County), Kwangtung (Nanhai and Tungkuan counties, both fairly near Canton in the Pearl River Delta), and Kwangsi. Roughly half of Hsiang Nan's report was devoted to proving that mechanization was a proper policy in these densely populated areas.
