Abstract
In this video, we interviewed five different residents living in富民小区or Prosperity Residential Compound. They said that the compound was built for Torghut herders and other low-income families in Hejing county. However, most of the herders living there are seasonal residents who stay at the county centre during the winter season. Over the last few decades, herders often come to Hejing for medical treatment, or for short stays in winter before they go back in the springtime for sheep lambing.
