The bachelor village
Laoya, which means "Old Duck" village, is known locally as the "bachelor village".
In a survey in 2014 it had 112 men between 30 and 55 registered as single out of a population of 1,600. That is unusually high.
Mr Xiong said he knew of more than 100 local men who were still unmarried: "I cannot find a wife, they migrate to somewhere else to work, then how can I find someone to marry?"
Then he mentioned the road again.
"Transportation is so difficult here, we cannot go across the river when it rains. Women don't want to settle down."
