A customer enters a small market for fresh produce in the collective village of Nanjie in Henan province, China on 3 November 2009. The Chinese economy was liberalized and reformed in the decades after the Great Leap Forward, when forced collectivization brought on famine and economic catastrophe. Going against the privatization trend of the rest of the country, Nanjie village started to re-collectivize its land in 1984. Residents of the communist village live in identical apartments and are given free health care and education, but receive only a token salary, paid in coupons rather than currency.
