Leprosy once spread to the hot and humid regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. The story begins with the establishment of a sanatorium in the mountainous area of Shanshi Ping in Yunnan after the liberation of the province. This place is backed by deep mountains, facing the Pián River, and is isolated from the outside world. It was called the “leprosy hospital”, where patients had to expand the houses, build roads and bridges, and be self-sufficient. By the late 1980s, leprosy was eradicated, but the rehabilitated patients who had been isolated for decades faced a changed outside world and families, along with severe aftereffects. Most of them chose to stay. Over 460 people were treated here. In the new century, their descendants expanded the village, cultivated land and farmed beside it. The lives of the grandchildren’s generation gradually improved, and they carried on their tenacious lives.
