Most difficult trip home from school?

It kind of blows away the “I had to to walk 5 miles up hill each way…” tall tales we dads like to tell. The pictures fill me with awe, gratitude, and a sense of obligation to make sure that my kids take advantage of the opportunities afforded them. These kids conquer amazing obstacles just to get to see their families and to be educated.

All this complicated by the fact that it is a marginalized minority in the first place we are talking about. I knoow little about that part of China - those of you that are more knowledgeable, would that be an ethnic or religious minority (Muslims?) or both, and would relocating into more accessible village mean having to live as a minority among Han Chinese?

The hilltop village is in a prefecture that is apparently populated by other members of the same ethnic minority (Yi). There is a description of the Yi ethnic group at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_people .
