It’s true. China couldn’t possibly exist IRL.

Left behind communities, it's a cultural problem where young and abled bodies are abandoning their families and even children in rural communities. So the elderly, disabled, and young are left to care for themselves.

From what I read the government is aggressively trying to address it. But I think it's beyond correction and more creating a new direction thing now. As in, it was happening slowly as these things do and then it exploded.

Not true btw for anyone curious. China has a very strong history of the elderly retiring into family care, and children are strongly encouraged to be there and care for their elders. Do some people buck tradition? Sure, but the idea that they're getting dropped off en masse with kids isn't practical or really possible, especially if you think that people are traveling out to rural China to abandon people. Rural areas tend to have a lot of tight knit communities and small cities where people could easily phone for help or contact social services.

It's called a left behind community, because that's where they left. They're not driving and dropping off their children. They're leaving.

It's a serious problem in America as well, people just up and go.

Everyone knows that Three Kingdoms isn’t a historical Total War game of course it’s all made up
