    Chickens ranged freely down the single mud lane of Wu Yuegou village, pecking at stray seeds and scattering with excited clucks when the dogs came barking.[…] In this small community in the plains of northern Henan province, and across the rest of China, farmers in remote villages have made a tradition of keeping a few chickens around the barnyard.[…] Even though the chickens in Li's village have not been vaccinated, officials in surrounding Yiyang County appear to have reacted to the call for action from Beijing. The Communist Party's tight organization at every level of the country's administration has long been an effective tool for handing down orders.
