Although it sounds incredible, it's true. For hundreds of years, the population of Shuiweiping Village has remained at about 80, and the population growth rate is zero. In other words, beyond this number, there will be a birth and a death; Take a natural state of balance. A villager's ten-year-old daughter died, and his wife gave birth to a son that year. His wife died on 1985, when his son married his wife.

Shuiweiping Village is a small village in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province. It is located in Zhongxiang Inn Town and Niangniang Village. It is surrounded by mountains and shaped like a barrel. The houses that people in the mountains live in are all built at the foot of the mountain, which is higher than the flat ground. There is also an interesting story about the origin of the name of Shuiweiping Village.

The local villagers said: "Shuiweiping used to be a lake. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, water has become a dry and flat place, but I don't know where it flows. But when it rains, the water in the surrounding mountains flows downwards, and this small flat land in the village is flooded. This is the origin of the name of this village. "

There are about 500 ginkgo trees on the hills around the village, four of which were planted thousands of years ago. The mountain people here mainly live on ginkgo, mushrooms, fungus, ganoderma lucidum, tea and Chinese herbal medicines. The oldest ginkgo tree has a history of more than 2000 years. Judging from the information of this small village, it can be said that at first glance, there is nothing strange about this small village. However, if you can produce an annual population table of Zhang Cun citizens, you will be surprised.

No matter what happens in this village, when new members join, others will leave. In recent years, if new members of the village move out, people are worried that they will have bad luck. Therefore, the population of this village remains unchanged.
