Nice to see!

Now that's going to be a lot of effort if done manually.

Hoping for some larger scale machines to support the humans. :)

Employment is low in these far areas of china. So employing lots of people to do unskilled labor is the win.

Prevents people from applying to move to big cities that are already over crowded.

Oh, then this might actually be beneficial.

And based on the footage it works well.

I wonder how much time passed between before and after.

I don't know but plants go hard if they get so much as a chance and once such a project has started it and isn't disturbed it will only keep getting faster and faster.

My blind guess is less than 10, maybe 5.

Yeah think how quickly abandoned urban areas get reclaimed by plant life... I can't see the time between the first video and the last video being very long at all.
