ZHENGJIAZHUANG VILLAGE, China - Li Zengxia's fish are dead and his crops are dying. The stream that was once his lifeline is gone, diverted 155 miles to Beijing to create a picture-perfect green setting for the 2008 Summer Games.

Li and other villagers here are now nearly destitute, but he said he remains proud to have done his part to make the Olympics a success.

"This is a small thing for individuals," Li explained. "We should make contributions to the country. I understand -- we are a socialist family."
