In that case, it may have been that cars were not readily available in more secluded areas like this prison, hence the use of wagons. Or maybe the prison is just REALLY far out there, so it takes days regardless to go anywhere else. 🤷
Hello! I’ve gone and searched it up out of curiosity. Please feel free to correct me, especially for people more familiar with Chinese history / politics and car production.
The note of transport not being easy in the 1970’s is referencing conditions in China back then! Passenger cars (one we’re familiar with) were typically used as taxis rather than personal use like many are used to now.
And while cars were being developed even before the 70’s, there were plenty of models similar to a station wagon (or “box on wheels”) as part of the regulations put in place during the Cultural Revolution.
Newer cars would later be imported and produced (again) into China during the 2000’s, which hadn’t been permitted for sometime until Mao Zedong’s passing.
I think that it wasn’t very ordinary for prisons to have cars on standby so that if a prisoner were to escape they couldn’t just escape with it meanwhile with carts there is a possibility to be caught or cars weren’t world wide used yet.

They got a fact wrong. It says this is from 1970 but cars existed in 1970, nobody used carts pulled by donkeys.
