The rising temperature warms up the earth, once again filling the land with a renewed gusto. The familiar “Spring Cultivation” has just started in Guohuan Village of Pingtan.

Ploughing the fields is an important process of spring tillage, which is carefully handled by farmers.

Generations of Chinese farmers have always regarded the field as a battlefield. Here is the old general and his loyal battle companion.

In the earlier days, regular households used wooden ploughs. As time passes, the ploughs are eventually replaced by iron ploughs, but these keepsakes are still kept in the shed of their homes.

Although the current agricultural production is ushering in the era of the machinery but on Pingtan island, you can still see the scene of yellow cattles pulling ploughs as farmers working beside on the field. This becomes a landscape that never fades.
