Every spring, a remarkable journey unfolds from Heilongjiang in the Chinese mainland to the fertile Sanjiang Plain. Thousands of migrant farmers set out with determination to kickstart the rice planting season, earning over 10,000 yuan (roughly $1,388) in just 20 days. 🚜
On a special train, veteran farmers and young tech-savvy planters come together, blending age-old wisdom with fresh digital insights. As our journalist Xu Yi experienced firsthand, they share stories and strategies—all in the spirit of feeding the nation, one seedling at a time. 🌱
The Sanjiang Plain, renowned for its rich soils and scenic vistas, provides the perfect backdrop for this vibrant agricultural renaissance. Here, tradition meets innovation, inspiring not only bountiful harvests but also a vision for a sustainable future.
This annual journey highlights the power of collaboration and the resilience of communities that are redefining farming with both heart and technology.
