Nowadays, “Huangling sun drying in autumn” has become a fixed custom. Every autumn harvest season, every household’s eaves are covered with brightly colored agricultural products such as corn and peppers. It forms a perfect autumn harvest picture with the Hui-style houses with white walls and black tiles. Called “the most beautiful Chinese symbol”.

Taken in Huangling Village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi.

The Huangling Scenic Area in Wuyuan is a typical mountain village, and the houses are scattered in fan-shaped ladders. Huangling is well-known for its “sun in autumn”. The “Tianjie” in the village is like a jade belt that connects classic ancient buildings, and there are many Hui-style shops, and a flowing abbreviated version of “The Riverside Picture on Qingming Festival”. Surrounded by thousands of ancient trees and tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields, the sea of ​​flowers in the four seasons displays stunning land art. The ancient village of Huangling was built on the hillside, surrounded by ancient trees. The back mountain is dominated by green pine. The shuikou forest at the foot of the village is dominated by the yew group. After the cable car is the shuikou forest into the village, most of the trees are fragrant maple and ancient camphor. Most of them are several hundred years old, and the longest is over a thousand years. These trees tell you how long the history of the village is. The well-preserved Hui-style ancient village pattern in Huangling has the original ancient village style and folk customs. The house structure of the village is special. The front door of the first floor of the farmhouse is facing the main road; the second floor of the household can reach higher places. On the other main road, the front door on the second floor is built up and down, which is connected with the horizontal wooden frame built outside the house to dry the agricultural products. This solves the contradiction between building villages on slopes and drying crops without flat areas. Bamboo drying is used for drying crops, which does not occupy space and is convenient for storage. Every year during the harvest season, the houses become a world of sunburn, and the colorful crops and black roofs overlap each other, which is spectacular. Autumn is the season of rich colors. Golden corn and hot red peppers fill the whole house. The aunts are really busy connecting the farming to make it easier to dry. These gorgeous colors make Huangling in autumn more abundant and “very charming.” As night fell, the lights were turned on in every household in the village. The lively small mountain village full of tourists during the day has returned to its original nature and suddenly became quiet. The owner of the two dried peppers under the eaves guessed that they would be busy eating, and forgot them here. Fortunately, the eaves can block rain and dew, so that they won’t get wet by night dew. After dinner, I walked away, and the streets full of tourists during the day became empty. The night here is so quiet, so quiet that I can only hear my own footsteps, so quiet that people forget the trivialities of the world, and it’s so quiet that people feel a little flustered… The originally rough bluestone slab became smooth and round after years of polishing. These exquisitely crafted and luxuriously decorated old houses, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, still stand here, and they have changed owners several times. The former owner here spent a lot of effort to build this luxurious mansion, but the precious wealth he left for future generations is not only material, but more spiritual. These buildings can survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Thinking about the buildings we have built now…well, I seem to be thinking too much.

It was midsummer, and in the fields beside the road in Huamao Village, contiguous sunflowers were blooming brightly, and General Secretary Xi Jinping got out of the car and stopped to admire them. According to local officials, with the construction of beautiful villages, Huamao Village with lush mountain flowers has become a wedding photography location, attracting many nearby citizens to take pictures here. There are flowers blooming on the country trails, and the houses on both sides of the road are clean and tidy. The general secretary said with feelings: “No wonder everyone came here and found homesickness here.” △On July 14, 2020, Huamao Village, Fengxiang Town, Bozhou District, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. What is homesickness? The general secretary once said affectionately that homesickness means that you will miss this place if you leave this place. In fact, Huamao Village, a village where people can “find homesickness”, was formerly called Huangmaotian, which means a poor and barren place. In the last century, poor and barren thatched fields were filled with thatched houses with earth walls. Villagers recalled: “The wind is as strong as the wind outside.” Poverty has forced waves of young people in the village to go out and wander around. With the implementation of the “precise poverty alleviation” strategy, the people of Huamao Village have given full play to their own advantages, focusing on building beautiful villages, developing modern agriculture, rural tourism, and inheriting innovative ceramic-making skills. In the past, about 2,000 people in Huamao Village, with more than 4,000 people, went out to work; by 2020, only about 300 villagers will still work outside the province. Villagers who go out to work have returned to their hometowns to start their own businesses. “Employing at home is good, but you can also take care of the old and the young” as everyone’s mantra. In 2020, Huamao Village received 1.02 million tourists, and the per capita disposable income of villagers reached 20,400 yuan. The incidence of poverty has dropped to zero in 2019. This beautiful old village, with its lush and leafy village name, is worthy of its name! △February 28, 2020, “Red House” Farmhouse in Huamao Village, Fengxiang Town, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. In the beautiful Huamao Village, small white buildings are scattered all over the place. Among them is a farmyard with four eye-catching red characters “Red House” written on the white exterior wall. This is the courtyard where the Red Army stayed in Huamao Village and the first farmhouse in the village. During his trip to Guizhou in 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the “Red House” farmhouse and chatted with the villagers in the courtyard. “What do you grow at home?” “How is the land management?” “How is the farmhouse?” … The general secretary asked meticulously and intimately. The villagers of Huamao Village and the general secretary sat and chatted together, and each of them had a happy smile on their faces. The general secretary said with satisfaction: “The support of the masses is an important criterion for our inspection work. Whether the policy formulated by the Party Central Committee is good or not depends on whether the villagers cry or laugh. If they laugh, it means the policy is good. If someone is crying, we will do it. It should be noted that what needs to be corrected must be corrected, and what needs to be improved must be improved.” The warm words of the general secretary came into the hearts of the villagers in Huamao Village. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Huamao Village has formulated a local “village revitalization” plan, focusing on the development of rural tourism, agricultural industry, and characteristic culture, and strive to make Huamao Village a paradise for prosperity, a rich pastoral and a homesick home. A beautiful village that bears the affection of military and civilian fish and water, has now become a place where people “will not want to go when they come”.

For a city, we can say that there are many ways to understand it. There are also some cities that we hardly need to understand. As long as we hear its name, we know it, such as Jingdezhen. Regarding Jingdezhen, I believe that there is no need for too many voices to repeat it. As a well-known “Porcelain Capital” at home and abroad, the thousand-year-old porcelain culture burned in ancient kilns here has long been ingrained in the hearts of the world. Because of this, we want to understand the porcelain culture of China for thousands of years, and we will also choose to go to Jingdezhen as soon as possible. In Jingdezhen City, we are most familiar with Jingdezhen Ceramic History Museum, Imperial Kiln Museum, Jingdezhen Museum and Ancient Kiln Folklore. Expo area and so on. In fact, for tourists, every time they travel, they will not be able to check in some scenic spots for some reasons, especially the length of the holiday and traffic problems. It is precisely because of this problem that some scenic spots that were originally worth checking in are helplessly forgotten. The same is true for a place in Jingdezhen. It was originally an inconspicuous small village. It was forgotten by many people because of the remoteness and the inconvenience of transportation. Even so, it has not been forgotten in history. During the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, many ancient kiln sites were left in its territory, and among its green mountains and rivers, it became a center of ancient porcelain making. It is the site of an ancient porcelain kiln in Raonan near Raonan Village, Yaoli Town, 55 kilometers northeast of Jingdezhen City. Among the many ancient villages in Jingdezhen, why was the porcelain made in Raonan Village in ancient times? First of all, let’s get to know Raonan Village. It is located between Bajiao Mountain and the valley close to Qishan Mountain. The ancient trees on the mountain are lush, the green bamboos are swaying, and the forests are hidden. The crystal clear Yao River passes through the village, and the ancient village is named after it. Because it is adjacent to southern Anhui, the Huizhou residences in its territory are built on the water and are scattered. It is precisely because of its unique geographical location and natural conditions that its territory contains abundant china clay resources, sufficient water resources and sufficient fuel resources. However, these are the three indispensable conditions for the ancients to make porcelain. , Raonan Village also just met the three conditions. Raonan Village’s ceramic production conditions are unique, and its territory is rich in kaolin, which provides abundant and high-quality raw materials for the production of the “dual formula” tire-making method in Jingdezhen’s porcelain industry. An important place for making porcelain in ancient times, it is also known as the “source of porcelain”. According to historical records, Yaoli first began to make porcelain in the late Southern Song Dynasty. After experiencing the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Ming Dynasty began to decline in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, spanning more than 300 years, and the prosperous scene of that year also left a rich cultural heritage for future generations. As the earliest ancient village to make porcelain in Yaoli, the ancient kiln site in Raonan Village has also become an important window for us to understand the porcelain culture of Jingdezhen. Today, we come to the ancient porcelain kiln site in Raonan Village. Not only many ancient kiln sites from the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties are preserved here, but there are also a large number of porcelain relics such as water stubble and ancient ceramic workshops, and they have been successfully selected in my country. Natural and cultural heritage. After entering the scenic spot, walk along the clear East River, and you can hear the sound of “bang, bang, bang…” far away. The closer you get, the louder the sound. When you get closer, you find that it is the sound of water pounding the glaze fruit. . This is also the most primitive process in the ancient craftsmen’s porcelain making process, which is to use the power of nature to produce glaze fruits with water. The quality of kaolin will be higher in this way, and the porcelain will also provide rich and high-quality porcelain. Raw materials. Continue to go forward and walk across a wooden boardwalk to the opposite bank of the Donghe River. Here is the area where the Long Kiln Ruins are distributed. The No. 1 Long Kiln site is a sloped dragon kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built on a mountain with a total length of 19.2 meters. It is divided into three parts: a fire chamber, a kiln bed and a smoke port. There is a round pavilion less than 50 meters ahead. Surrounded by tea trees, this is the site of No. 2 Long Kiln. According to records, its kiln started in the late Southern Song Dynasty and ended in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the oldest porcelain kilns found in Yaoli. A further 30 meters away is the last ancient kiln site here, which is the No. 3 Long kiln site built on the hillside terrain. Its total length is 48.2 meters, the slope is 19.5 degrees, and the kiln bed is 41.7 meters long. With a width of 2 meters, it is the oldest, most intact and longest dragon kiln discovered so far. Although Raonan Village, hidden among the green mountains and green waters, seems to be an inconspicuous small village, the quality of the glazed fruit produced here is excellent, and it is known as “kaolin, Yaoli glaze” and is called “porcelain”. Therefore, the ancient craftsmen in Raonan Village have made porcelain here since ancient times. Many ancient kiln sites have also been left in its territory, which has become an indispensable window for us to understand the thousand-year-old porcelain culture.

Every day, hundreds of vloggers and fans come to the village to film and take pictures with the emerging internet phenomenon. For streamers, Cheng is an abundant “view mine”. Many people even stationed themselves in the village to broadcast day and night. The village with a population of less than 1,500 people sometimes welcomes up to 1,000 streamers. Cheng is famous on Chinese social media for a bowl of noodles priced at 3 yuan. Live stream army Due to the large number of visitors, Cheng could not even go to the market as usual or leisurely go up the mountain to walk like before. There were too many people to find, he had to move the noodle shop to sell it right at the gate of his house. Cheng’s house is built on the mountain, with only one main room and two small rooms on the side. Near noon, the streamer and the audience crowded outside the gate with cameras and phones held. Cheng is tucked in the middle with a kneading table, the scene is like a Roman arena. “Noodle brother, say a few words”, “Look here and say hello to the audience”, the vlogger’s invitations kept ringing. In the crowd, live streamers do all sorts of things like dancing, singing, arguing to get the attention of their audience. Since becoming famous, Cheng has mostly just stood at the gate making noodles or rested in the house. His mother set up a beverage stand outside the gate to sell to guests who came to see. Facing the curious crowd at her door, she appeared calm. However, she still couldn’t understand why her ordinary second son was so attractive. The mother also said that she did not expect this age to be able to earn money thanks to the popularity of the child. The live stream army surrounded Cheng’s house day and night, following him while he was walking in the mountains. Thanks to the popularity of the “noodle brother”, people in the village also have more jobs. Dozens of food stalls were set up near his house. Chen’s village is a backward agricultural area, with only a small asphalt road leading to the village. Previously, this road did not have much traffic, sometimes there were cars passing by without stopping. To create a good image, Cheng’s village repaired the road through the night, in cooperation with the telecommunications company to install a high-speed network. Many villagers gave up farming, turned to selling food, opened inns, some imitated vloggers and went live in hopes of making money from it. From 10am to midnight, thousands of people come and go from the village. There are many people who drive cars for 3 hours from Xuzhou, Jiangsu come here just to eat a bowl of 3 yuan noodles. Some people from Inner Mongolia came here just to take pictures with Cheng. Some people bring their children here so that the children can be inspired by the “noodle brother”. Liaocheng, who lives 390 km from Cheng’s village, uses the word “pilgrimage” to describe his journey to meet the “noodle brother”. Liaocheng said that like many others, he sees Cheng as a star. Talking about her popularity, Cheng expressed it was a coincidence, like a dream. After talking for a few sentences, he scratched his head again and smiled shyly. Cheng is tired of having to receive many curious people to film and take pictures. Cheng’s life is turned upside down. Many people scrutinize, probe and disturb his family. Some people deliberately broke bricks in the wall to look into the yard, at night, there were people who took beer bottles and rotten vegetables and threw them into the house. Cheng looked much thinner, his skin dark and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him look older than his years. Since becoming famous, he has not taken a day off. During the past 2 days, he had a cold, his body was more emaciated. At 15:00, it was pouring rain, Cheng had finished the last dough and was about to stop selling. He looked tired, his eyes lost. He signaled to the spectators and quickly went inside, leaving his relatives to clean up the tools.

The price of land in the village is likely to reach 7 million rubles ($95,200) by the end of 2021 due to high demand when foreign tourism is limited. According to real estate data agency CIAN, the price of houses in the village is currently between 40 million and 900 million rubles (from about $544,400 to $12.2 million). Demand to buy houses mainly comes from successful businessmen in big cities. Prices here are above the income of an ordinary Russian. Guests gather at a cafe in the village of Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. Photo: Reuters. At the same time, rents have also increased as many people want to temporarily move away from the city to Krasnaya Polyana to work remotely. The local airport is about 40 minutes by car from the village and there is a hiking trail directly from the village. “I love climbing mountains and relaxing at night spots in the village,” said Kirill Ryzhonkov, a data analyst from Moscow. Krasnaya Polyana is a scenic village located in the mountains near the Black Sea. The village is surrounded by mountains, has good quality tap water, fresh air – these are hard to find in Moscow at this time, according to Reuters . The village has about 5,000 inhabitants, similar to many other places in Russia. The difference is that there are many good services with cafes, restaurants, pubs with fast Wifi speed. Some of the restaurants here were built before the Covid-19 epidemic to serve skiers at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Services decided to stay open all year round because residents no longer worried about guests. Guests from Moscow will bring Covid-19. A public workspace mainly serving IT workers and start-ups opened in October 2020. This office owner wishes to turn Krasnaya Polyana into Russia’s Silicon Valley in the future despite the obstacles of the epidemic. “People saw the potential of Krasnaya Polyana: in the same time zone as Moscow, only 2 hours away from Moscow, skiing in winter and sea in summer, as well as the infrastructure for the Olympics before.” Ilya Kreimer, manager of this office said.

As a result, the village becomes a golden place for city dwellers looking to find a peaceful and comfortable “shelter” to rest or work remotely. The demand to buy houses here from people from other regions has pushed housing prices in Krasnaya Polyana to double. Krasnaya Polyana village is located in the mountains near the Black Sea. (Photo: Reuters) The price of land in Russia is calculated in units of sotki – 100m2. Nikolai Rogachev, a shop owner in Krasnaya Polyana, said the price of a sotki of land here has increased from $27,200 to $68,000 during the pandemic. According to him, land prices will continue to increase sharply and may reach 95,200 USD/sotki by the end of 2021, especially when domestic tourism demand increases sharply because people are restricted from leaving the country. According to data from real estate company CIAN, homes in the village range in price from $544,000 to more than $12 million. The demand to buy is mainly from wealthy businessmen in big cities, because the price of houses in Krasnaya Polyana exceeds the financial ability of ordinary Russians. Rents have also increased as many see Krasnaya Polyana as an escape from the city. It has up to 20 cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, and high-speed internet. The village is only a 40-minute drive from the airport and the traffic is very open, convenient for short stays. “ People have noticed the advantages of the village: It is in the same time zone as Moscow, only 2 hours by flight from the capital, has a ski area in the winter, has a beach in the summer, and good infrastructure “, said Ilya Kreimer, an investor in the village of Krasnaya Polyana. Taking advantage of the potentials gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, Krasnaya Polyana is expected to become Russia’s new “Silicon valley” (high-tech commercial district).

Here, mussels are not only a specialty dish with a famous brand throughout the country, but thanks to that, people have a fairly stable income. Every day, thanks to mussels, a section of La River in Ben Hen village is as bustling as a miniature market. Present in Ben Hen village, witnessing the busy buying and selling scene, besides in the village, the stoves boiling mussels smoke and the aroma from boiled mussels spreads throughout the whole area. The smokey mussels boiling stoves in Ben Hen Boiling mussels in a hut, Nguyen Thi Hoa, from Ben Hen village, Truong Son commune, Duc Tho district (Ha Tinh), said: “I don’t know when this profession was formed, only know that generations People in Ben Hen village, when born and grow up, all follow each other in the profession of raking mussels and boiling mussels. All expenses in life, building houses, buying supplies, taking care of their children and grandchildren’s education, all depend on income from mussel farming. According to Ms. Hoa, in the past, mussel making was difficult, very hard, all day long, husband and wife, brothers and sisters were stuck in the river, just worried about making enough to eat, did not have enough money, because at that time the price of mussels was too cheap. About 10 years ago, when mussels became a clean food, a popular specialty, the price was high, so the mussel industry in Ben Hen is growing strongly and bringing a good source of income. determined for the people. Ben Hen is growing stronger and bringing a fairly stable source of income The reason is called the profession “going backward” because in the past, mussel making was not as modern as it is now, to catch mussels, people had to use a rake with a rectangular trough, 1-1.5m long handle to rake. The rake just went backwards and shook it to treat the mussels. Now, just sitting on a motorboat, plugging a rake into the sand and then running the engine along the river a few times, there are dozens of kilograms of mussels. Because the value of mussels is high and the mussels in Ben Hen have affirmed their brand, many traders have come to the place to buy in large quantities and then transport them everywhere for consumption. Thanks to that, mussel workers do not have to worry about output, raking as much as they can consume. The mussel fishing season lasts almost all year round, but the peak season and the most mussels are from January to June of the lunar calendar. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job “going backwards”. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job that “goes backward”, sunbathing with his back, his face in the water all day, and working hard at night picking and washing mussels. Although it is less difficult than before, the job of making mussels requires health, perseverance and hard work. After scraping, all mussels are used up, the shells are gathered and calcined into lime for construction, agricultural production or finely milled as food for chickens and ducks; mussel intestine used to process dishes; Mussels are used to make soup. Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan, a resident of Ben Hen told reporters about the process of making mussels. He said: “We men, who are healthy, go on a motorboat to rake mussels on the river, on average 2-3 people per boat. And women stay at home to soak mussels, boil mussels, treat mussels clean… Every day, work usually starts from 2-3 am until late afternoon”. Mussels enrich the whole village Sharing with reporters, Ms. Nguyen Thi Sen, who has been involved in this profession for a long time, said: “Mussels are “a blessing from heaven” given to these villagers, my whole family has been working as mussel rakes for 4 generations on the La River. I also ate mussels but grew up, so even though I worked hard, I still had to keep the traditional profession of the village, “said Ms. Sen. Currently, mussels here are considered a clean specialty Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a resident of Hen wharf confided: “In the past, every day my husband and I just needed to go along the La River to rake a few tons of mussels, but now the mussel production is increasingly depleted, so people have to overcome kilometers along the river Ngan Sau, Ngan Pho or upstream Ben Thuy bridge (Vinh City) to bring back mussels. According to Mr. Tuan, in the peak season, there are boats raking more than 1 ton of mussels/day, the remaining average is 300-600kg/boat. The average income from making mussels is about 500,000 – 1 million VND/house/day. Compared to other occupations, this is the profession that is bringing in the highest and most stable income, creating many jobs for people… Especially, mussels here are now considered a clean specialty with economic value. high so people are very secure to stick to the job.

Eat barbecue with the customer service girl.

As usual, I took a pack of first-class white peonies, went to the barbecue restaurant, asked the store for a large glass pot of boiling water, poured the peonies into it, and drank it to understand that it was greasy and relieved of anger.

She said that she wanted to get the silver needle, but the tea was gone.

The silver needle tea is gone?

Yes, the silver needles have sold so well this year.

“Why do so many people fall in love with Yinzhen all of a sudden?” Village girl Chen remembered the scene of people shaking their heads when they heard of Baihao Yinzhen three or four years ago. What happened in this?

The customer service girl ate the grilled fish and explained that the customers I met were all because they were not short of money. As soon as they heard that Baihao Silver Needle was the most expensive in white tea, they desperately bought it.

Village girl Chen Nao made up this picture, it was indeed a bit beautiful.

Buying tea only picks the expensive ones, this is the waywardness of the rich.

But buying Baihao silver needles blindly like this is obviously inappropriate.

“2”

The price of Baihao Silver Needle this year is extremely expensive.

So in fact, the tea shopkeepers didn’t have many silver needles in their hands-who has so much real money in the goods?

They are still in the tea factory.

Especially in the context of the reduction in white peony production this year and the increase in silver needle production, tea factories of all sizes have placed a large number of white peony silver needles in their hands.

Do not believe? You can go to the tea area for a walk. See if the tea factory owners sell Baihao Silver Needles as soon as they come up? Or although it is not ranked first, but after drinking a few teas, the main recommendation is still silver needles.

Moreover, the main focus is still the “function card.”

At the moment of the epidemic, it looks like an effect card, which is the best card to play, and it is unsatisfactory.

As if to mention the effect, everyone flocked to it, no matter what, they bought it with their eyes closed.

But in fact, the owner of the tea factory pushes the silver needles most of the time to solve the financial pressure-the tea green money has been paid to the tea farmers, and the tea shopkeepers think that the silver needles are expensive and refuse to purchase more, so many silver needles finished tea piles. In the warehouse, how will the survival of this factory be maintained before it becomes realised a day?

As a result, the individual tourists who went to Chashan to find tea this year became the first eye-catching leeks.

Tea friends who went to Chashan to find tea, did you hear the sound of sharpening your knives while you were sitting in the lobby drinking tea?

Actually, I really don’t recommend everyone Blindly Purchase Bai Hao Silver Needle.

Some tea friends said that silver needles are small in quantity and scarce, and there is a high room for appreciation in the future.

Is it really?

No one knows that the future has not yet come. However, the output of silver needles is no longer low, which is an established fact.

For this year’s silver needles, tea farmers have severely affected the output of Peony King in order to pick them. It is conceivable that the price of the green tea of ​​silver needles in the next two, three, and four years will continue to rise as fast as this year. Then, in the future, the output of Peony King will continue to be affected.

Even, not only the output of Peony King, but also the output of first-class white peony will be affected.

So, at the time point of the “future” mentioned by tea friends, will the output of Baihao Silver Needle be “less”? of course not.

At that time, with the promotion of the lovely tea farmers who only love silver needles, the output of silver needles on the market must be higher than that of Peony King.

At that time, Peony King will be a scarce resource.

Even the first-class white peony will become a hot commodity because of the reduced output of the silver needles.

But now, the Baihao Silver Needle, which is estimated to be “low-yield”, will no longer be scarce because of the surge in output.

Then, can its appreciation space still occupy the high position of all white teas as people currently imagine?

Not anymore.

In addition, regarding the increase in the price of silver needles and the fact that the price of old silver needles will show a huge rate of return in the future, village girl Chen also held a wait-and-see attitude.

There are rumors that the price of silver needle tea greens soared this year, reaching the highest point in a decade, because of market misunderstandings.

According to people familiar with the matter, at the end of last year, big capital entered the white tea industry.

These capitals are newly entered. In the years before they entered, high-quality white tea, real old white tea, good tea-producing areas, and good tea mountain resources have been listed by those who entered the white tea industry in the early years.

For example, the top ten municipal-level leading enterprises in Fuding, and those in the industry who were optimistic about white tea earlier, such as the village girl Chen, carve up the white tea of ​​the early years-when they were still new white tea, of course, they have now become genuine products at a fair price. Old white tea-the early bird catches the worm.

In the Haocha Mountain in Fuding, there is a leading enterprise in each mountain that has “occupied the mountain as the king” and has included all the good tea resources in one hand.

People in the industry, such as village girl Chen, did not have the strength to wave a big hand, pointing to a certain mountain top and saying, “This mountain is contracted by me”, but they also planted a few ecological tea gardens and signed a few fixed tea greens. Supply households. (Actually, I am an authentic village girl. “The peasant woman has a little field in the spring” is my ideal)

Although the capital that has only entered now, although strong and wealthy, it has missed the opportunity-at least the root of Zhengmiaohong’s old white tea is not available for first-hand supply-second-hand supply and third-hand supply, even if it can be obtained, it may not necessarily Fidelity; even if it is fidelity, the price is not low.

Therefore, the capitals, with pride and arrogance, began to collect new white tea.

At the end of last year, the silver needles on the market in Fuding were purchased on a large scale. And, the price is surprisingly high.

This good news spread like wildfire. Tea farmers all know this “myth” about the sale of silver needles-the price of Baihao Silver Needle is rising sharply, and the big boss is buying Baihao Silver Needle!

The news soon spread all over the streets and alleys, behind the tea garden house.

Tea farmers are very excited, and silver needles are so easy to sell. So I made the ambition: next year, we will all pick more silver needles!

What the simple and simple tea farmers don’t know is, what if the capital does not come to buy Silver Needle this year? What if this year, capital suspects that the price of silver needles has risen too high and suppresses silver needles?

Isn’t it dangerous to pin the hopes of the whole family in the same basket?

How terrible is it to regard the temporary rise of a certain capital as a normal state that will continue over the years?

Jia Baoyu stared at Xie Baochai’s snow-white arm in a daze. It wasn’t that she hated Daiyu and wanted to marry her, it was just accidental hormones.

If Baochai believes that Baoyu is in love with her and is willing to conclude the Qin and Jin Dynasties with her forever, then she is really stupid.

And Second Sister You was so stupid, so stupid that she would believe Jia Lian’s words of a prodigal son, and thus took the lives of herself and the child in her belly.

Both history and novels tell us that a momentary fever does not last long.

And countless business cases also tell us that a business opportunity that happens accidentally does not necessarily become the norm.

Contrary to the practice of other industries, in the initial stage of capital entry, subsidies, price cuts, and price wars are used to win customers. When the competitor is beaten back, beaten down, and only his own family is left, the market becomes his family.

At that time, the subsidy will be gone, the price advantage will be gone, and the price will even increase in disguise-isn’t the food ordering software we use now a bloody case?

With so many lessons learned from the past, when looking at the price increase of Baihao Silver Needle, the ranking judges should be more rational.

Wait and see more, don’t be so impulsive, don’t be so easily deceived.

After three to five years, this capital has come year after year, and the state of collecting tea at a high price has been maintained year after year. That just shows that Iraq really loves white tea, is really optimistic about the white tea industry, and really wants to support white tea.

At that time, everyone will go deep into the white tea with it, buy a large amount of silver needles, and look forward to the price increase, which is the right way.

But now, obviously not in time.

《6》

The reason for buying silver needles in large quantities can be that you like to drink it; it can be that you want to save some old tea to drink for a few years; it can be that you want to give it to friends to share, but don’t just try to increase its price.

This reason is too profitable and unreliable.

You don’t always get melons when you grow melons, you may also get beans.

The laws of nature are what you think, but it doesn’t come. And you don’t think about it anymore, it might come.

Regarding the silver needle, don’t let it be too heavy.

We only need to figure out its fragrance, its mellow soup feel, and its warmth like jade.

A wave of his sleeves will not take away a cloud.

This is the most up-to-date attitude towards the top white tea like Silver Needle.

Xiao Chen Tea Affairs Village Girl Chen, columnist, chief writer of the original innovative media “Xiao Chen Tea Affairs” in the tea industry, has published the white tea monograph “White Tea Tasting Notes”, and has written more than 4,000 original articles from 2016 to 2020.

This is the former Hongsha Village. The “farm house” is naturally easy to understand, so where does Huaxiang start? That is because the Sansheng Township where it is located is originally famous for its flowers, and is known as the “Sansheng Flower Township”. Although the “Sansheng Township” has been upgraded to the “Sansheng Street”, the name of the flower township is still retained. Come down. Not only that, but the “First Sichuan Flower Expo” was successfully held here in 2003. The area of ​​3000 mu is surrounded by various flowers, which can be called a sea of ​​flowers. Although there are thousands of acres of flowers, they are not arranged randomly, but are divided into six major flower areas, such as the Sichuan Basin scenic area dominated by Podocarpus and Begonia; poinsettia, cockscomb, cyclamen, and pineapple are the main areas. The main boutique potted flower area; the seedling planting area dominated by ginkgo, crape myrtle, camphor, and metasequoia; the fresh cut flower area dominated by lilies, gladiolus, and chrysanthemums, etc., so that visitors who buy flowers can pinpoint a certain variety Location of flowers. Not only that, these sunrooms for storing plants are also very beautiful, no less than any Internet celebrity check-in place. Walking on the trail outside the Huaxiang farmhouse, you can also see the tall buildings being built in the distance. This is Greenland·Shu Peak 468. When you hear the name of Shu Peak, you can think of the tribute, the king of Shushan. Gashan, this snow-capped mountain is more than 7,000 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Sichuan. Although this tall building cannot reach such a height, after its completion, the main tower with a height of 468 meters will also dominate the west and become the tallest building in the west. Walking into Hongsha Village, you can find that this place has long been not in the form of a farmhouse in the past, but has become “tall”. Every household is different. It can be said that it is a scene of a household, which complements the thousands of acres of flowers here. In addition to the unique western Sichuan residential style, a lot of Internet celebrities have also been born, such as this snow-white building with trees outside. Is it dazzling that it feels like being in Sanya? I couldn’t help but went in for a visit. It seems to be a restaurant. The white walls and artistic shapes are indeed very popular. There is also a European-style inner courtyard. Therefore, in addition to the people who dine, there are other Few people made a special trip to check in, and some even took wedding photos inside. Although it looked good, we went to eat hot pot next to it, and did not dine here. A glance at the price list outside seemed to cost less than 200 per person. The rural residences in Huaxiang have not been fully completed. Many places are still under construction along the way. In the past, the development here mainly relied on rural residences and the government. Among them, the government subsidies for the transformation of rural households were as high as 60%. Each household has a different design. In addition, the sewage pipe network was connected to each household, and sanitation facilities were added. The living environment has been significantly improved. After it has begun to take shape, it has attracted more than 30 million yuan of private investment. Therefore, it is still under construction, such as this An abstract building like a container, whether it will become a restaurant or a coffee shop in the future is worth the expectation. Many people may have questions. What if there are not so many flowers here after spring? In fact, the Huaxiang Rural Residential Association will carry out various seasonal activities according to the changing seasons, such as “Huaxiang Outing Kite Festival”, “Niaoyuhuaxiang Painting and Calligraphy”, “Photographic Exhibition”, “Song Flower Poetry Recitation”, “National Fitness Path Even if there are no events, no tickets are needed for such beautiful places. Isn’t it enough to take photos and check in?

The picture of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is extremely beautiful. In the first shot of the movie, Li Mubai walks by the half-crescent pond, surrounded by Huizhou-style houses with white walls and tiles. The momentum is extraordinary and exquisite, elegant and elegant. The painting does not lose the color of the fireworks in the world-it is such a freeze frame that makes the village chief Hong in the hearts of many people. In Hongcun, there are different beauties throughout the year. When I came to Hongcun in spring, I saw a beautiful spring scenery. The cold of a season melted in the spring breeze and the spring water was rippling. The whole village bloomed, spread, and became noisy in the water. People always compare Hongcun to “people in the peach blossom field” and “the countryside in Chinese paintings.” However, if you look deeply, what really makes an ancient village exudes charm may not only be its beautiful appearance, deep and heavy history, and those who have lived in it for generations. People in China, even the old house where the emotions and memories of their ancestors are stored, may be the most moving firework, making a village not just a protected building, but full of vitality and vitality. Walking into Hongcun, the most eye-catching thing is this “painted bridge”. It may be the most photographed scenic spot in Hongcun. It is built with blue stones, and the bridges and railings of the bridge have been mottled after wind and rain, and they are slightly curved. The bridge hole outlines a touch of ancient meaning, and the green face is covered with traces of time. The cyan lake is very vibrant, and the houses built along the water are surrounded by mountains and grow quietly at the foot of the mountains. They have a special Chinese taste, which seems to draw people back to the old time and make people fascinated. In a huge village, densely arranged houses with blue tiles and white walls, even if you only overlook it from a distance, you can feel the breath of people living in it. Spring blows through the village, flowers are blooming, vegetation sprouts, and the whole village is full of life. The white walls and black tiles outlined by black lines are the calm and solemn of the Huizhou style. The style of the folk houses is in line with the Chinese aesthetics, and the elegant colors naturally have its flavor. This calmness is more elegant in the vibrant spring, always reminding people of the faint rain and delicate wind. In the center of Hongcun is the moon marsh, which is also the central area where tourists gather. Looking over the moon marsh, a pool of clear water is like a piece of agate dotted in the village. Water is the symbol of spring. When the water turns green, spring wakes up. The entire structure of Hongcun is like the shape of a cow, with horns, cow head, cow tongue, cow body, cow stomach, cow intestines, and cow feet. Looking down from a high place, the clear water is flowing, the water is active, and the ancient village is particularly watery and nourished. The story and feelings of Hongcun are engraved on this tall and short building. The pink wall and the Daiwa horse head wall are the most classic scenes of Huizhou residences. The black dots are attached to the large blank space, just like a little ink on rice paper, and the meaning of ink emerges spontaneously. This is also the most beautiful ink painting scroll in China. A spring flower with a vibrant beauty blooms quietly in front of the primitive wooden windows, but it makes people smell the prosperous breath of spring, reminds of a certain flower-like woman, her innocent and lively seems to be a branch, Connecting the spring and the village. Known as the “Country in Chinese Painting”, Hongcun really deserves its reputation. Every season and every moment here has a different scene. However, if spring comes, you will be lucky enough to see its most beautiful appearance. (You are welcome to like and leave a message in the comment area.

The back of the house leans against the solid mountain. The front of the house overlooks a deep stone alley leading to a green field. Not fussy but natural, each house is like a villa. The houses with wooden columns, stone walls with three compartments and two wings with yin and yang tile roofs are hidden in lush green gardens… like keeping the pure Vietnamese architecture, bold regional identity of the ancient Quang people. The spacious and airy brick yard, the soaring rows of areca trees embracing the beautiful deep stone walkways are the noticeable features of the old houses here. Rows of tea with the height of a person’s head are typical of the ancient village. The mossy fences, the grass growing green eyes. In the middle of the early summer afternoon, walking under the stone fences, above are the cedar trees, shady trees, people’s hearts are softened. Not only making fences, the stone walls are also responsible for preventing sudden landslides, protecting houses located on the mountainside, or small fields, vegetable gardens of all kinds located at the foot of the mountain. The wells are always clear and surrounded by stone walls, creating extremely poetic grounds. The village road winding along the fields, following the foot of the mountain is also paved with smooth stone slabs following the footsteps of people. On both sides of the path, rows of green areca trees stretch their leaves, blossoming with white dotted flower buds, falling gently on the village road, the scene is really peaceful. The path in the village is paved with stone, the fence is made of stone. Only a few hundred meters from the provincial road, outside is the hustle and bustle, but here the scenery is quiet, strangely peaceful.

The building is formed from a frame of columns and floors that have been spontaneously constructed since before architect G+architects participated in the design. The job of the G+architects architect is to expand a part of the floor to meet the function, strengthen the structure, connect the existing and unchanged things to a certain order and modulus. The main direction of the house is Southeast, this is the direction with a beautiful view, behind the West, the sun is quite strong in the afternoon. Therefore, the design team decided to use a tile shell covering the house from the wall to the roof, the hollow part and the glass wall focus all on the front. The work is formed from a frame of columns and floors that have been constructed spontaneously before. With a favorable location located under a small valley, the work can be observed from afar. The red block of tile appears as a prominent view in the middle of the valley. The tile layer covered from the wall to the roof shortens the impact of the westward sunlight into the house. The porch (veranda) is stretched like country houses. The slope of the tile roof allows to push the space of the dining room and kitchen area to become more outstanding and open. The dining room and kitchen are crowded places. Red tiles cover Xuan Anh’s house. With the advantage of a house in the valley overlooking the mountains and hills, the architect designed all glass walls in the front. The porch is also extended like country houses. In this space, the family can sit and sip a cup of tea, catching the sunrise in the morning. The living room, kitchen and dining room are seamlessly connected. The glass facade allows the house to receive a sufficient amount of natural light. The house uses completely glass walls, family members can easily see the nature outside. In addition, homeowners also save energy when the house uses a lot of glass. Architects G+architects chose the form of hiding the attic floor including the guest bedroom and the warehouse due to the relatively low density of use. The owner’s bedroom is separate, has a nice view of the garden and a large private porch and is located in the shade of the roof.

The wharf with green space is a favorite destination for the elderly and young people. Ms. H Ven Ayun, from Triă village, Ea Tul commune, Cu Mgar district, said that the Ede people have always chosen a place to set up their village where they must have a clean water source, the water source flows day and night, year round and never runs out. Water is the source of life, bringing people good crops, warmth; The forest is a sacred place to protect the village. In order to have a clean and clear water source, people in the village work together to preserve the trees in the watershed; Because people understand that when the forest is lost, the water dries up, and every big tree that is cut down is an underground water source. Losing the forest, losing the water wharf, the village will no longer exist. Therefore, the forest surrounding the wharf will be protected intact by the people. Ms. H Ven Ayun said, every week, people will clean themselves, clean the water wharf very clean: “The water wharf of the Ede people in the past was self-flowing from the source, where there are many old trees and very good water. When it rains, the rainwater will wash away dirt, rotten leaves and garbage, and people will clean it regularly or monthly to keep the water source clean.” Today, although each house has well water and tap water to use, many Ede people still keep the habit of 2 mornings and afternoons to go to the wharf to bring water back to their activities. When the water is filled, people meet, ask about each other, and chat happily. If in the past, the roads leading from the village to the wharf were trails and steep slopes, today, in many villages, the road to the wharf has been concreted and built into steps to prevent slipping. In some places, both the wall and water pipes are concreted, using metal pipes as gutters. Today, many wharfs have been repaired and restored with concrete and cement. According to Ms. H Djuon Niê, in Phuong village, Ea Tul commune, Cu Mgar district, this approach helps to make the wharfs cleaner. When the road is convenient, more and more people come to the wharf, including tourists from far away: “Since knowing how to build with concrete and cement, the water source is clean and free of dirty garbage. We hope to keep the old trees at the wharf intact; trees must be protected, not cut down. Only trees can retain water; with moisture, water will remain and not run dry. there’s always water flowing over the years”. Along with urbanization, many wharves in Ede villages gradually disappeared or were abandoned. The reason is that the old trees were cut down, the watershed forest area was narrowed, drying out the groundwater, leaving the wharf without water, or the water was no longer clean. Facing this situation, the authorities of some localities in Dak Lak have solutions to recover the parts around the wharf to expand the watershed forest area, invest and restore the water wharves for the community. As in Dat Hieu ward, Buon Ho town, currently, the watershed forest area in Kli A village is only about 1,000 m2. According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dat Hieu ward, the locality is speeding up progress to recover 0.8 hectares of land around the Kli A wharf area: “The locality is very interested in protecting the wharf. water as well as environmental protection, directing aggressively in the planning of this wharf, putting that area into planning for management.For the people in this village, they are also very conscious in the process. The process of protecting the environment here and protecting the wharf; they also strictly implement it, do not discharge waste into the environment during their living. The trees in the wharf area they also protect, preserve, and do not cut down. “. In many places, trails down to the waterfront have been replaced by concrete roads. In Cu Mgar district, since 2011, Doan Cu Mgar district has organized to repair and restore a number of water wharfs by cleaning the environment, clearing the flow, raising awareness about using and protecting resources. water and protect watershed forests. The local cultural sector also implements conservation activities of traditional culture, including the wharf and wharf worshiping ceremonies. Mr. Y Mang, Deputy Head of the Culture and Information Department of CuM’gar District, Dak Lak Province said: “In the past time, the Culture and Information Department has advised the District People’s Committee to repair and upgrade the water wharf for the district. In which, trees have been planted and a delegation has been established to zoning areas to protect and preserve the water wharves of the people. In addition, the cultural life, especially the culture of the people, must be preserved, and the wharf-worshipping ritual must be maintained. water, want the culture to be preserved and moreover that the water is clean”. From the sense of protecting the water wharf – the source of life, the Ede people in Dak Lak have a deeper sense of protecting the environment, protecting the watershed forests to preserve the village’s natural water flow. As a result, the wharfs of the Ede people are still maintained, which is a unique culture preserved for future generations.

There are more job opportunities in your hometown. Who would want to leave their hometown to earn the same amount of money? Many old villagers choose to return to their hometowns to start a business together. Now the number of original villagers in the village has risen to more than 400, and there are more than 600 new and old villagers in Kongxin Village. The number of tourists in 2019 and 2020 has reached 200,000. Seeing that the old house with only broken walls is reborn again, the charm is still there, the beautiful temperament, and the right commercial proportion, walking in the village, seeing the future it hopes, I am really relieved a lot. However, the surrounding villagers also practiced the old saying that it is clear and clear but not demon. No matter how beautiful the store is, it can’t make them clean, neat, and more beautiful. It is still the kind of small workshop. My aesthetics for these people is really desperate. These stores are mainly distributed on the periphery, and some modern buildings have been built, such as square buildings and houses with not tile roofs, which greatly damage the overall landscape. These are the shortcomings and pains I have seen. If the village committee can manage it, such as restricting the style and material of the new building, restricting the height and decoration, and checking the sanitation… it will be better than it is now. I walked every small road in the village and entered every small shop that I could enter. From the noon sun to the starry sky, because of the epidemic, the number of tourists this year was sparse, but the annoying Fujian Xiaoer bite. I had 14 mouths, so I made a voluntary donation of blood. It is not a mosquito, but it is better than the most powerful flower mosquito. One-tenth of a second of contact will leave a mark that can not be eliminated for a few months, and it will be extremely itchy. Autumn is the season when persimmons ripen. I still remember living in a bungalow when I was a child. There was a magical tree planted in the neighbor’s yard in the west yard of my house, half of which was persimmon and half of black dates. In autumn, the orange-yellow big persimmons hang heavily on the branches. Every fall, I start to eat squeaky persimmon tongues. Since I was a child, I have a bad mouth, which is especially suitable for “old ladies slumping”. Sometimes it is astringent, sometimes it is particularly enjoyable, and the persimmons are put in the freezer to freeze them, or even put them in cold water in the next summer. This verb is called “pull”. The shell of the pulled out persimmon is covered with ice. For many years, I thought it was a persimmon peeled off the shell, like the sweat from a cold bottle at room temperature. I didn’t know it was until many years later… There are many persimmon trees in Longtan. There are whole branches of persimmons hanging obliquely by the small river. With the rammed earth wall as the background and the green leaves as the foil, the dark blue tiles look particularly dazzling in the evening. Across the bank, an older painter is painting this scene. There is no sunset on a cloudy day, so the blue light lasts longer. In the past, in autumn, the villagers would make persimmons that they couldn’t eat. One thousand catties was enough. Later, as the number of tourists increased, dried persimmons became a popular commodity. The villagers were overjoyed, but they did not expect that their agricultural products could be sold in this way. Nowadays, persimmons in the whole village can weigh more than 30,000 catties in one season. The same agricultural and sideline products include Pingnan’s famous red and yellow wine, which is brewed by almost every household in Longtan Village. Before the revival of the village, due to traffic congestion, even the best wine could only be sold for five or six yuan per catty, which is an average of only one jar per household per year. By 2017, with the arrival of the cultural and creative industry, tourists and new villagers, popularity and sales have become available, and wine is selling better and better. The price can triple or quadruple, and the average household production is 50 times. Large families can even reach hundreds of altars. The most popular agricultural and sideline products are dried bamboo shoots. I wandered around the village, and I was also looking for a place for dinner. I found a western restaurant called Pusu, which eats pizza. I ate ice cream in the stream next to the small stone bridge. I was interested in the environment and cost-effectiveness. It was much higher than the Tanshe opposite the hotel Jingxuan where we lived. Set the dinner location there. There are a circle of stalls in the main square of the village. They are left over from the hand-made market that ended a while ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch up. Some houses were still being renovated. In the evening, a couple took their children and caught them by the river. Fish; there is a girl playing guitar by the river… Is this what Lijiang looked like 20 years ago? I walked into this cafe called Suixi, which can also be called a bookstore or a tea room. The style, layout, architectural style, landscape…It is outstanding in Longtanli Village. I leaned my head and looked at it embarrassingly. I wanted to go in and take a photo. A man who was good at Mandarin told me that I could come in and watch it casually. It looks like the boss, I am also very touched by the open arms. The two-story building is located by the small river. The exquisite small tables and chairs are also covered with dining flags. It is simple and elegant. The windows are quiet and tranquil. The open space downstairs is a small open-air garden with Suixi’s own, with a pastoral scenery. A 28-year-old car that was common in childhood has become a rarity now. It was painted white just as I was circling around. I became the last visitor to see its past life. Half a year later, I started to work on this travel blog, and I started to inquire about the information in Longtan, learned about Suixi’s story, and also respected the man who generously invited strange tourists to browse freely that day-Zeng Wei, a “new villager” from Jiangxi , Opened the first cultural and creative shop in the village. In 2017, he came to Longtan for the first time and fell in love with it at first sight. In December of the same year, he rented this old house of 260 square meters with a history of more than 100 years and spent 20 Ten thousand yuan was transformed into a “Suixi Bookstore”, which provided free space and books to let the culture flow in a long time and moisten things silently. “Suixi Bookstore” then became the public library in the village, and the villagers would come to read books when they were free. Since I also like painting, ancient utensils and tea, tea ceremony, calligraphy and painting, living area and back garden appeared in the bookstore. This cultural exchange complex has received more than 50,000 people since its opening. On the opposite side of Suixi, there is a large courtyard house. It is an exhibition of Shen Minghui’s paintings. The author is a dwarf patient who is only 1.16 meters high. It is said that he used to play a clown in a shopping mall and set up a street stall to make a living. He followed teacher Lin Zhenglu for less than two. In 1999, he had his own studio in Shuangxi. Now, not only can he make a living selling paintings, professional art institutions have organized solo exhibitions for him, and his works have also been selected for the 2017 Lyon Biennale in France. When I went, he was live broadcasting on his mobile phone, explaining his work attentively. At the end of the Longtan Village, there is the Huicun Bridge reconstructed during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the latest stone-arched wooden house covered bridge in Pingnan County when it was completed. It is called the “last-generation covered bridge”; Longtan Village is currently the only place where Siping opera remains. Every year on the first day of the sixth day of the lunar calendar, in order to commemorate the ascension of the dragon to the sky, the Siping opera will be performed for three days and three nights… My friend and I enjoyed the night in Longtan and had a satisfying meal in Xijian. After reminiscing about this short trip, there were disappointments and hopes. What we saw was more gratification and moving. Touched by the charity organization and rescue effect of Teachers Cheng Meixin and Lin Zhenglu, I am pleased with the virtuous cycle of rescue mode. Hadi, Qianfenxi Village, and Longtanli Village are just a microcosm of the ancient villages of Pingnan, and they are also the future of more than 150 old villages in Pingnan that tend to be hollow.

Sunken Roman statue at Baiae, Italy As humans spread across continents and populations exploded, trade between civilizations became more frequent. Coastal settlements allowed larger ships to come and go, increasing trade and boosting the local economy, with many port towns being built as a way to access rare goods and wealth. have. But the riverbank is not always a safe place to settle down. Saeftinghe Swamp, Netherlands A swamp in the Netherlands known as the Sinking Lands of Saeftinghe, the area was once a prosperous village. In the 13th century, humans drained the swamp so that they could build on the fertile land; they also built dykes around the reclaimed land to protect it from flooding. Much of the land around Saeftinghe was lost in the flood of 1570. Dutch soldiers fighting in the war for independence from the Spaniards were forced to destroy the last dyke barrier. while defending Antwerp, allowing Scheldt’s waters to take over the town. However, a local legend tells a slightly different story, blaming the flood of 1570 on the rampage of a mermaid held captive by the townspeople. Today, the settlement is buried under layers of sand and clay, although bricks have been recovered that may have belonged to a monastery due to the floods. Caribbean Pirate Paradise The Caribbean pirate’s paradise of Port Royal, Jamaica was known as “the worst city on Earth”, before a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami pushed two-thirds of the town under waves. The violent shaking liquefied the sand beneath about 2,000 brick buildings, which were displaced and appeared to flow into the sea. Of the town’s estimated 6,500 inhabitants at the time, 2,000 are believed to have perished in the earthquake and tsunami. More than 3,000 people died from injury and disease afterward, according to UNESCO. Salt beach in Germany This place was once a busy trading port. Rungholt’s exact location – long regarded as a legend – remains unclear, although artifacts and evidence of tillage found in the Wadden Sea suggest its existence. a trading port. The flood of Saint Marcellus, also known as the “Great Drowning of Men”, is believed to be the culprit behind the town’s disappearance. High tides caused by extratropical cyclones ravaged the coasts of northern Germany and Denmark, killing thousands. Atlit Yam, Israel The oldest settlement ever discovered in the Mediterranean with interesting rock structures such as Scotland’s Stonehenge. This Neolithic village lies 8 to 12 meters deep under the Mediterranean Sea, hidden for more than 8,000 years until marine archaeologist Ehud Galili discovered it while surveying sand for shipwrecks in 2014. 1984. It is now considered one of the oldest underwater settlements ever discovered. Careful excavations have uncovered rectangular houses with fireplaces and the remains of a dry rock well. One of the most interesting finds is a megalithic structure – similar to Scotland’s Stonehenge – built around a stream, made of seven giant stones weighing around 600 kg each. Burial sites and human remains have also been excavated. One study suggested that a tsunami may have caused the settlement to be abandoned. Baiae, Italy Baiae was once a spa town in Rome that was famous for its debauchery. Underground pressure in the area causes the land to rise and fall, and much of its ancient history is now below sea level. Notably, the underwater remains of the Pisonian Mansion and the statue of Nymphaeum decorated by Emperor Claudius were sunk deep into the water. In addition, several prominent Romans visited the resort town during its heyday, including Julius Caesar, emperors Hadrian and Septimius Severus, generals Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great) and Gaius Marius and politician Lucius Licinius Lucullus. Underwater city for over 3,000 years in Greece Hy The city of Pavlopetri, Greece has been submerged for more than 3,000 years. The ruins of Pavlopetri were discovered in 1967, and analyzes of building materials and pottery shards show them to be about 5,000 years old. The town remained above ground for 2,000 years before it could be sunk by earthquakes. The layout of the town has been perfectly preserved 4 meters under the waves, with streets, buildings and tombs eroded over time but still visible. At least 15 buildings have been identified. Thonis-Heracleion, Egypt A statue of a Nile god found underwater is important evidence of the area’s existence. Located northwest of Alexandria on the Nile Delta, Thonis-Heracleion was a famous trading port before earthquakes weakened the land and dragged it under salt water. The area is full of artifacts, but the colossal 6-ton statue of the Nile god Hapi is one of the most important finds among the ruins.

Besides being the tourist attraction of Sierra Leone, the turquoise lagoon with palm trees here is also a seasonal breeding ground for fish and turtles. In May, however, the Sierra Leone government announced plans to build a fishing port and processing complex in the village. The project has raised concerns about its devastating effects on the local landscape, threatening animal species and polluting the environment. AFP . Black Johnson is the proposed site for the construction of an industrial harbor in Sierra Leone. Photo: Handout. Consequences of China’s “investment” Sierra Leone’s Fisheries Ministry said China is funding a $55 million project to build a fishing port to create jobs and support the local fishing industry in the poor country. But, instead of winning praise, Beijing’s actions are causing controversy in the African country. Mr. Tommy Gbandewa, also known as Tito, the owner of the eco-lodge, is leading the opposition to the plan to build on green plots. “If the Chinese come here, the environment will stink. The beaches will stink,” he said. “The water here will be dirty because of engine oil and a lot of noise, fishing boats will be everywhere.” This controversy is at the heart of a longstanding source of tension in Sierra Leone, between development advocates and conservationists on the other. Opposition is heightened as the government is looking to promote ecotourism to boost its economy. Eco-lodge owner Tommy Gbandewa is leading the charge against a Chinese-funded harbor construction plan. Photo: AFP. Sierra Leone is one of the world’s poorest countries and is still recovering from a civil war that claimed the lives of about 120,000 people nearly two decades ago. Although there are rich fishing grounds, the exploitation of fishery resources in this country is still limited. Not only that, according to Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Fisheries, in May, there were about 140 foreign fishing boats catching the country’s fish. These ship owners then processed and sold Sierra Leone’s seafood abroad “with little or no benefit to Sierra Leone”. Even so, despite receiving Beijing’s funding to build a modern fishing pier, the ambiguity in the implementation plan made locals wary. Some believe that the Chinese investors intend to build the fishmeal factory, although the government of Sierra Leone has denied the allegation with AFP . In recent times, a series of fishmeal factories have mushroomed along the West African coast. These factories harvest large quantities of seafood and often release foul-smelling waste, polluting water sources, wreaking havoc on the local environment and hindering tourism development. The fishmeal factory emits toxic waste that is a threat to local communities in Sierra Leone. Photo: Handout. Fishermen’s association spokesman Wudie Bakie Koroma said he would support the harbor construction if taken seriously. “If the fishmeal production (factory) is included in the project, we will firmly oppose it,” he stressed. Against this backdrop, the Chinese diplomat in the capital Freetown Du Zijun announced that the new Chinese-invested project is to build a harbor, not a “fishmeal factory”. “The accusations of not caring about protecting the environment and destroying the ecological environment are purely sensational hypothetical information,” he added. “We have a right to the land” Immediately after the news that the government signed a $ 55 million agreement with Beijing for China to build a project on 100 hectares of exposed sea and forest, locals have repeatedly petitioned to reverse the government’s decision. Mr. Tito said discontent was widespread. Government officials arrived with armed men to survey the construction site. “But I’m Sierra Leone and I have a right to the land,” Mr Tito said. In the wake of the controversy, Fisheries Minister Emma Kowa Jalloh, on a recent visit to the Black Johnson village, promised landowners would be compensated. According to the minister, the Chinese government will provide “subsidy” to build the project, while the government of Sierra Leone invests with land. Half of the required land area is owned by the state, the rest will be taken through the decision to acquire. “We are not occupying land,” she said, noting that the project was “very necessary” to create jobs for thousands of people. The new project is expected to be built in the village of Black Johnson. Photo: AFP. However, Dr Sama Banya, honorary president of the Sierra Leone Conservation Society, said the project would have a “catastrophic” impact on tourism and the fishing industry. Environmental NGO Green Scenery accused the government of failing to properly account for the project’s environmental impact and urged the plan to be scrapped. “Black Johnson is the only ecotourism site left in Freetown, we need to protect it,” said organization director Joseph Rahall. However, not all locals are against the harbor planning. Village chief Pa Lamin Kargbo said the port could help improve places where people still face daily shortages of water, electricity and schools. He explained that much of the friction with the government is due to a lack of dialogue. “We are calling for a peaceful resolution of the problem, so that everyone is a winner,” he said.

Recently, a guy posted a clip on TikTok boasting about the village road where he lives, making netizens extremely excited with the lychee-filled fence. According to the guy’s share, this scene was filmed in Luc Ngan, Bac Giang. As everyone knows, along with Thanh Ha (Hai Duong), this is the largest lychee growing area in the country. Lychee fruit has long been listed as a famous specialty that makes people elsewhere crave. In the video, you can see the scene of ripe lychee branches laden with fruit hanging outside the fence as if inviting passersby. Going up a section, on the left hand side is a vast garden of lychee, ripe red fruits growing in attractive clusters. Witnessing the clip of the street full of cloth, the netizen left a comment: “This style is sure to be planted in every house so no one wants to break it. But if the whole area has a few gardens like this, you only have a belt!” “Luc Ngan lychee is so famous, people living there this season must see the lychee is boring, but I can’t eat it.” or “The epidemic season is too difficult to sell, then pick and ship, friends, we buy and support!”. Thanh Ha and Luc Ngan lychees often have thin skin, thick pulp, small seeds or almost no seeds, when eaten, they have a sweeter and more aromatic flavor than litchi grown in other regions. Because of the good quality, the price of lychee is also higher than usual. Up to now, lychees from these two regions have been exported to the international market. Luc Ngan lychee (Bac Giang) has long been famous throughout the country for its delicious taste The bunches of red lychee look quite delicious.

Lina Medina as a newborn at the age of 5 (left) and with her son when she was 11 years old. To the shock of the couple, the doctor said their daughter was 7 months pregnant. Soon after, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy via caesarean section. At the age of five, 7 months and 21 days, she became the youngest mother in the world. Rare disease Born on September 23, 1933, Lina Medina is one of nine children in the family. Her pregnancy at such a young age was a shock to her relatives, as well as to the public. But for pediatric endocrinologists, a 5-year-old pregnancy is entirely possible. They believe that Medina has a rare genetic condition, called precocious puberty, that causes a child’s body to transform into an adult body too soon (before age 8 for girls and before age 9 for girls). boy). Boys with this disorder will have a low voice, rapid genital growth, and girls will have periods and breasts develop early. It is estimated that 1 in 10,000 children has precocious puberty, and the incidence is 10 times higher in girls than in boys. Scientists don’t know the exact cause of the disorder, but recent studies have found that girls who are sexually abused may experience puberty earlier than their peers. Regarding the case of Lina Medina, Dr Edmundo Escomel, of the University of Ricardo Palma, Peru reported in a medical journal that she had her first period when she was only 8 months old. However, other documents indicate that she started menstruating at the age of 3. Either way, it’s an amazingly early start. Closer examination of Medina at the age of 5 showed that she had developed breasts, wider hips and bone growth (signs of post-puberty). Although, her body develops prematurely, she is still an innocent child. Who is the author of the fetus? Precocious puberty partly explains Lina Medina’s pregnancy. But it doesn’t clear things up. Of course, there must be someone responsible for the pregnancy but certainly not some boy with the same condition as her. Meanwhile, Medina has not told doctors or authorities about the father of the baby, or what circumstances led to her pregnancy. Tiburelo, Medina’s father, who worked as a local silversmith, was arrested on suspicion of raping his son. However, he was soon released due to the lack of evidence, or the lack of witnesses to convict him. Consistently, Tiburelo staunchly denies raping her daughter. According to some media outlets, Medina may have been abused during festivals that took place near her village. However, there is nothing to prove this conjecture. Mother and daughter are only 5 years apart. What happens to the young mother? When news of Lina Medina’s pregnancy spread, it attracted attention from all over the world. Newspapers in Peru offered to give Lina Medina’s family thousands of dollars for the right to interview and film her, but were unsuccessful. Many newspapers even offered to provide money for Melina’s family to settle in the United States. But Medina and her family declined all offers and did not answer any questions regarding the case. More than 80 years on, neither Medina nor her family have taken advantage of this strange phenomenon to their profit, while medical records from that time provide complete documentation of her condition during pregnancy. . In it, accompanied by the report of the doctors treating her, the abdominal X-ray pictures clearly showed the bones of a developing fetus inside her body. Other tests also confirmed she was pregnant. Medina’s baby at birth weighing about 2.5kg was named Gerardo, after the doctor who first examined her. Two years after the birth, an expert in child education at Columbia University named Paul Koask was allowed to visit the Medina family. He rated the world’s youngest mother as “above normal intelligence” and her baby “absolutely normal”. Medina saw the child as a younger brother and so did her siblings in the family. An obstetrician named Jose Sandoval, who has written a book about Medina’s case, said she prefers to play with dolls than with children. As for Gerardo, he grew up thinking Medina was his older sister and only learned the truth when he was 10 years old. Gerardo was healthy for most of his life, but sadly, he died quite young at the age of 40, in 1979. The cause of death was bone disease. Lina Medina, after the shock of pregnancy, continues to live a quiet life in Peru. In the early 1970s, she married a man named Rául Jurado and gave birth to her second son when she was almost 40 years old. They live in a poor neighborhood in Lima and still avoid prying eyes. Since 2002, no one knows how her life and her family are. If alive, Medina would be 88 years old now.

Castiglione di Sicilia seen from above. Beautiful old village Perched on the cliffs on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, the small village of Castiglione di Sicilia overlooks the spectacular Alcantara valley, where deep pools with silver-white cliffs stand out against deep green trees and clear waterfalls squeeze. Etna is famous as Europe’s largest active volcano, attractive by scattered lava caves, pine forests and old lava flows. All create the majestic and special scenery of this area. Many visitors come here to experience activities such as hiking, rafting, canyoning, biking, horseback riding and lounging on the trails, through the dark lava-colored hills. Forests, olive groves, orange groves, hazelnut plantations and wine estates are scattered around the village, creating a pleasant rural atmosphere. Castiglione is known as the “city of wine” – a giant sculpture in the shape of a barrel and wine glass located at the entrance to the village. Thanks to the presence of many wineries, farms, restaurants, pubs, it is also a prime destination for food and wine tours. There are now more than 50 wineries in the region that produce and market wines internationally. Like many ancient villages in Italy, Castiglione di Sicilia consists of many “layered” houses on the hillside, bound together by small streets paved with lava stone. In addition to the charming scenery, this place is especially attractive because of the cultural heritage left over from the Middle Ages, reminiscent of an ancient Italy familiar in literature and art. Winding forest paths will lead you past crumbling Greek fortresses and Byzantine chapels with secret tunnels. According to many documents, Castiglione di Sicilia was founded on the ashes of prehistoric settlements in 403 BC by refugees from the coastal settlement of Naxos, near modern Taormina. Its name derives from the “Lion Castle”, Castiglione’s coat of arms still features two lions standing guard. For centuries it was a vibrant and powerful fief, one of Sicily’s most prosperous and strategic outposts. Roads and walls are made of dark lava cobblestone, while aristocratic residences are adjacent to modest houses. Located along the hillside, the town is divided into several districts at different elevations. The old center was a labyrinth of cobbled alleyways and buildings with gates decorated with gargoyles. Old dilapidated houses in Castiglione di Sicilia. Wish to be restored Despite its unique beauty, Castiglione di Sicilia recently made the world “shocked” when offering old houses here for 1 euro, equivalent to 1 cup of coffee. This is because in this town there are about 900 abandoned houses. About half have been destroyed and will be given away for a symbolic price of 1 euro (~1.2 USD). The rest are in better condition and will be sold cheaply, starting from 4,000 – 5,000 euros. The reason is that many of the town’s former residents have migrated to Australia and South America in search of a brighter future. Their descendants never returned, leaving many houses in ruins, the doorways covered with moss and prickly pear branches. The prolonged Covid-19 epidemic and tourism stagnation made the scene even more dreary because most of the old houses are located in the oldest parts of the town. For example, Giudecca, the Jewish quarter is full of abandoned stone houses with thick, dilapidated walls. Most of the empty buildings in this area have a unique appearance, shaped like small turrets, with various entrances from different streets. That’s why Mayor Antonino Camarda undertook an ambitious project to breathe new life into his village, whose population has dropped from 14,000 in the early 1900s to just 3,000 today. He told CNN: “We have a huge architectural legacy to rescue, filled with history. Over time, too many people have gone, leaving behind picturesque old houses, many houses even date back to the Renaissance.” Hopefully with such a “shock price”, the old houses in Castiglione di Sicilia will soon be noticed by investors and the village will soon be revived.

During a trip to discover the village of Bru Van Kieu people in Quang Binh, blogger Vinh Bear took time to visit Cha Loi cave. Before the trip, the tour unit will give visitors helmets with lights, army shoes for trekking and gloves for climbing… The structure of Cha Loi cave is divided into 3 floors. The 2nd floor is the entrance to the cave, after that, visitors will move down to the 1st floor and finish by climbing up to the exit on the 3rd floor. “As soon as I got to the cave entrance, I saw the cool breeze inside blowing out. Turning on the flashlight to shine inside, I started the journey to discover Cha Loi”, Vinh Bear shared. The first impression is the stalactites in the cave. This blogger admitted to having “A eyes, O mouth” when looking at the natural masterpieces of Cha Loi cave. It is known that each year, stalactites are only about 0.03 mm long. Therefore, visitors absolutely do not touch or touch them during the exploration of the cave. Leaving the 2nd floor, you will go down to the 1st floor to continue the journey of discovery. The stalactites on this floor are equally majestic as the ones above. However, it is more special because there are stalactites like human heads. A stalactite block shaped like a bust of General Vo Nguyen Giap. In addition, Cha Loi cave is also known as “Ong Giap cave”. A better view of the famous stalactite in the cave. In the journey to explore the cave, you also need to be prepared to wade in the water. Some sections of water are just knee-high. However, there is a stretch of water up to the chest. Impressive pictures when checking-in in the cave is what you can expect with this exploration. The journey to explore Cha Loi cave takes about 4 hours. According to Vinh Bear, this is a relatively suitable journey for all subjects. “In my group there is a 60-year-old girl and two 6-year-old children, but walking is not difficult,” he said. After the adventure in the cave, the group moved to Ban Coi. There is a love valley area suitable for night camping. There are only 3 Bru Van Kieu households living in this area. After setting up the tent, you can immerse yourself in the cool stream to wash away dirt in the process of exploring Cha Loi cave. “The feeling is nothing. Alone, free to struggle”, Vinh Bear shared. The dishes will be prepared by Bru Van Kieu people. This time, the group enjoyed roast pork, walking chicken and fresh river fish. “One of the things I like most here is that people talk to each other more. This area has no phone signal, so messages and social media notifications can’t distract us,” he said.

Just like poetry and poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan, if he had to go to heaven, Tuan would go to the reverse region where the magnificent mountains and forests of the Northeast where he was a soldier for many years stationed at Cao Bang forts once wrote the following verses: “ A bowl of forest wine / Laughing to break the waterfall / A cold rainy night / Deep with coal light / A sentence soars / A patrol road across the village / Nights screaming your name / Firecrackers howling around… The country… hundreds of battles / Want to find a common soldier / Look in the form of a rock / Vong Phu through the wind and fog… “. (Normal soldier). Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan. Why did you choose the South? Go suddenly. Go like a talisman lures you to go. As long as indefinite? It seems to be disoriented because Nguyen Thanh Tuan has never “planned” his life. Going to clean up the whole family with Nam Tien. You are not showbiz, how can you love the Southern light? She is currently holding the position of Vice Principal of a school in the countryside. The ancestors of the family are on both sides of the land in the land he once wrote: “ Dad took me to the village road / Let me take each brick / In the sky as blue as the river / Under the bamboo banks “. (Village road), why suddenly the south is as serene as clouds in the four directions of the sky. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a rather strange case. Once upon a time, Tuan from the East matched with Duong Kieu Minh from Doai, a pair of famous poetic poems in the middle of the world, half an eye of multi-faceted poetry, alone, making people feel anxious and worried. Thanh Tuan’s poetry is oriented towards tradition, taking simplicity as the foundation, liking the new but not the old, shaking hands and celebrating with the rich and lovingly at peace with old friends and neighbors. Tuan sometimes flies to the clouds, still holding a thin kite string on the ground. Where did the kite string break? The storm outside is dark clouds, white wind, elephant god, who knows if it’s good or bad? Well know this: “ Hiding the roots of the urban day / The smell of the earth contemplating every night / Loving the piece of potato buried in the school day / Thirsty for the river while bathing naked “. (Village memory); “ Everywhere I go, I find myself sobbing / The night of the festival melts beautiful heels / A pompous farewell to brothers and sisters / Early morning buried in the mud “. (Village festival)… meaning Tuan still considers his homeland as important, still grateful for great accretion from rice seeds and potatoes in the fields and corners of the village. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is an expected poet in Hung Yen in recent decades, especially during the period when he was Vice President of the Association – Editor-in-Chief of Pho Hien Magazine, which invited unique and special pages of poetry and literature. sharp. Of course there are people, including the leadership, who don’t like the men who wander or speak everywhere. Also telling the truth. He also often said the right thing when he had to say it differently, saying it around like a poem, he wrote poetry and said it straight, so his position was wobbly and could not stand it but completely slipped. This is a matter of local art circles and we’re happy for him. At that time, Tuan was still a poet in the true sense of the word: “ And you still have the right to take off your shirt/ To shed all winters barefoot/ The first drop of water from your shoulder/ Spring buds across the Red River Delta “. (Liberal Red River); “I lied to a dying person / Let them go away with peace of mind / I lied to my heart / I kept my hopes / I lied day and night / To torment my conscience night and day”. (Lie)… Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan (2nd from the right) with fellow writers. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a philosopher. Everything is considered philosophy first. However, the absurdities in life fell on him, Tuan did not know how to argue. Or arguing is just arguing in poetry. Outside, I see that he is always weak, even though the right thing has already belonged to him. Once, I went with him and writer Dao Ba Doan to drink at a flooded temple. When he got drunk, he didn’t know the way back. Doan was led away by a long-haired girl’s granddaughter. My house is a few inches away, but I can’t return it is ridiculous. But being young at the time, this was usually not a big deal. Even though that night, Doan announced his marriage to that girl?! Where are they now in the vastness of heaven and water? Strangely, he just sat still like a statue without saying anything, even more not stopping the other couple from walking into the dark night in the middle of the river. Until morning, the militia brothers in the commune used a boat to take us to the town to have breakfast and return to Nguyen Thanh Tuan’s house to see the couple chirping in the small kitchen as if they were at home. Could it be that they thought this was the place where the fairies were? The two brothers had to withdraw from the house, ignoring the pair of bronze and jade fairies. Then Tuan wrote a poem: Leaving the dogma in the flooded temple / Doan walking in the rain / Village women with long hair like a river / Boobs rising up in the pouring season / Did the Doan choose? / Is it the freedom group? / Go / Walk away in a short distance The buffalo dung road makes a mistake / Going to grow chrysanthemum leaves, lemongrass and incense … The river cries in the rain / Corpse Doan is covered with alluvium from the water’s edge…” . (The group goes to the river). Nguyen Thanh Tuan is not only fascinated with his homeland but also fascinated with people, not only men like Doan but also Tuan’s women are also very wandering: “ If my sister is not next to me / I don’t remember the name of the temple / I pass by my hat forever / How can I hear the whispering whispers… But I don’t have a husband? / When I enter the temple, I vow to become a monk. “. (Phoenix Pho Hien); “ You came out pure from the drizzle / The eyes of the leaves opened in shock / The rising rivers turned away sullenly / I panicked and yelled at you to stop / At the other end of the road the clouds were very unusual “. (At the end of the drizzly road)… Nguyen Thanh Tuan has been lost in the South for nearly ten years, sometimes returning to his father’s hometown, sometimes his friends are also lost or busy making a living, giving up literature and words. Like Tuan himself, the poet is expected to have deeply embedded in his memory a few verses, still in the village’s memory is it still the same as before? “ Why don’t you go back to the dyke / Kite to let go of the passion of the city / Guava is happy with the green river / Take off your clothes and take off your clothes equally / Bai Soi is proud of the buffalo back / Everywhere you fall, you will fall on the brown earth of your hometown / Rise give white chicken grass / Give me the shyness to fight, but I’m empty-handed “. (Untitled). As the years go by, the rich and glorious beauty has long been a waste. The joys and sorrows are lost and frivolous like clouds floating above your head. It is only fair that Nguyen Thanh Tuan is in a far place looking back or old friends looking to read his poetry. While the core values ​​of culture, history, and people seem to be under too much pressure; pressure from the new came rushing in; the pressure from the old persistently does not let go; pressure from each self over time and voluntarily surrendered. Oh, the pressure makes people confused. In that scene, fortunately, Nguyen Thanh Tuan was able to say that: Get out of the pond, fish and fish / Be careful not to forget to catch a lotus branch / Clap the petrified pink horse again / Bring only a gentle buffalo / Fly through the mist of copper / Melt into nothingness… “. (Dream). Oh Nguyen Thanh Tuan! It seems that everything has been peaceful in different heavens? Is the loss of good and bad people also a constant? Brothers and sisters, who have taken literature as a reason to live, they must understand that “the world is infinite and everything is empty” is the Buddha’s words thousands of years ago? The North and the South don’t have a literary background? We are in the same realm. We are in the same rhythm. We share the same reason of life and death, but are we not destined for heaven and earth?

Sil Pop’s coffee garden applies economical irrigation to reduce costs. Photo: D.L. Garden improvement techniques Sil Pop (36 years old), a J’rai ethnic in Yo 2 village, Ia Ka commune (Chu Pah district, Gia Lai) has a 3-hectare coffee garden in his home garden. He said, this coffee garden family has been nearly twenty years. Initially, the coffee garden was green and had a high harvest due to the new land, moreover the price of coffee at that time was good, so he and many other households boldly invested in the garden. However, for a long time, the orchards have deteriorated due to improper care, the initial selection of varieties is not good, and the price of coffee has continuously plummeted, so there is no money to invest in the garden. “For several years, watching the coffee garden gradually degraded, yielding low, the price dropped to the bottom, my family was sad,” said Sil Pop. In 2018, Sil Pop decided to bring his coffee garden to participate in Ia Mo Nong Agricultural Production – Trade – Service – Tourism Cooperative (Cooperative). By 2019, the VnSAT project will install the sprinkler irrigation system at the root, Sil Pop is the first out of a total of nearly 200 ethnic minority households to participate in the installation of this system. Spending 43,592,000 VND (50% of the project’s counterpart), he bought plumbing, valves, pumps, digging wells… for the sprinkler irrigation system. Under each coffee tree is a water pipe about 40cm above the ground. From here, every time you water, just turn on the switch and the system will bring water to each coffee tree. Sil Pop said: For the first time, just open the power bridge, water for about 5-6 hours is enough. After 10 days of watering again the second phase, just 2 hours is enough water for coffee plants. Depending on the weather each year, watering more or less. “Since the installation of the sprinkler irrigation system, taking care of the coffee garden is very easy. Just open the bridge and then… go play, when it’s time to turn off the bridge, the job is done. It’s not like before, you have to bend your back and drag the water pipe to every coffee tree,” said Sil Pop. According to Sil Pop, since applying the sprinkler irrigation system to the root, his family’s garden quickly turned green again, as if there was a “miracle”. Sil Pop next to a lush coffee garden, thanks to the application of sprinkler irrigation technology. Photo: TA Outstanding efficiency Mr. Le Van Thanh, Director of the cooperative said: The application of sprinkler irrigation technology at the root has brought great efficiency to the coffee garden. According to Mr. Thanh, applying this irrigation technology has saved a lot in the process of investment and care for the garden. The first is to save labor: If before, it would take a lot of time to pull pipes to irrigate each tree, unlike now, just open the bridge and finish; In the process of watering, farmers can take advantage of making branches or doing other jobs. Applying this irrigation technology has also saved up to 50% of water according to the previous irrigation method, because the water goes to the root without evaporating or spilling to other places like traditional irrigation. If before, each watering required 450-500 liters of water for each coffee tree, now only half is enough. The amount of fertilizer is also significantly saved because the fertilizer is quantified, put into the water system to bring to each tree, avoiding the case of a lot of roots, less fertilizer, or scattered fertilizer throughout the garden. Then save electricity, save health… “If this system is not installed, this year’s coffee garden will probably be left to die due to a serious lack of water this year,” Sil Pop said. Saving is like that, but the effect brought is a big surprise. According to Sil Pop, in addition to saving labor and investment costs, applying this irrigation technology has significantly improved the quality of orchards: The fruit is larger, stronger and stronger, the yield is superior to the old farming method. . After the first year of applying sprinkler irrigation technology at the root, his garden harvested over 5 tons of kernels/ha. “This crop will probably yield five and a half to six tons per hectare,” Sil Pop said happily. In the harsh climatic conditions, many gardens do not dare to boldly apply science and technology, so the productivity is reduced, Sil Pop’s coffee garden is indeed a model worth learning. Commenting on Sil Pop’s orchard, Mr. Thanh said: “Sil Pop is the member household with the most methodical investment in the coffee garden. Thanks to this right investment, every year, his family’s orchard leads in both yield and quality of fruit. For many years in a row, Sil Pop has been recognized as a good farmer.” According to Mr. Thanh, it was difficult at first to mobilize ethnic minority households to apply this irrigation technology, because people had to “see and then believe”. Since seeing Sil Pop’s application and being effective, many member households who are ethnic minorities have voluntarily followed, bringing positive effects to the orchard. “Sil Pop deserves to be a pioneer in the movement of applying technology to agricultural production of the people of Yo 2 village,” Thanh affirmed. Ia Mo Nong Agricultural Production – Trade – Service – Tourism Cooperative has over 500 member households, with over 700 hectares of coffee. In which, about 190 member households are ethnic minorities. Thanks to learning Sil Pop’s method, up to now, the coffee garden of the people has improved significantly in quality and productivity, which is superior to the backward traditional farming method.

Tamarind, also known as acacia prickly, is a plant that lives in the tropics. (Illustration) It is not known when they appeared, but the shady rows of tamarind have become a familiar image of the Vietnamese countryside. The trunk is tall, coniferous and often grows wild, without needing to be nursed or fertilized. And the most attractive thing for the children is the swaying bunches of fruit at the top. Called tamarind, but this fruit grows all the way up. (Illustration) Although the water tamarind is divided into segments like normal sour tamarind, each fruit is bent into a strange curved circle. Water tamarind when young, the skin is green, flat and relatively hard. When it reaches maturity, it expands on both sides of the fruit body to reveal the white flesh and black seeds inside. But the most attractive is when they get old and turn pink and red, making all children crave. Tamarind water when ripe turns pinkish red and bends back into a ring. (Illustration) Picking tamarind is not easy, because the trunk has many thorns, so few dare to climb it. But the most “lucky” way is to throw stones to let them fall or wait until they fall, then pick them up and enjoy. They’re used to eating, so every time the fruit is ripe, they all stand under the tree “soup tamarind”. If you want to pick tamarind, you have to poke or throw stones to make the fruit fall. (Illustration) Although the layer of rice is a bit viscous, it has a very strange sweetness. There is no need to dip anything in salt and fish sauce, just chew on the white meat, wait for the aroma to spread slowly, very pleasing to the mouth. In addition, a little bit of flesh on the outside of the shell lingers in the throat, making the children want to eat again and again. The simple taste has gone into the carefree memories of many people. (Illustration) No one can resist this delicious childhood taste. (Illustration) Currently, tamarind does not seem to appear much even in the countryside. That’s why people sometimes forget the familiar food of that time, but every time they recall the image of tamarind swaying “inviting” so provocatively that all the children have to make a fuss, it’s like childhood rushing back. Such small joys are such a dear part of rural children.

Remove the pit fish from the net. On summer days, the sky is calm and the sea is calm. Although the journeys of the fishermen in my hometown are difficult, when they return to the shore, they are always full of laughter. On the ships docked, there are not only dried squid – an expensive export seafood – but also dried sea bass – a fragrant, delicious fish that is now very popular. Throughout the fishing ports and beaches in the communes of Binh Son district (Quang Ngai), hundreds of fishermen are very excited about the beginning of the fish season, while the price of this commodity is increasing. The people of the sea are happy because of the fish season. When the boat came ashore, far away from the motorbikes buying fish, carrying fish was busy. These days, coastal fishermen begin to exploit pit fish. This is a high-value seafood species that is exported to many countries. Starts sporadically after Tet, but from March to May is the time when the fish starts to be in season and is the most fat, fat and fragrant. According to the coastal seniors in Binh Chau commune, the fishing season is mainly from January to April of the lunar calendar because at this time the fish come back a lot. After the voyages to sea, the majority of the marine catch are usually pit fish with bright silver chalk, which is pleasing to the eye at first glance. Ho fish is very popular in foreign markets, so when it is exploited, traders also follow fishermen to go far to sea to buy and preserve on the spot. Hogfish is a special type of fish known as the sea fish with a dragon body because of its silvery sparkling appearance and fins running down its spine. Just like the fish in the sea, the fish in the open sea, the body is long and the body is flat, but black, the skin is covered by a thick, hard bone that runs from the head to the tail, looks very solid, the meat is lean, with little fat. than. The big one is about 1m long, the small one is about 50cm. They have a long body (average 60–90 cm), flattened on one side, with pointed teeth. Although it is a fierce fish, difficult to catch, but with high nutritional value, cobia is classified as a nutritious food for many people. The fish is very delicious when it is fresh and only those who directly practice at sea can enjoy it. Because before returning to the mainland, fish must be dried to ensure quality and keep for a long time. This year, the weather at the beginning of the year is favorable, the sea is calm, so the boats and boats are all hit by fish. Mr. Thanh, a fisherman in Binh Chau shared: “The fishermen usually go out to sea to catch fish from 3-4 am every day, then return to shore, every trip back to the sea is full of fish, so everyone is excited. “. At 4 a.m. every day, Binh Chau fishermen reach out to catch fish. They use a net 7 m wide, more than 300 m long, and drop it about 5 to 10 km from the coast. At 11 a.m., they reached the shore with a thick net and began to unload the fish. But seafaring is also very industrial, because only seasoned fishermen can see the flow of fish in action, in addition to the help of the locator and locator. According to local people, Ho fish often go in groups in the sea, at the beginning of the lunar year, they come to the shore. “This year, the weather is favorable at the beginning of the year, the sea is calm, so the boats and boats all hit fish holes, some people gain a few tens of kilograms, some people have a few hundred kilograms each trip,” said fisherman Nguyen Van Thinh. The fish meat is very delicious and is loved by many people. After collecting the net, the fish will be carefully removed, avoiding scratches, stored in a foam box with enough ice to ensure quality or temporarily dried on the boat. After that, the fish is transported from the sea to the mainland, a part is brought to the market to sell fresh, and part of the fish is salted for 2 days. Then let it dry in the sun to dry naturally. In the early morning, people have bought fresh pit fish from fishermen who went fishing in the sea. Ho fish is very popular in foreign markets, so when it is exploited, traders also follow fishermen to go far to sea to buy and preserve on the spot. Ho fish meat is very delicious, popular with many people, white hole fish for export currently has a high price of 70,000-75,000 VND/kg. Compared to previous years, the price of fish this year has increased. Sometimes through the large amount of catch, fresh fish cannot be consumed, the rest is transferred to dry by fishermen. Before being dried, the fish is washed in fresh water. After catching the fish, people will cut open the belly of the fish, clean it and strung it on bamboo strips about 5m long and then dry it. This stage is clean, the fish will be delicious to eat later and preserved for a long time. Dry fish pit. The fish head is the thickest place, so it will be spread out to let the sun shine in, helping to dry quickly. People in the coastal village often dry the fish by crossing a rope or pole to dry. After half a day of drying fish, people take the fish’s tail together to hang the fish head down, helping the fish to dry quickly and straight, convenient for packaging later. Although fresh fish brought back to dry, although it is laborious, it is very expensive to sell and gives a higher price than selling fresh fish. On average, 2kg of fresh halibut after drying in the sun, about 1kg of dried fish is obtained and sold for more than 120,000 VND. Under the sun over 37 degrees, the fish is dried for 8 consecutive days. The houses in these coastal villages all dry fish in season, from the front porch, on the pole to the fence, the long striped fish is brought out to dry.

Sharing the images on Twitter, Mr. David Harrison said: “The cows cause chaos on Woodlands Road in Beverley. At least 7 cows have escaped from the village, walked long distances and are now tearing down people’s lawns. After eating all the grass on Woodlands Road, they play in Atkinson Road. This area has less grass, but there are quite good scratching lights.” However, the bulls’ ‘big day’ came to an end after being rounded up by Zowie Bell, herdsman at Beverley Westwood, but one cow still escaped. Mr. David Harrison humorously said: “A stray cow, it doesn’t know that their friend has come home. This is like going to a bar, going to the dance floor but not seeing your partner.” The president of Beverley Pasture Masters, Allan English, says there are about 300 cattle on the pastures around town, but the smaller one occasionally escapes, making its way into town. “Residents won’t mind if they don’t cause any major damage. We’ll have them back in Westwood soon,” said Allan English. Bulls living in the European countryside are often very curious but not aggressive in nature. However, some breeds of Limousins ​​in the Limousin and Marche regions of France are quite aggressive.

The green and ancient roads bend along the cool areca trees. The house is separated from the house by the green tea trees. Perhaps the cool steam from the Pho Loi River has made the old trees and orchards greener. Walking around the village under the blazing sun, without a hat, without an umbrella, without feeling hot. From time to time, I see a few children playing under the banyan tree, mothers and fathers are washing clothes by the river wharf. It feels so peaceful and refreshing when enjoying the fresh air, the smell of plants, the smell of moist soil, and the passionate scent of areca flowers and porcelain flowers attached to each step.

Bored of rice but born a job It was known as a purely agricultural village, but in 1347, during the reign of King Tran Du Tong, Chou village was very poor at that time, but all year round, every month, having to hang around with rice and vegetables, it became boring. Rice morning. At noon, the cake is also made from rice. At night, open the pot, and the rice is in the eye. But the habit of life, what is boring to the neck is difficult to swallow. There is a man with a gentle and pure nature who shares that feeling with the villagers of Afternoon. That is Mr. Tran Dinh Han. Just because he wanted to create a dish from the same grain of rice in the lowland countryside where he was buried and cut his navel to make it more attractive than rice, cakes and thin porridge, the man with only the grain of flour was restless and worried. endless days. Then suddenly, at one point, Mr. Tran Dinh Han’s mind suddenly came up with an idea: take the rice to soak, then drain the water and put it in a stone mortar. Packing of rice paper products. Next, the old man used a clean cloth to cover the pounded rice and filtered it into powdered water. Finally, the paste was coated on a cloth and placed on the mouth of the copper pot. The flour was steamed, then Mr. Han brought it out to dry in the sun. When that thin powder was dried, Mr. Han ordered his family to cut it into small pieces, then ordered his family to cook it. And when I eat it, it is very strange and delicious. So Mr. Han and his relatives overcame boredom. Seeing that, the people of Chieu village learned to follow suit. In addition to slicing into thin strips, Mr. Han came up with the idea of ​​​​bringing toasted dried cakes. The cake is crispy, delicious, and fatty in the mouth. People call it traditional rice paper. Mr. Han is worshiped by Chuong villagers as the ancestor of the rice paper craft. When Mr. Khan left the temporary realm and returned to the Motherland, the villagers honored him as the village’s tutelary god. The village name becomes a culinary “brand” Mr. Tran Minh Khoa, one of the “masters” of making rice spring rolls from Chuong village, confided to guests like this: “The first cake that Mr. Tran Dinh Han created, there is only one round size. , 20 centimeters in diameter, as thick as today’s pho. Then, over time, the ancestors of Afternoon village “converted” it into rice paper rolls with different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, depending on the purpose of use such as fried spring rolls, Rolled rice paper rolls!”. The most interesting thing, from the day it appeared on the Vietnamese culinary map until now, although it is made by traditional manual methods and has not been mixed with any preservative chemicals, but rice paper rolls Afternoon village is famous for being durable with time; long-term degradation, even when stored at different temperatures and humidity. After drying a few cakes of freshly-coated and still hot cakes, Mr. Khoa suddenly could not hide his secret pride when he confessed, with his own recipe that is only passed down in the village, Banh Nem Chuong once eaten is remembered for a lifetime. , Can not forget; cannot be mixed with any other place. According to Mr. Khoa, in the past, the people of Chuong village started their work of making rice paper rolls around 5 am. Back in the day, it was “in the old days…” the dough for making rice paper rolls was hand-milled with a mortar. Until the cake is coated on the surface of the copper pot, it is still in the traditional manual way. In addition, the copper pot is heated with firewood, then with coal. So a rice paper roll was born, bringing with it the hardships and hardships of the person who made it. But now, the age of technology and machines has helped the people of Chuong village to be a bit more leisurely in the process of producing rice paper rolls with a greater number of products and better quality than the “once upon… that’s it! Each house has a secret Mr. Khoa happily shared, the process of making rice paper rolls requires careful, meticulous, thoughtful, clean and very professional to produce products that reach the “brand” of Chuong village. The first is the choice of rice. It must be the “brother” of Khang Dan rice that the people in the area cultivate to “catch the eyes” of the workers who produce rice paper rolls in Chuong village. After having the rice that “couldn’t be more satisfying”, people wash it thoroughly, drooling out the by-products. Next, soak the rice for about two hours. Mrs. Bui Thi Bich, a pure-hearted woman who is over 80 years old this year, was taught by her parents how to make rice spring rolls from the age of 6, confided: Particularly for the type of rice paper rolls for export, the soaking time takes place. less than the default “three rem”. It is thanks to the shorter soaking time than usual that the rice paper rolls made are less sour. As a result, its “output” price is always higher than the domestic market. Having fun, Bich confided: The people of Chuong village make rice paper rolls in their own way. Choosing the right type of “input” rice is already important, but the secret to preparing the ingredients after the rice has been milled into water powder plays a special role for the rice paper rolls. For hundreds of years, the people of Chuong village have never had the same recipe for the above. Because, each house, each clan has its own secret. Mr. Tran Van Loi, Bich’s son, gently added his mother’s story: One of the equally important things is the process of coating the cake, although this stage is now done very professionally by machine. modern cakes. By his special experience, one will know at what temperature boiling water will help the product to ripen. And get the bright white color, while still “preserving” the fragrance of the “brother” of Khang Dan rice. As a professional worker, Mr. Tran Van Loi is as sure as a nail that: After all, the drying process is the most difficult and strenuous because it depends on the weather. In order to have a “field in and out” thanks to the rice paper rolls, all year round the people of the afternoon village must: “Look at the sky, look at the earth, look at the clouds / Look at the rain, look at the wind, …”, otherwise they will “spoiled” only in an instant. Mrs. Bich slowly turned her teary eyes full of crow’s feet, looking into the unknown and recalling: Over the past few hundred years, the profession of making rice paper rolls of the Chu village people has experienced many ups and downs. The most difficult thing is the transition from the subsidized bureaucracy to the market mechanism. At that time, imported rice paper rolls flooded in like flood water. The goods they produced were not competitive enough, and countless households in Chuong village became depressed and thought of disbanding. But that’s what I thought would happen when someone in the village started to quit their job, causing the whole village to panic and panic. But then the market whirlwind gradually stabilized, the people of Afternoon village gradually got used to it. People clung to each other and stood up when they had recovered from a strange storm. And craft villages continue to exist, develop methodically and fundamentally until now. Tails After a few hundred years, the rice paper rolls still carry the “brand” of Chuong village. But the place name of Afternoon village is only an oral name in folklore. As for the old Chuong village of Mr. Tran Dinh Han, a rice cake maker, now part of it is in Mot village, the rest is in Nam village of Mao Cau village, Nguyen Ly commune, Ly Nhan district, Ha Nam province. Afternoon village in the 4.0 era currently has 190 households and 850 people. Of which, there are up to 150 households and about 400 people specializing in making rice paper rolls. With more than 70 tons of rice paper rolls “out of the oven” every day, the products of Chuong villagers not only have a stable market share in the domestic market but are also exported to a number of countries, such as Russia, France, and Brazil. Lan etc… His eyes suddenly became teary and with an emotional voice, Mr. Tran Van Loi confided: “In the past, every year, whether it’s highs or lows, every year on the 10th day of the second lunar month, the We, the descendants of the Chieu village people, hold the communal house festival. That is the day the descendants of the village of Afternoon expressed their gratitude to the Holy Citadel of the village Tran Dinh Han, who “birthed” the first rice paper – the “father” of rice paper rolls in the afternoon village – now – a long time ago. almost 700 years. February 10 is also the day when brothers, descendants of generations have the opportunity to meet together to discuss how to preserve, preserve and develop in a sustainable way, the basis of rice paper rolls – a cultural heritage. priceless object of the village – in the future and forever, brother!”.

The “village” is like a symphony of colors under the sunlight in a peaceful setting. In 1979, after receiving a postcard from his daughter with a picture of a glass castle – an attraction on Vancouver Island in the province of British Columbia (Canada), Edouard T.Arsenault was inspired to build the park. Present your own glass bottles. In the summer of that year, he began collecting bottles from the surrounding area, mainly from local restaurants, friends, relatives and neighbors. He then spent the winter in his basement cleaning bottles, removing labels, and brooding about the project. In the spring of 1980, at the age of 66, he began work on the project on the grounds of his house on Prince Edward Island. More than 12,000 recycled glass bottles are cleverly linked together to form a 6-gable house measuring 4x6m. The house opened to visitors in 1981. Impressed with the unique architecture, visitors urged Mr. Arsenault to build more buildings out of glass bottles. By 1983, he had completed a tavern made of 8,000 glass bottles and a prayer hall made of 10,000 glass bottles. The “village” made up of about 30,000 recycled glass bottles of various colors and sizes and surrounded by beautiful flower gardens has become a paradise for photographers, nature and soul lovers. with recycling projects. After Mr. Arsenault’s death, this wonderful work continued to be maintained by his family. Some pictures of the unique “village” made from glass bottles by Mr. Edouard T.Arsenault: Inspired by his daughter’s postcard, Edouard T.Arsenault built his own glass bottle architecture.

Outside the Cossack carpenter’s house. Photo: Tran Hieu – VNA reporter in Russia tại Here, visitors can learn a lot of cultural identity characteristics of the Cossacks – warriors who played an important role in the development history and culture of Russia. The Ataman Cultural Center Complex is located in a prime location, overlooking the beautiful Taman Bay. At the end of the 18th century, the village of Taman was the place where the first Cossacks from Zaparoze, Ukraine, sailed from the Crimea peninsula to land in Kuban, now Krasnodar province of Russia. That is why the Kuban people in southern Russia pronounce and have many words very similar to the Ukrainians. According to our guide Lida, who took us to visit Ataman village, this land is imbued with many different layers of ethnic culture. In the 6th century, this land was colonized by the Greeks and established a strong state called the Bosporus kingdom. Currently, on the Taman peninsula, there are still ruins of Greek columns of the two cities of Hermonassa and Phanagoria. According to Lida, it can be said that the Taman peninsula is the intersection of the cultures of Greece, Turkey, the Byzantine Empire, Cossack, and Rus. The old houses of the Cossacks were restored to their original form. Photo: Tran Hieu – VNA reporter in Russia tại On June 30, 1792, Queen Yekaterina II conferred a Medal of Honor on the Black Sea Cossack army, according to which the Cossacks who served and lived here were given permanent ownership of the Kuban land, bordered by the river. Kuban and Sea of ​​Azov. In 1793, the city of Yekaterinodar was founded by the Black Sea Cossacks. The city was named as a gift from the Kuban land that Queen Yekaterina II gave to the Black Sea Cossacks (Yekaterinodar means gift of Yekaterina) and now it is the bustling city of Krasnodar of Southern Russia. The Ataman Cultural Complex consists of 44 houses and courtyards according to the dimensions of the village, each house showing a function or characteristic of the Cossacks and each house has a guide to tell about the characteristics of the Cossacks. that house. You will first be invited to visit Ataman’s Khata (house) – the word for the military leader of the Cossacks. A feature of Ataman’s yard is a large horse-binding area for guests to visit. In each yard, there is a stove, so that every summer, the fire will be lit for the women in the house to show their talents. The Cossacks had a habit of keeping valuables in chests. The second room, also known as the upper room – Gornisa of the Cossacks is always clean and tidy, does not allow children to enter because in the room there is a corner of God’s worship facing east to catch the sun. Only a few Cossacks live in the village, taking care of conservation and guiding tourists to discover the national culture. Photo: Tran Hieu – VNA reporter in Russia tại The woman in the house needs to keep this room clean, or else she will be known as a “crazy”. The bed in the house is considered as the “passport” of the family, the more pillows the family is richer and absolutely no member can use the bed during the day. The Cossacks are very warlike. The average Cossack man served in the army for 20-25 years. Perhaps that is why Queen Yekaterina II gave this land to them to protect against the Ottoman Empire. At a house, my guide Lida showed me a picture of Ataman Yakov Petrovich Baklanov – the legendary general more than 2m tall of the Cossacks, the hero of the Caucasus war and considered the country’s first intelligence officer. Cossack. Also in the village of Taman I learned that the Russian painter Ilya Repin painted two famous paintings Cossack soldier Zaporoze writing a reply to the ultimatum of the Ottoman King, Sultan Mehmed IV. The picture is a beautiful story that shows admiration for the inherent vitality of the Cossacks and their contempt for power. There’s much more to see at Ataman Cultural Complex. For example, the Cossacks are very interested in the education of their children. Every Cossack paid a tax to send their children to the school built in the village; Every boy is given a piece of land from birth to build a house and a family, or a Cossack wooden “iron” called a rubel, which is used to scrub rough fabrics for soft fabrics. out… In Ataman, the festival season starts in May. Festivals here take place every Saturday with a variety of varieties such as jam festival, Kuban red cabbage soup festival, craft festival… and in festivals. That way you have the opportunity to feel more, admire the courage, as well as the traditional culture of the Cossacks.

She has planted more flowers and herbs to attract some insects. Birds, lizards, grasshoppers, butterflies regularly flock to the garden. At night, some marsupials enter the garden in search of corn or tomatoes. The 200m2 garden changed Ms. Leeanne’s life. Leeanne said: “I don’t see it as a hindrance, I’m happy to be able to share food with the native wildlife, as long as they leave some for us. Through the process of gardening, tending. plants, I understand that the more love and effort you put into taking care of the garden, the better it becomes, and the more you nourish yourself.” According to the girl, focusing on gardening is a way to make a positive contribution to making the Earth greener. It is also a way to help you get rid of a stressful life. “I’ve realized that growing plants can be addictive, the more you plant the more passionate you are about growing the garden, and you won’t have much time left to worry and think negative.” Hoang Dung (translation summary)

Yet, in remote rural states, health resources are even scarcer. Some places don’t even have any medical resources to deplete. People can only fight the epidemic on their own and look to their fate. 90 people died in the past month, 3 times the average annual death toll. Dinesh Makwana took his father to four hospitals in nearby towns but could not find a single hospital bed. Photo: CNN. “No medical center, no doctors, no nurses” Chogath is a farming community in western Gujarat state, with about 7,400 inhabitants, according to the last census of 2011. Earlier this week, Mr. Jeetu said CNN that there are about 500 to 600 people with Covid-19 in the village. Residents here have also reported a spike in death toll. There are almost no doctors or medical facilities in the village. Meanwhile, the nearest city is more than an hour’s drive from the village. Some neighboring towns have clinics, but these facilities are very small and run out of beds and other essential medical supplies. The sudden spike in the number of illnesses and deaths in the whole village seemed to rest on Mr. Jeetu’s shoulder. An experienced pharmacist, he is in charge of prescribing medicine and supplying oxygen to the patients in the village. “No one, no medical center, no doctors, no nurses. There aren’t any facilities in this village. So I decided to deal with Covid-19 in a way that I see fit, ”he said. In Chogath, the lack of medical resources forced the desperate villagers to travel to the surrounding towns in the hope of finding a hospital bed. Dinesh Makwana, a resident of Chogath, said he tried to get his father with Covid-19 to four different hospitals in the surrounding towns but was hopeless. There are no more vacancies. With no other choice, he brought his seriously ill father to the village. “We are shocked (because of the 2nd Covi-19 wave). The whole village was very shocked, everyone was scared, ”he said. He said many people in the village died of Covid-19 and said: “I am very scared. I am worried that my father will lose “. Pharmacist Jeetu is the only source of medical assistance in Chogath village, Gujarat. Photo: CNN. Mr. Jeetu did his best to be able to provide some medicines to the villagers, including his father Makwana, to help stabilize the patient’s condition. However, the troubles that hit Makwana’s family do not stop there. His sister and mother are also infected. When Makwana talks to CNN, His mother was breathing hard on the porch. “I take care of my family. If I die, my wife and children will be crushed. I am not afraid of death, but only care for my wife, ”said Makwana’s father, Mr. Jivraj. 90 funerals a month Mr. Girjashankar, a resident of Chogath, despite being 70 years old, still helps families in the village to cremate their deceased loved ones. Day by day, he went to the forest or the field to cut wood, filled them with a tractor and then transported to the village, preparing to cremate the deceased. Normally, about 30 people die each year in the village. But within the past month, they cremated about 90 bodies, according to Mr. Girjashankar. Some families, he said, lost several people immediately because of the virus. Mr. Girjashankar, a cremation assistant, said that only a month ago, the village had 90 deaths, 3 times higher than the average annual death rate. Photo: CNN. The government tried to respond to the Covid-19 crisis in the country. They send oxygen supplies to various states and distribute aid from abroad. However, with the huge demand, the supplies do not seem to be distributed across the country. This means that the vast majority of health resources will go to the most densely affected and populous states. Therefore, small villages like Chogath have to survive this deadly epidemic on their own. “The village received no relief from the government. No doctors. There aren’t any government employees. The needed cannot come, and the person who needs to go (the hospital) cannot go ”, Mr. Girjashankar said. Pharmacist Jeetu said he was “very angry” because the people here are not being supported. “What can I do by myself,” he said. We don’t have any solutions, the people here are very poor ”. “All the people in the village are scared. 15, 20 days now, no one dares to step out of the house. Everyone is afraid, ”Makwana said.

Jeetu, local pharmacist and volunteer doctor in Chogath village. Photo: CNN But in rural states and remote villages, the workforce of doctors and clinics is even scarcer. The people here have to fight the epidemic on their own without receiving any medical care. Chogath is a farming community in the western state of Gujarat. It is home to about 7,400 people, according to the 2011 census. Earlier this week, Mr. Jeetu said that there were about 500-600 cases of Covid-19 in Chogath village. Villagers also reported a sudden increase in the number of people dying from the disease. However, there were not any doctors or medical staff in the village. Meanwhile, the nearest city is more than an hour’s drive from the village. There are clinics in a number of neighboring towns, but these also run out of beds and other necessary medical equipment. As the number of illnesses and deaths in Chogath village spiked, Mr. Jeetu took on the role of a doctor. With his experience as a pharmacist, Mr. Jeetu prescribes medicine and supplies oxygen to the patients in the village. “No one is here, there is no medical center, no doctors, no nurses. There are no medical facilities in this village. So I settled in the way I saw fit, ”Mr. Jeetu said. India is facing a severe Covid-19 crisis that takes place everywhere, from the capital New Delhi to the smallest villages and towns. The second wave of Covid-19 has made millions of people in India sick in the past month and thousands dying every day. With more than 23 million cases of Covid-19, India is now the second most affected country in the world after the US epidemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In Chogath, the lack of medical resources forced people to travel to surrounding towns in hopes of finding hospital beds. Dinesh Makwana, a resident of the village of Chogath, said he tried to put his father with Covid-19 into four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but there were no vacancies. He had no choice but to bring his father, who had been diagnosed with a serious illness, back home. “All villagers are afraid” “We were shocked by the second wave of Covid-19. The whole village was very shocked, everyone was scared, ”Mr. Makwana said. Makwana says that many people in the village died from Covid-19. “I am very scared. I worry my father will die, ”he said. Makwana tried to send her father with Covid-19 to four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but all had no vacancies.

However, the Makwana family’s troubles are not over as his sister and mother are also sick. “I am very worried about my family. If I die my family will be broken. I’m not afraid of death, I’m just worried about my wife, ”said Makwana’s father, Jivraj. Girjashankar, 70, a resident of Chogath, helped families in the village cremate deceased loved ones. He cut wood from the forests and loaded it on tractors and drove it back to the village, preparing for cremation for the deceased. Mr. Girjashankar said that each year about 30 people in Chogath village died, but only in the past month they cremated 90 bodies. The Indian government attempted to cope with the Covid-19 crisis by sending oxygen supplies to various states and distributing aid from abroad. However, the scarcity of medical supplies means most aid will go to the most populous and most affected states. Therefore, small villages like Chogath have to fight the pandemic on their own. “We don’t have doctors. We have no way to get to the bigger hospitals, ”said Girjashankar. Jeetu said he was “very angry” at the fact that people here do not receive medical care and lack of help from the authorities. “What can I do by myself? We don’t have a solution, the people here are very poor, ”said Mr. Jeetu. The villagers of Chogath had no choice but to wait for help. “All the people in the village are scared. It has been 15-20 days no one left the house. Everyone feels scared, ”Makwana said.
