Rural China
There are 700-800 million people living in Rural China and about 55% of people in China live in Rural life. When living in Rural China it is very hard to get a lot of land space. In Heilongjiang Province( Rural China) about 25million people farm about 9 million hectares– or some people only get one acre for themselves and occasionally a family of four will share 1 acre! These people spend days working very hard and are most of the time unrewarded. The farms that are average have running water, electricity and cable television. In rural China some children don’t even have enough money to go to school. Some people in poorer parts or rural China don’t even have enough money to be able to pay for running water. A lot of farming is done by hand, such as potatoes, corn and vegetables. Some of the farming is mechanized. Farm life in China is very difficult. Farmers use animals to pull heavy metal which they use to plough fields and clear river ways. People use dry corn cobs for cooking fuel in their home. This is why we must appreciate and respect the lives of these people who have a very hard time, while we live a wonderful life with problems much smaller than what happen to those living in rural China.
In conclusion the people who live in rural China work extremely hard. It is much easier in other and wealthier countries such as: Australia, New Zealand, America and many other countries. This work that they do is back-breaking and takes a long time. These people work very hard and we should all be grateful to these people for all of their hard work. Many say that "Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration." Those who work in rural China are GENIUS.
