JIAXING, China, Nov 29 (Bernama-AsiaNet) — Xiangjiadang, a scenic lakeside area in Jiaxing City, east China’s Zhejiang Province, is bathing in a brilliant golden yellow color in early winter. Recently, a study travel activity featuring nature and farming experiences attracted the participation of many teachers and students in local primary and secondary schools.
The children, accompanied by their parents, went to the fields of Xiangjiadang to sketch and harvest rice. With a palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, some students, like little painters, painted the rice in front of them. Meanwhile, other students rolled up their sleeves and harvested the rice like farmers. They carefully stacked the cut rice neatly together and waited for the threshing. What they held in hands was not only the harvested rice, but also a sense of achievement.
