The peasants' words:

"The crops have been havested. The national government has prescribed 55 yuan for 50 kilos of grain, but the local grain distribution station pays only 38 yuan for that amount. Even so, you have to wait outside the station for several nights. Still, Without any bribes, it's hard for you to sell out your grains. My father goes to the grain distribution station to sell grain ecverytime, for I am afraid I can't hold up my anger at the sight of those evil-minded purchasers, and would set fire on the station."
