The peasants' words:

In China, a greater part of population lives in the rural area. The root and the sentiment of the Chinese are also there. But, the poorest place is the rural area, too. The people lived in the mountain area, ploughing and weeding with their face toward the loess and back under the sun, live and multiply there. They have never complained about or signed for what life has granted them. They just live like this day after day, year after year and one generation after another.
