In Xuzhou District, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, there is such a second-grade pupil whose family is a large local grain grower. His total income for the whole year exceeded 300,000 yuan. He doesn't worry about eating and drinking, but he is obsessed with farming, transplanting rice seedlings and threshing.
On the morning of September 22nd, Shen, a 7-year-old boy called "the best ploughman" by netizens, told the Red Star journalist who came to interview: "My ideal is to be a farmer when I grow up."

A video unexpectedly became popular.
The boy in Yibin, Sichuan is called "Brother Tilling the Field".
"Young shoulders can carry tomorrow's agriculture? The child is not just curious to play, but ploughing the fields to level the rice fields and storing water for the winter. " On September 14, Hu Zhibin, an associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry of Yibin Vocational and Technical College, expressed some thoughts in the circle of WeChat friends, and distributed a photo of a few-year-old children holding a rotary tiller to plow the fields.
"It must be a bitter story to be able to farm at such a young age?" The photo of Hu Zhibin's circle of friends caught the attention of Luo, editor of Yibin New Media. Since then, a video obtained by Luo has surprised him. "The children in the video are ploughing, ploughing and turning with a rotary tiller. A set of actions is different, unlike hype. "
In this video, which was circulated on the Internet for 2 minutes 16 seconds, the reporter saw that in an ordinary rural paddy field, a little boy dressed in yellow stepped on knee-deep mud, clutching the handrails of the rotary tiller with both hands, and plowing with his body half bowed.
