In recent days, the weather in Zhongshan has continued to be clear and dry, benefiting the rice harvest. On October 26, in the fields in Yakou Village, Nanlang District, villagers made good use of the weather to dry the harvested rice.
Villagers spread the newly harvested rice in the drying fields to remove moisture.

In the corner of the drying field, villagers use leaf-blowers to remove the shriveled grains from the rice, and load the sifted rice into a truck to carry it away.
