[Rural Revitalization] Guilin old farmer became a "model" by driving cattle across the bridge for people to take pictures

  [Explanation] Tianxin Village in Sitang Town, Lingui District, Guilin, Guangxi, has gradually become a well-known online celebrity check-in place because of its beautiful landscape and idyllic picturesque.

In recent years, there have been many elderly people in the village posing in front of the bulls for tourists to take pictures and become local “models” of Internet celebrities.

  [Explanation] Villager Xu Xiubao, who is nearly seventy years old, is the first "crab-eating person" in the local area.

In response to the needs of photography enthusiasts and tourists, he often wears a fur coat and hat, and drives buffalo across the champion bridge in front of the village for people to take pictures.

  Take me as my own business card. Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, and Malaysia all have business cards in that country, and the tour guides will pass them one by one.

The cow was not so obedient at first, but now it's obedient by pulling it all the way, turning left, turning right, knowing that it's okay to turn around, you can stop it if you stop it.

  [Explanation] Zhou Zhongjing, a 66-year-old villager, also started his "Model Road" four years ago under the leadership of Xu Xiubao, becoming Xu Xiubao's "old apprentice".

During the Qingming Festival of the Year of the Ox, the rural areas of Guilin, Guangxi are the same as in previous years, and farmers are busy raising seedlings and raking the fields.

But Xu Xiubao and his partner Zhou Zhongjing are still wearing hats, carrying a hoe or a rake, and they are busy doing the "model" catwalk work of the champion bridge. They are not tired back and forth.

At the end of the day, each person can get a reward of about 300 yuan.

This income is already very satisfying for their elderly models.

  A good luck day, there are still three or five orders. After taking their money, they will tell you how to do it, and you can do whatever you want to pose.

Master Xu came out first. He is a teacher, he is a master.

He is my master for building the house, and I am his master for blowing the trumpet. Thank him.

  [Explanation] The farmer model opened up another new mode of survival and income generation for local farmers relying on the natural tourism resources of the beautiful countryside.

With the popularization of mechanized farming methods and the vigorous advancement of rural revitalization, most of the farmland in Guilin rural areas has been mechanized farming. The traditional farming method of cultivating the fields with the ox-pull rake is gradually withdrawing from the stage of history. As the symbol of farming civilization, the cattle Appear in the fields in another way.
