China News Service, Guangxi Teng County, March 26th (Meng Mingming Wang Yizhao Chen Yanyou Yu Jing) On the 26th, it has been 6 days since the crash of a China Eastern Airlines passenger plane in Motong Village, Teng County, Guangxi, and rescuers are still working hard. Look for the second black box.
In a village about 10 kilometers from the crash site, an old farmer found a piece of suspected plane wreckage in the field.
On the morning of March 26, a reporter from Chinanews.com came to the Yatang Group of Siwang Village, Tengzhou Town, Teng County, where the suspected aircraft wreckage was found. The discoverer was Huang Jianyi, a villager of Siwang Village.
80-year-old Huang Jianyi and his family are doing farm work in the fields. It is spring plowing, and farmers are busy planting rice in the fields.
Huang Jianyi said that at about 12:00 on March 22, he went to a field behind his house to look at the seedling fields and found a piece of suspected plane wreckage.

"When I was young, I raised dairy cows in Wuzhou City, and I saw parts that were dismantled from an airplane, so I could see at a glance that it was something that fell from an airplane." Although Huang Jianyi is eighty years old, his thoughts are clear and his speech clear.
He took the reporter to the place where the suspected wreckage was found and described it with a hoe on the ground.
Huang Jianyi said that the object found in the field was about 130 centimeters long, slightly curved, about 5 centimeters blue on it, and the rest were white.
The narrow part of the object is about three fingers wide, and the wide part is about five fingers wide. The damaged part can be seen rolled up with iron sheets and brown fibers.
"Although I knew it was a part of the plane, I didn't take it to heart until I told my relative Chen Zhuchang on the 23rd, and he immediately called the police." Huang Jianyi didn't know that a plane crashed nearby at first.

According to Chen Zhuchang's description, there is a row of hexagonal screws on one side of the item with a little pattern on it. It only weighs a few pounds when you pick it up. After breaking it by hand, it feels very tough.
He intuited that this thing should be related to the crashed plane, so he called the police.
Immediately after receiving the call, the police alerted the place where the suspected wreckage of the plane was found and took it away.
Afterwards, the Civil Aviation Administration and other staff came here to conduct a large-scale search and survey.
The Yatang Formation in Siwang Village is located in the southeast of Teng County, 12.6 kilometers away from Mozong Village, where flight MU5735 crashed.
According to local villagers, the roar of planes can be heard here every day, and planes can often be seen flying over the village.
