(220422) -- SHAWAN, April 22, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Ili Mehmet's wife Hernipam Kurban checks on the plastic mulch in their cotton field in Shawan, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 19, 2022. Ili Mehmet, 50, lives in Shawan, a major cotton-producing area in Xinjiang. During the sowing season in spring, farm works were carried out mainly by hired mechanized planting teams. But Ili Mehmet still spends his spare time in the 700 mu (about 46.7 hectares) of cotton field he contracted with his business partner Duan Zhizhong, learning new planting techniques from others. Besides working in the cotton fields, he also takes care of more than 100 sheep raised at home. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
