(230427) -- YULI, April 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Arkin Reyim pushes the mulching film aside to let the cotton shoot come out at a cotton field in the Bax Mali Village of Yuli County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 22, 2023. Arkin Reyim is a 51-year-old cotton farmer with more than 300 mu (20 hectares) of cotton fields in the Bax Mali Village of Yuli County in Xinjiang. Arkin's courage and unique vision has prompted him to start growing cotton in 2004 when he got married with his wife Hasiyat Kasim. Since then, Arkin has devoted himself into the cultivation of cotton for over 10 years, thus making him an experienced cotton grower in the county. In this year, Arkin bought the Beidou navigation system with 8,000 yuan (about 1155.5 U.S. dollars) to have it installed into his tractor, as a way to mechanise the growing process and improve efficiencies. Yuli County in Xinjiang is suitable for the growing of cotton due to its unique natural conditions. It has become an important co

          (231113) -- LHASA, Nov. 13, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yonten's wife milks a yak at a winter pasture in Dabug Village of Damxung County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Nov. 10, 2023. The county of Damxung, meaning "carefully selected pasture" in Tibetan language, is located at the southern foothill of the Nyainqentanglha Range, with an average elevation of about 4,200 meters. Each September, 33-year-old villager Yonten and other herders migrate north to the lower winter pastures, to escape from the extreme cold and oxygen deficit on the plateau. With the implementation of the housing project for farmers and herders in Xizang in recent years, shelters made of brick and stone, movable board houses that have replaced yak hair tents, along with the upgraded facilities of electricity and water supply, have made grassland life much easier at the winter pastures. As the owner of more than 100 yaks and over 200 sheep, Yonten's annual income is expected to reach 110,000 yuan (about 15,086 U.S. dollars) t
