We successfully established the first paddy field in Shui Hau after about half a century!

By the end of November last year, we held a small-scale Shui Hau's first rice harvest da. Together with the villagers, we spent the better part of a day harvesting the rice and threshing the grain (separating the seed from the straw). After threshing, the grains were taken to be polished (the process of milling the brown rice to white), and then came the much-anticipated moment – mealtime!

????????‍????Villager A, harvested the rice with ease despite claiming to have not done so for many years.

"Thank you all so much – it feels like returning to the old days of harvesting rice!"

????????‍????Villager B, seeing some grains still clinging to the straw after threshing, carefully picked off each one.

"It's finally possible to see rice back in Shui Hau! Seeing everyone's hard work, not a single grain of rice can go to waste, each one is the fruit of labour!"

Looking forward to the next harvest! (continue to use shovels to turn the soil)
