Working in the Rice Fields!

Hakka Farming & Gongfu! (16.2.2024)

A post regarding the link between the farming environment, keep fit and Hakka martial arts. Of course, this is not ordinary keep fit – but body and mind conditioning linked to feudal and medieval warfare – primarily for self-defence as far as Hakka communities are concerned. The use of farming implements developed the strength of body and mind to fight-off oppression and tyranny throughout the ages! We develop the strength of the Bear and quiet endurance of the Ox!

Kim Jong Un - Farming - DPRK

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Visits Farm Machine Exhibition! (4.1.2024)

DPRK: The Glory that an Ordinary Farmer Received! (31.3.2023)

In December of that year (107-2018), ahead of the 4th National Agricultural Sector Experts Conference – the Respected General Secretary recalled the fact that he once stopped the car next to the rice paddy field in Iram-ri (on the road travelling through Yangdeok County) a few months ago – and learned about the rice crop from the humble farmer! He remembered that this was a paddy field where an ordinary Farm Unit Worker served the People as “Foreman” – assuring that the wisdom and ‘dialectical’ experience of age was responsible for cultivating the rice!

After this humble farmer explained (with great kindness) how he cultivated the field and cared for the rice (assuring a good harvest) – the Respected General Secretary “invited” this old farmer to “attend” the National Agricultural Sector Conference – considering he had proved himself an “expert”!

Tears of gratitude and passion flowed endlessly from the farmer – who was named “Dubollo” (두볼로) – an ordinary elderly man was given the honour of participating in the 4th National Agricultural Experts Conference – sitting on the podium! (End)
