Special train caters to migrant workers By ZHOU HUIYING in Harbin | China Daily | Updated: 2021-05-07 09:03 Share CLOSE A train designated for migrant workers heading to plant rice seedlings stops at the Suihua Railway Station in Suihua, Heilongjiang province, Feb 27, 2021. [Photo/Xinhua]
A special train carrying more than 500 migrant workers left the railway station in Suihua, Heilongjiang province, on Thursday for the rice fields of the Sanjiang Plain.
Zhao Zhongshan, 50, who rents 37 hectares on Jiangchuan Farm on the plain, was waiting to pick up nine workers from the train and bring them to his farm. Last year, thanks to the migrant workers, rice planting was finished on schedule, and I had a good harvest, said Zhao. The profit from my rice farmland reached 120,000 yuan ($18,500). This year, I hope the transplanting of rice seedlings will go well and we can receive another good harvest in the autumn.
