Happiness is said to be only real when shared.

Showcased at the third annual 2020 Farmer's Harvest Festival in Ding'an County of Hainan Province is a photo exhibition titled "Happiness in Farmland, Bright Future in Ding'an".

The exhibit features a group of photos of local farmers expressing their true happiness from good harvest and poverty alleviation in various fun forms. From a farmer singing in the field using a corn as a microphone to another cradling a jackfruit as her child, each and every picture is unique and stops viewers in their tracks. There's even a photo of farmers-turned-boxers wearing Chinese sticky rice dumpling "Zongzi" gloves!
