Foreign farmers come to Han to pick up "Shennong Jing" Indonesian female doctors learn to raise cattle

Last weekend, Pakistani youth Fahan crouched in the wheat experimental field of Huazhong Agricultural University, carefully watching the growth of wheat. Hubei is a major agricultural province in China, with strong strength in agricultural scientific research. in recent years, foreign students like Fahan who have traveled across the ocean to Wuhan to learn to be "farmers" have increased year by year. According to the statistics of the Department of International Cooperation of the Department of Science and Technology of Hubei Province, nearly 100 foreign students come to Han to seek Shennong Jing every year.

Indonesian female doctors learn to raise cattle

Sita is an Indonesian doctor from Huazhong Agricultural University, majoring in cow farming technology. One of her daily tasks is milking cows and taking samples for the study of cow antibodies. She is responsible for milking more than 20 cows in Huanong dairy farm.

"when I first learned to milk, I was very nervous. The cows were more nervous than I was, and often made them moo in pain." Sita smiled and said that since she had mastered the "cow temper", the more than 20 cows were as meek as sheep. In addition to raising cattle, Sita learned to grow vegetables and cook with his own vegetables.

In 2010, after graduating with a master's degree from Dibonigo University in Indonesia, Sita followed the recommendation of his domestic mentor to come to China for further study under the famous Professor Zhang Shujun of Animal Genetics in China. Sita said she plans to return to Indonesia to do research on cow genetics and breeding in the future.

Indian girls serve as "swineherds"

At the pig-raising base of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences at the Jiangxia Golden Sluice, there is an active figure of Uma, a 28-year-old female Indian doctor. In early 2012, Wuma successfully applied to the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences through online resume, engaged in pig molecular breeding research, and the laboratory and pig farm became the "main battlefield" of her weekly work.

At ten o'clock every morning, after arriving at the pig base, Uma changed into safety clothes and entered the factory after ultraviolet rays and spray disinfection in the isolation room to check the growth of breeding pigs. The factory is filled with the pungent smell of feed, disinfectant and feces. Uma is unconsciously busy and has become a competent "swineherd".

"I am full of curiosity about piglets." Uma told reporters that when she came to China to see tens of thousands of pigs for the first time, she was stunned and feeding pigs became her hobby. She signed a contract with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for two years, during which time her monthly income was more than 4000 yuan.

Pakistani boys grow wheat

"my country expects young people like us to bring back advanced agricultural technology and change the backwardness of our country's agriculture." In the Huanong wheat experimental field, the Pakistani youth Fahan expressed his lofty ideal of coming to Han to be a "farmer".

Farhan has been in China for two and a half years and is currently a third-year graduate student majoring in crop genetics and breeding in the School of Plant Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University. His major is wheat genetics and breeding.

In November last year, Fahan and his classmates sowed wheat in Huanong's experimental field, without machines, entirely by hand. Recently, as wheat grew up, Farhan and his classmates began to use plastic bags and cards to mark them.

Fahan says he likes to walk in the green wheat fields and work while playing Pakistani music on his mobile phone. "it was a wonderful feeling. I felt as if I had returned to my motherland and worked in the fields of my country."

"Fahan is playing with his life in the experiment." Chen Wei, a classmate of Farhan, told the reporter that every time the wheat matured, 6,000 or 7,000 wheat samples had to be collected and tested and analyzed. Farhan got up early in the morning and was late at night, sometimes sleeping only four or five hours a day.
