Overlooking the Dam site. Some of the lock channels are plainly in view	We visited a farm in Yichang. As we were walking up, the farmer's father was leaving to walk to a nearby cafe to play cards. He posed and left. I am not sure what he is smoking	The family at the top of the path to the farm, Yichang	Garndmother at farm, Yichang	The farmer, his wife and child. Life seems to revolve around the child, even on a farm. Being 'only' children, everyone hovers over the child. China offers an interesting laboratory in child-rearing which appears to have been overlooked so far.
The main bedroom on the farm. Boobs and guns seem to be a universal theme (see wall posters), Yichang	The kitchen. Farm, Yichang	The center of attention. Showing off driving a bike or trike, seems to be an almost universal instinct. Farm, Yichang	This lady was hauling water from the nearby water hole. I am not sure if she was family or an employee. Farm, Yichang	The response to getting cleaned up also appears to be universal. Dad watches the 'bathing' by ? 'Nanny' with delight. Farm, Yichang
Mother and grandmother head off to shop. Yichang	Plowing the fields. Small farm, Yichang
