Facing the rising sun, conducting research

   Today was the first day of our research trip. After breakfast, we set off full of energy. Because the research topics covered a wide range of areas, we split into three groups.

  Our group initially chose to interview farmers in the fields, but because they were busy with farm work, many couldn't stop to answer our questions. Therefore, we had to change our research route to visiting villages. Persistence paid off; with the help of a kind auntie, we finally completed the first questionnaire.

  Just as we wanted to continue our visits, the weather turned bad, and a sudden downpour forced us to stay at the auntie's house until the rain subsided slightly before continuing our interviews. In the following days, we met a very cooperative uncle and a kind and friendly grandmother. They not only enthusiastically helped us complete the questionnaires but also specially invited us to their homes for a meal, making us feel truly welcome from the villagers. However, we also encountered some problems. For example, some villagers thought we were scammers and did not avoid us. There were also language barriers. Although we cannot completely solve these problems now, I believe that as long as we work together, these problems will eventually be solved!
