A Visit to Guangming Farm Broadens Students’ Vision
Organized by the Student Union, a total of 30 students paid a visit to Guangming Farm, a local farm 50 kilometers away from our school on June 8.
Guangming Farm is a state-owned farm mainly planting crops, such as wheat and corn, and producing milk and dairy products. During this visit, the students saw the grand farmland and were deeply impressed by the modern agricultural technology, especially the fully automatic wheat harvesting operation. The trip culminated in a visit to a manufacturing process of dairy products. Mary, a student from School of Foreign Languages, said at the thought of agriculture, what had occurred to her was the images of sweating peasants laboring in the field under the scorching sun. However, this trip totally changed her stereotype on Chinese agriculture.
Through their personal experience, the field trip deepens college students’ understanding of the rapid social development, and will exert an ever-lasting influence upon their future study and work.
