The Peasant Games





The sixth annual Chinese Peasant Games have begun in Quanzhou.

"Peasants compete in the "60-metre snatch the grain and get it into storage" event in which contestants load a "harvest" of sandbags on to tricycles and sprint for the tape.
There is also the tyre pushing race and the "water carrying contest to protect the seedlings amid drought"
