In June, in Pengyang county of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, the red and yellow apricots are hanging among the thick green leaves, swaying gently between the boughs. “The plums are still green, but the apricots are already red. The lotus leaves around the city wave in the breeze." The sweet aroma of summer floats through the apricot groves and sweeps through the hearts of the farmers. The golden yellow of the apricots is reflected in their eyes, and their sweetness imprints on their hearts. The joy of harvest carries the hopes of the year. Several trucks loaded with the flavor of Pengyang drive away to bring the fruit to people of far-off places.
