When I say I live in Shanghai, people often go, ‘Ohh, in your expat bubble?’, without having the slightest clue how often I disappear into remote villages and places most tourists never set foot in. Sometimes, I don’t even book a place to stay, things just unfold on the way. Locals tell me where to go, where to sleep, what’s best… and those moments always lead to something magical. One of those memories was in Yuanyang, Yunnan, in a mountain village above the clouds, surrounded by breathtaking rice terraces. I stayed in a small local village far from the tourist lookout points, found my own secret spot, and soaked in the silence. I woke up the next morning, ready to fly my drone into the clouds and see the rice terraces from way above… But I crashed it. I was just that excited. Even the son of the host family I was staying with had a drone. He launched his to help search, flying over the terraces to try and spot mine. But the water levels were too high. He even went out on foot, trying to find it, until the rain came pouring down and made it impossible. So yeah… I lost the drone. But honestly? It was worth it. Sharing 3 photos and a video that still can’t fully capture the feeling. I'll share more about it but first, let’s talk about rice. My go-to, safest food. Always there for me when spice levels get out of hand. Rice is more than a staple in China, as the world's largest producer and consumer, it stands at the heart of the nation’s agriculture, economy, and cultural identity. 🌱 Agricultural Practices Rice planting begins in May, with harvesting in September. From November to April, the terraces are filled with water, creating stunning reflections and preparing the fields for the next planting season. The terraces utilize a sophisticated irrigation network that channels water from the forested mountaintops down to the fields, showcasing sustainable agricultural practices.​ China's rice production is integral to its food security and economic stability. While domestic consumption dominates, the country's agricultural practices, especially in regions like Yuanyang, highlight a rich cultural heritage and commitment to sustainable farming. National Production and Economic Contribution In the 2024/2025 period, China is projected to produce approximately 207.5 million metric tons of rice, cultivated over 29 million hectares, yielding an average of 7.15 tons per hectare .​ The rice market in China is substantial, with revenues expected to reach $163.77 billion USD in 2025, growing annually by 8.35% from 2025 to 2030. China is the world's leading rice consumer, with an estimated 145 million metric tons consumed in the 2023/2024 marketing year.​ The average per capita consumption stands at approximately 76.8 kilograms of milled rice annually .​ Major Rice-Producing Provinces China's rice cultivation is predominantly concentrated in the southern and eastern regions. Key provinces include:​ Hunan: Leading producer with approximately 26.65 million metric tons in 2023 .​Statista Heilongjiang: Notable for high yields, particularly in the northeast.​ Jiangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Fujian. The primary rice-growing areas are:​ Yangtze River Basin: Encompasses provinces like Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi. Northeast China Plain: Includes Heilongjiang and parts of Jilin and Liaoning.​ Southeast Coastal Areas: Covers provinces such as Fujian and Guangdong.​ Yuanyang Rice Terraces: A Cultural and Agricultural Marvel. +++

🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT APPEAL FOR GAZA 🚨 🍗🍚 Children are hungry — every single day Childhood in Gaza is not disappearing slowly. It is being consumed by hunger. Children do not wake up asking for toys. They wake up asking: “Is there food today?” Barefoot between tents and rubble, they do not search for games, they do not search for comfort, they search for one plate of food to silence the pain in their stomachs. One child waited all day. He did not ask for sweets. He did not ask for clothes. He asked for rice. He went to sleep hungry. 🍗🍚 In Gaza, chicken and rice are not a luxury. They are survival. They are strength for weak bodies. They are the difference between collapse and hope. That is why we are distributing chicken and rice daily inside the displacement camps — so children can eat real food, so mothers can breathe for one night, so families can survive another day. This week, three people refused to ignore the hunger: 🔥 Felix (GoliathFan1952) ✨ William Menaker (Will 🦥 Menaker) 🤍 Eyup Lovely (Eyup Lovely) Because of them, children smiled again. Because of them, plates were filled. Because of them, laughter returned — even if just for a moment. But the need is growing. And the food is running out. In Gaza today, a plate of chicken and rice is the line between a child sleeping in pain and a child sleeping with a full stomach. 🚨 We cannot stop. 🚨 We cannot slow down. 👉 Donate now to help us continue daily chicken and rice distribution for Gaza’s children. Your support today puts food directly into their hands.
