Rapid Growth In Agriculture And And Animal Husbandry In Tibet. Zhoiga Yangjin (2nd, right) and the truck she bought in 1984. She is a peasant in Duilongdeqing County, Tibet Autonomous Region. Zhoiga Yangjin and 5 other peasant households together went in for agriculture, sideline production and trade in 1983. They earned a total income of 50,235 yuan (RMB) and each of them has become a "10,000 yuan household". For an individual to buy a motor vehicle is not a usual thing in the countryside. So other peasants in her township have come to congratulate her by presenting her a piece of silk "hada". Photo by ... Jhangei
