Against the backdrop of lines of densely grown poplars are the ubiquitous sunflowers plants growing wildly and randomly in Northwestern China. Northwestern China is settled by a quasi military organization called Bingtuan in Chinese, literally meaning military- like battalions. My in-laws belong to this kind of organization as countless many families in this area. When they first came to this region , there were nothing here but Gobi desert and mosquitoes. It was these brave men and women armed with nothing but shovels and their bare hands who converted this arid land into fertile farm fields over the years.
