Abstract
China’s first peasant aircraft owner has appeared. His name is Guo Yuanying and he runs a specialised peasant household in Zhao hamlet on the outskirts of Zhengzhou in Henan Province. Even after his rise to riches he did not forget his fellow villagers, spending 19 500 yuan on a Honeybee 3 aircraft which he has presented to the local village government authorities to be used for fertiliser and pesticide spraying in the whole village.
