There are diverse minorities in Yunnan. Their customs are varied. Some wear bright­colored costumes with belts, while others wear necklaces and other jewellery. For example, the Jinuo ethnic group has a population of about 18,000. Their native region is in the Jinghong area of Yunnan. They have an agricultural economy involving farming and fishing, their main crops being rice, maize and beans. Once on a journey, I saw a soul in the distance. He fastened an ox firmly to a tree, then took up the tools, a hammer and a spade, and set out to work. I found him a little lamb. I learned that he wanted to furnish his new house. Apparently, he was trying to adjust to the life. It was awkward for him to do such work because he was not a carpenter.
