Photo taken on Jan.4 shows Norbu, a villager from Pelbar village in Dingri County, Shigatse, makes Tibetan furniture. Now is the winter slack season in Tibet, which has always been the most relaxed time of the year for farmers, but this custom is quietly changing. The government has introduced a series of farmer-friendly policies stating that the slack season is to become the “busy season” for farmers in Tibet, as it will be used to study new techniques and enter the market. The aim is to bring specialty products to the market one by one in order to increase revenue and pave way to the dream of prosperity through hard work. [Photo/Xinhua]
