Sichuan: New civil servants 'walk a mile' in villagers' shoes (1/4)

Newly-recruited civil servants of Wusheng county's tax bureau in Sichuan province transplant rice seedlings in Haizhong village with local residents. The municipal tax authorities ask their new-comers to live with and learn from local villagers during their probationary period to experience how life is like for villagers and listen to their concerns.
