跟随麦熟一路北上，父子农机手忙收割
As China's summer wheat harvest hits full speed, a father and son are on the move across the country. They are part of the migrant harvester operators who follow the ripening crop from south to north. The pair began in Hubei in late May, when the wheat fields turned gold. Now, in mid-June, they have traveled hundreds of kilometers to Shandong, where vast fields are ready for cutting.
Each day, the duo climbs into their combine harvester before sunrise. They work long hours to cut wheat for local farmers with small plots. The father knows timing is critical, as rain can harm the grain. Their machine can reap a hectare in under an hour, a task that once took many hands all day. After finishing one village, they drive to the next ripening area.
