- He started out wanting to be a better documentary producer. After four years in a university in Japan, Lee Xian Jie did not want to go home. Instead he stayed on to open a travel business. This seems an unlikely start to farm life. Yet today he grows rice and harvests tea in Ryujinmura, two hours from Osaka. In a village of fewer than 3,000 people, Xian Jie lives amongst septuagenarians who have loaned him their land for free to farm.
With the help of goats, chicken and wisdom from the ages, he is labouring to grow rice the old-fashioned way - sans pesticides, herbicides and machinery. But can the 33-year-old earn enough? Is this a sustainable way to live in every sense of the word?

Respect to the people behind the lenses who have to go through the uphills and downhills, river streams, and perhaps mud. I appreciate the hard work of the people behind the lenses.
So interesting! The place is serene and beautiful. Planting rice is not fun, tough work. Heartwarming to see the locals so welcoming to a Singaporean.
Real talk not easy to work in rice farm
Great respectable work by a young man who is living in such harmony with nature.

Great Content Good Work.👍 Thank you.
I wonder if indoor rice planting can work in Singapore as many countries are seeing rice plantation either destroyed by floods or drought and I hope Singapore can develop our own resilience through growing carbohydrates food here.
What a beautiful place. ❤❤❤!

He has his own TH-cam channel: www.youtube.com/@Ryunohara where you can see how it all started.
“You’ll take all day to do that”. Ahh it’s only in the trailer and not in the actual documentary.
Water rice cultivation is Thai 🇹🇭 and Vietnamese 🇻🇳 culture.
- Chinese Hans learned it from them. So did the so called "Chinese New Year."
Paddy fields did indeed originated among the Proto-Austroasiatic peoples, ancestors of Cambodians, Laotian and Vietnamese people, in a location just south of the Yangtze river.
But the Lunar New Year is completely different from Songkran, the Thai New Year.
And it would be disingenuous to say that Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year to be the progenitor, when many practices are very similar to Chinese, Korean and even Japanese new years, thousands of kilometres away.
And confucius is viet, Lai tze is viet, shang dynasty and Zhou dynasty are all viet. The Chinese qin character is viet, the heavens is viet my underwear also viet. I'm sure before viet, the Chinese use psychic power to communicate, their spears, arrows and bows all float and move on their own will. The fire can talk and think and will benevolently appear in the night to help the Chinese. I'm sure the Chinese before viet were all LLM agents and they move by simplistic prompts. I'm sure before the viet the world was in darkness and everyone are npc. When the viets descent into earth, all the npcs get an upgrade and they automatically become sophisticated robots who are indistinguishable from viets. The viets are Adam and eve and the rest of the universe as re creates in their image.
I'm sure of it.
So radioactive
😆 Rice that may glow in the dark ?

what do u mean??

2-7-2023 The income of foreign workers has been greatly reduced.
They can only rely on instant noodles and vegetables for a living.
Ngoc, a Vietnamese engineer living in Osaka, is planning to return to Vietnam.
Due to the depreciation of the yen and increased inflation, his income has been greatly reduced.
In Japan, everything from groceries to electricity has risen sharply in recent months. Ngoc can only survive on vegetables, eggs and instant noodles. I used to spend 10,000 yen a week, but now it costs 15,000 yen.
In the past, the monthly electricity bill was about 20,000 yen in winter, but Ngoc paid twice the amount last time, and the average salary in Japan has been frozen for 20 years. Meals are also a luxury now. I only go to the supermarket when they are on sale. purchase.
Pretty soon he will quit as it is a tough job and doesn’t pay well.
XJ, So you become farmer in Japan for 10, 20 years? What about your own parents, siblings, your country? No obligation?
Passion is one thing…. Your loved ones may need you more. Consider Do something more useful to your country.
Others will never treat you as one of their own. Esp in Japanese culture
Singapore need us for what?? wasting time for national service?
well singapore is equally xenophobic so i guess it doesnt matter where he is
Well hopefully XJ escapes completely from the IQ shredder that is Singapore.
