Zhang Jiannong has been working the same cotton field in Tongxu County, Henan Province, for the last twenty-two years — a half-acre plot leased to him after the break-up of the People’s Agricultural Collective in 1982. He pays $27 a year as an "agricultural tax" on his plot, and no property tax for his house. All of the 400 farmers in his village in the Yellow River floodplain grow cotton on plots of roughly the same size in rich alluvial soil. Ancient irrigation canals still water the area. Heavy rains come in the summer.
