Section 84: Ladang Geddes
Rubber Plantation in the Morning Light... At three in the morning, weary rubber tappers begin their day's work Scattered lights accompanied by the chorus of cicadas and frogs Day after day, year after year Working under the stars, with days and nights reversed Lush and orderly rubber tree forests Providing livelihood for the people, contributing to the country's economic development
