LANZHOU, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- A special labor market lies in Tanchang County, Longnan City of northwest China's Gansu Province. The farmers who plant Chinese herbs in the fields are the employers, while the employees are residents living in the towns.

In Gansu, where the rainy season runs from June to September, farmers need to weed their fields for the healthy growth of herb crops. Large fields and numerous herbs overwhelm farmers, so they hire workers to help them with the daily toil.
