Music-loving farmer on the right note with eggs

LANZHOU－Playing in bands, writing songs, growing walnuts, raising chickens and bees－life seems to be full of possibilities for Wang Lei, a 26-year-old farmer with a passion for music.

Wang lives in a small village of Zhouqu, a county with a population of 142,800 in Northwest China's Gansu province.

A typical morning for Wang starts with the hum of bees from the beehives, the cluck of chickens and the sound of wind. "The sounds of nature make me feel euphoric," says Wang.
