     Yang Xiaoyun, an industrious young peasant in Hubei Province, turned a sizable profit last summer by selling more than five tons of grain to the state. […]
     Two years ago, the new policies were adopted at the Yanghe commune in Yingcheng County, where Mr. Yang was a production team leader. […]
     The newspaper said that at least 110 bicycles were to be sent from Shanghai to Yingcheng County every year but in fact most if not all were sold before ever reaching the county.
     In response, local authorities in Yingcheng County have promised that any peasant who exceeds a quota for produce - for example, twoand-a-half tons of grain or four pigs - will be entitled to buy a rationed item, such as a Shanghai bicycle or a sewing machine or building lumber and tiles.
