If you compare this plowing outfit with one of the steam gang plows which you have seen used or pictured, you can understand how far behind us China is in the way of agriculture. In fact, few farmers in China have animals to work. Most of the farm work is done by hand, and the fields are usually small. The Port Arthur section belongs now to Japan. Port Arthur is well known in history because of the siege it underwent during the Russo-Japanese War.
Japan also owns Chosen or Korea.
