Here, villagers intentionally leave half the persimmons on the trees for the birds in winter. In the mountain villages of Shidian, Yunnan, an old local variety of persimmons has ripened. While harvesting, the residents make a point of leaving the topmost fruits for the gray finches and tits that have traveled from afar. The birds feast freely, sharing this winter sweetness with the villagers—a tranquil and heartwarming portrait of ecological harmony.
