My great grandma was a rice farmer in Bali.
She worked from dawn to the afternoons under the tropical sun. Even when she was pregnant.
According to my grandma, my great grandma was forced to farm for the Dutch and the Japanese during their occupation.
She doesn't talk about it, but I know the rice paddies repusled her.
My great grandma died knowing that her grandchildren and their children do not have touch a rice paddy in order to survive.
That her great granddaughter can only imagine.
