Since father was fired by the local government in 1998 summer, he had to climb mountains to fetch the tree's segments, because he did not have other working skilles or professional certificates.Gradually the special tree was hard to find. So he helped a man to reap the pine's cream to get some money, this man's brother was working in the local forest farm and he could be authorized to get the creams of some pine trees through this relationship, he employed my father to help as he could not cover all the trees.I did not accompany him to do this job but 1 know the basic steps. The main course is to cut an scar on the surface at the lower part of the trunk with a special-made sharp knife, the scar is V shape that the pine"s oil cream can come out into the bag or bamboo bottle which hung at the end of the V. lt requires to enhance the surface's scar each day if the weather is good, otherwise the cream would out emerge out again. Every 15 days when the collecting device is full of cream, it needs to pour the cream out into one bucket and carry them to the buyer.This job is hard surelly. It requires hidden force to cut the scar, there is no obvious way to walk in the mountains, the worker should carry the collecting heavy bucket constantly when collecting cream from each pine tree's bottle or bag.One day when I was failed to enrolled by the first batch of colleges for my big mistakes of applications in 2002 , 1 felt quite upset and said to father that i wanted to accompany him to reap the pine cream, He did not agree.
