Spinning Silk

Hetian (Hotan), North West China along ancient old silk route

This lady, from Hetian in China, spins silk from silk worm
cocoons for 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. She is very happy compared with
the average Uhguir woman from the Xinjang region; the Chinese have allocated
her a job.
