In the north of China, due to the difference of wheat ripening time in different places, some people who harvest wheat as their profession exchange income. Most of these people are strong, skilled and hard-working. These people are called Mike. The existence of Mike has alleviated the difficulties faced by the vast rural areas in the summer harvest season, such as tight time, heavy tasks and insufficient manpower. It is often these problems that lead to a bumper harvest year, but the yield and quality are reduced because of the untimely harvest. Due to the differences in maturity of wheat producing areas, such as generally maturing from east to west, some wheat customers are located in late-maturing areas, from north to south, from south to north, migrating and wandering like migratory birds, collecting all the way, and their own wheat is ripe when the wheat customers arrive at their doorstep; The other part is that farmers in early-maturing areas go to relatively late-maturing areas to harvest after harvesting at home. What they have in common is that in groups, including brothers, fathers and sons, and even couples, come to the wheat-producing areas to find someone to hire others to cut wheat, and exchange sweat for meager income to make up for the shortage of families or find a way out. People in the wheat producing areas call them "Mike". Mike usually takes a dry food bag, a sickle and indispensable bedding with him. China local chronicles recorded Mike at least in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Ten years after the Cultural Revolution, Mike disappeared, and it was not until the family contract system was implemented that Mike first appeared in the rural areas of Guanzhong.
