摘要：Like many Indonesians, Darmono has
only one name. He was born about 64
years ago (he’s unsure). He does know
he had three formal years in an elementary
school and then he was on the land.
But Darmono (pictured here and on
page 34) is no longer a farmer. Two years
ago he reluctantly sold his land to a
businessman and decided to quit farming.
On what was once irrigated paddy growing
three rice crops a year is a factory making
concrete pipes.
The factory that now uses the land
Darmono sold employs more people and
generates more income than his farm ever
did. So this story could be labeled Economic
Success.
