Chinese farmer Gao Xianzhang looks at two baby-shaped pears growing in plastic moulds in a pear tree at his farm in Lianghexia village, Hebei Province. Hao uses the moulds to shape the pears and sells them for about 50 yuan apiece. They are meant to resemble a magic "ginseng fruit" said to give eternal life in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West. Photo: IC
