oops, the Chinese characters didn't hold on FR. It should read as follows:

"the farmer was later given a whopping 10RMB as a reward for his find. If he's still alive today, I wonder what he thinks about the 90RMB admission fee that is charged at the gate of what was once "his" farm land?

Thanks for the ping.
Actually, that farmer has done quite well. When I was in Xian visiting the Terracotta Warriors three years ago, that same farmer was in the gift shop signing autographs and adding his John Hancock to coffee table books. Something tells me that he isn't struggling for money.
