Chinese Farmer Builds Home-Made Glider

Here’s a video that’s been circulating the internet which shows a Chinese farmer (I’m not sure how they know he’s a farmer since we can’t even see his face in the video) taking off, flying and landing his home-made glider (or plane, if you want to make it sound awesome).
