An elderly man manoeuvred his tractor through a village road, leaving a trail of smoke that seemed to mystically envelop the surroundings, captivating the onlooking villagers.

The CCTV footage was filmed in the city of Chongzuo in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on January 4, 2023.

The incident was captured by the surveillance camera at Wang's residence, and according to Ms. Wang, who was among a group of people chatting on the doorstep at the time, the distant hum of machinery drew their attention.

To their surprise, the elderly man emerged, propelling a tractor through the village, shrouded in a dense cloud of smoke. The spectacle left everyone in awe.

Wang identified the contraption as a field ploughing tractor but was puzzled by the unusually thick smoke. She speculated that there might be a malfunction somewhere, causing the unexpected atmospheric display.
