Highway maintenance team on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Fang Yongsheng, 48, in his dorm, Oct 15. Fang has worked on the fifth road maintenance team on Que'er Mountain for five years. He currently earns 3800 yuan ($620.38). In 2009 he asked road management to transfer him from a road maintenance station at a lower altitude to the current 4,889 kilometers spot, so as to earn 800 yuan more per month. He said his daughter is about to graduate from college and may need money if the job market is tough. [Photo by Feng Zhonghao/Provided to chinadaily.com.cn] Read More
