4-meter-high culvert, four 4 to ho, each class dug one meter every 12 hours, and then continued by the next class, 24-hour shift work, day advance 2 meters.
“bad dry, complex geological conditions, only workers dug by hand, not on the machine.” Said the head of the site, this section of the soil is gravel, can often see large pieces of gravel “The biggest boulders more than half a meter in diameter, to four workers can lift.”
tired? “Not tired.” According to Chin Lee’s picks no stop over, the dust flying under ho, just like clouds in the light, wrapped his stature, “dry used to it, say we want to ensure the schedule and quality, so that Beijingers drink Dan River, tired is not afraid. “accustomed to hard work, not used to hear his talk, but that’s very real.
