Repair teams from other parts of China are helping Sichuan rebuild its power grid. Some of the most experienced workers are from Hunan Province. They had to rebuild their own grid, after it was damaged in the snow storms just a few months ago.
Repair teams from other parts of China are helping Sichuan rebuild its power grid. Some of the most experienced workers are from Hunan Province.
Among the repair teams, this bald-headed group of men is always on the frontline. They are from Hunan, a region devastated by the snow storms earlier this year.
Li Wei, Hunan Team Leader said "We shaved our head to have less time for hair and can more focus on the repair work. Last winter, Hunan got helping hands from all round the country, and we think it's time we paid back the heart-warming aid. "Help comes from all directions, we're all doing the same thing."
The volunteers have their own lives and their own trials. Even though Doctor Zeng Weiping's wife is pregnant and needs his care, he joined the team immediately. He looks after the workers every day and also disinfects places to prevent disease. There are still more workers hoping to join the crew to help victims in Sichuan.
