High up on the cliffs of Tianzhu Mountain in Anqing, Anhui Province, a special group has been hard at work.
These are not regular workers –-- theyre the mountains extremely own beauticians.
From May 6 to 18 this year, their efforts have actually once again drawn attention.For the past 20 years, more than 100 sanitation employees, led by Tu Yousheng, have taken on the harmful task of tidying up litter and recovering lost products from steep, 1,000-meter cliffs.
Over twenty years, Tu has actually rappelled an incredible 2,800 kilometers –-- the equivalent of the distance from Beijing to Urumqi.Calluses cover their hands, and their clothes are frequently taken in sweat.
Yet day after day, year after year, they persist –-- silently protecting the beauty of Tianzhu Mountain and producing a clean, orderly environment for all who go to.
