A quiet man with little education, Yang Jiu did not land a permanent job during his three years in Dongguan. While taking care of his mother, he did odd jobs and earned a meager salary. They were on short commons because they couldn't afford to eat properly. Small and weak as they were, they did not attract attention in the bustling manufacturing hub of China until Jan this year. At that time, Yang had not earned anything for two months and had decided to commit suicide. [Photo/qq.com]
