Huang Zhibin, a 20-year-old vocational school student, grew up in a single-parent family and is spending his break trying to make money to support his mother and himself. He talks about how, as a part-time paper boy, he has to work seven days a week in the glare of Guangzhou's long, hot summer.
Do you know what the temperature is today?
Yes, the maximum will be 36.5 degrees Celsius. I read it in the newspaper.
How long has it been this hot in Guangzhou?
I heard it was a new record for the city but forgot exactly how many days it has been. Twenty days? At least more than 10 days.
So why did you become a paper boy in summer?
