Job search proves a tall order
( 2003-11-12 17:36) (China Daily)
A 2.1-metre tall man has been having trouble finding a suitable job, reports
Henan Daily.
Cai Pingyi, of Xiongzhuang Village in Zhumadian City, Henan Province, has
been a strain on his family's meagre finances since he was 10, due to his size
and hearty appetite.
Having received just four years of education, Cai found work in Zhengzhou in
early 1999 as an explosives discharger at a building site but was eventually
replaced.
He then worked as a builder, but his boss never paid him on the excuse that
Cai ate twice as much as others.
The 25-year-old man has sought help from an employment centre. "I'm just
looking for a relatively stable job - I don't mind if it's hard or not - to earn
some for my family and for my younger brother's education," he
said.
