Sad Photos: A Family That Has Lived On A Refuse Dump For 20 Years! by Defcon1(op):
Fifty-year-old Mr Yang Shongshi and his 45-year-old wife have been living in a shack on a refuse dump in the outskirts of a town since 1995.
Mr Shongshi could not find work and his wife suffers from some disabilities, so they have no means of livelihood save for scavenging on the refuse dumped on the site.
They had all their children on the refuse dump and have been raising them there as well
They all have no official records or documentation, meaning they simply don't exist.

Nobody deserves to live this way.

In as much as they officially don't exist to the Chinese government, for the reason stated above, l still wonder why it took 20 years for their story to get to the press.
Thank God the Chinese government has now taken notice and trying to do something for them.
lt is a crime to see a fellow human being live like this and do nothing about it.

If we could all be like this in times of trial, life wouldn't seem so difficult.

Yet people that are far better than them keep grumbling.
If we could be content with what we have, life would be much easier.
