国内英语新闻:Sizzling heat wreaks havoc in China, rains expected Thursday

2010-07-07来源:和谐英语
Despite the extreme heat, Wang Hongze, a 48-year-old construction worker in the southwest Chinese city of Nanning, said he would not ask for a day's leave. "I can't afford to lose 120 yuan (17.7 U.S. dollars) a day. I'm working hard to pay my son's college fees."

In Beijing, the government is mulling whether to raise the minimum allowance of those working in the heat from 60 to 120 yuan per month.
