However, Zhu is not alone — at least 20 migrant workers sleep under the same overpass with him.
Migrant workers and homeless people living beneath the city's overpass have attracted the public's attention after a migrant worker died below an overpass in Zhengzhou on Friday.
The cause of his death remains unclear, but the local Henan Business News quoted another migrant worker as saying that he had slept there for nearly a month and developed symptoms from the cold before he died.
He refused to go to a hospital for fear of high medical costs when an ambulance came twice to pick up him, said the report.
A female official from the publicity department of Zhengzhou civil affairs bureau said she knew nothing about the migrant worker's death and she refused to comment on the issue when contacted by China Daily on Monday.
Many netizens expressed concern over migrant workers who live under overpasses, and some netizens called on government to do more to help them.
