Xiao Shao, 23, is from Nanyang, Henan. Now he works as a security guard in a parking lot of a hostel. Recently he wondered why more and more people were wearing mask.

After work, he searched the Internet and got the answer — the hazardous PM2.5. The parking lot is like a draught. Sometimes he has to hide behind the rails to stay from the chilly wind. He does not worry about the hazardous pollution at all and replies ironically that I cannot feel contamination with the freezing nose. Now, Xiao Shao is thinking about changing his job.

Yesterday, he was on duty in the chilly wind until 11 p.m., but he said it did not matter whether there was fog or not and he was just hoping for a place to work and live in the big city.
