After a day of dirty work, several construction workers in Shenyang, capital of NW China's Liaoning province chose to sit on the floor of the subway rather than stain the available seats. A netizen in Shenyang posted photos of the incident online, which have since been viewed many times.

One viewer commented that the workers looked quite tired, and that some had even dozed off. Though she read about such behavior from construction workers in other places, this was the first time she had witnessed it herself. As a result, she was deeply moved. Another netizen called for people to invite the construction workers to sit down with them next time, making it clear they are welcomed in the city.
