Too heavy for her

Hong Kong

The elderly should be enjoying their retired life. Instead, most of them in Hong Kong are still earning their living by picking up and reselling used paper boxes. They cannot escape from the burdens of life. This kind of work is too heavy for them but they've no choice!

To earn a living or to pass the day, they know the best. But this situation is better than do something harmful to the the society and mountaining the sin.

It's true... :(
Some people work, a lot !!!! a lot !!!! everyday.
Ive seen many old people who work for living, or others because they want to work.
It's like... Being so used to work and keep doing it until forever.
Big respect for these persons.
