"So beautiful, I can hardly believe my eyes!" passersby exclaimed, amazed by a series of photos showing sanitation workers in formal-wear. The photos were recently exhibited in the Dazu district of Chongqing, given the theme "Let beauty pass through our hearts." Held by the local forestry and parks department to express the city's gratitude to its sanitation workers, the exhibition gave 10 workers the chance to pose for complimentary photos.
"I never thought I could be that handsome, and I'm always so excited to see the photos. I will work with more passion in the future and I appreciate the care and concern," said Qin Liexun, a 59-year-old garbage collector. He has put his photos on prominent display in his home.
