1,600 People Die Every Day in China from Working

Li Jianhua a Chinese bank regulator figuratively worked himself to death. After 26 long years of putting the cause for other people’s party first, the 48 year official died on a heart attack rushing to finish a report before sun came up.

 Since the China’s growing economy booms, they were facing epidemic of working too hard. 600,000 people in the country die from toiling too hard every year, this was the report given by China Youth Daily a state-controlled Radio in China.


A certain micro blogging website was filled with complaints about press reports on people who worth to death, “What’s the point of working overtime so you can work to death?” a question raised by a web user.


In China, working in overtime is considered as virtuous performance of the worker, but until which lengthen one will have to give up one's life? Seems the answer to the question is very simple”until the very end”.
