Pushkin, Nekrasov, Dostoevsky, Gogol … What unites these great writers, besides the incredible power of talent? All of them were avid casino visitors and sometimes spent all their savings over a card game or a game of roulette. Addiction to gambling is a habit that not many people can part with. A prime example of how to overcome yourself is the story of life Chinese millionaire Qijang Zhang Yongqiang … The 39-year-old rich man has found a simple way to overcome addiction: instead of the casino, he goes to work! I also chose a difficult profession - I became a miner!
Zhang is a successful businessman, owner of a large supermarket chain in China. Several years ago he became addicted to gambling, but over time he noticed that he was losing too much. Overnight, he could leave up to 80,000 RMB ($ 12,700) at the casino without regret. However, four years ago he realized that such a lifestyle could simply ruin him. Zhang made a strong-willed decision to leave games in the past and took a job as a miner!
While working for a coal mine in Shihao City, Zhang did not advertise his earnings. Here he works like the rest of the miners for 12 hours a day in extremely difficult conditions. The business was gradually taken over by his wife and parents. However, the act of the wealthy workaholic did not go unnoticed for long: when local newspapers wrote about Zhang, colleagues at work praised his decision to engage in socially useful work, despite his savings!
Mine work is hard work: Zhang wakes up at 4 a.m. and takes a 12-hour shift, working at a depth of 7,500 m with a brigade of 12 who is considered one of the best! Colleagues note that Zhang is very hardworking, hardy and flexible. The millionaire himself is sure that the three years spent at the mine are the best time in his life!
It seems that the profession of a miner truly inspires the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire! Recently, an exhibition of the famous Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang took place in Donetsk. He presented an unusual portrait installation 1040 m undergraund, which tells about the difficult fates of Ukrainian miners!
