Near Hezhou, the reporter saw a family of three living in a container, collecting waste and working for a living. Two rooms are used as sleeping rooms, and there is also a room for storing miscellaneous items. The kitchen and toilet are built separately next to each other. According to the owner, Aunt Yu, they have lived here for more than 10 years. They used to build iron houses and were often demolished as illegal buildings. In the end, they had to sign an agreement with the village committee to rent the land and spend more than 10000 yuan to buy a container and convert it into a house. Aunt Yu said, "We have covered it with a layer of wooden boards and iron sheets, and living here is warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable
