He has got used to taking off his work clothes, bathing and changing clothes before going home. Once, he went to the city to carry out the clean-up of septic tank, because there is no bathing conditions outside, he was forced to wear a taste of clothes to take the bus, the result attracted the whole car people strange eyes.

"The septic tank on Baiyun Mountain is the hardest to get." Li Yuqiang said that the 2003 center contracted the Baiyun Mountain Scenic area of septic tank clean-up work, Li Yuqiang was assigned to deal with Shingchun septic tank. Driving a dung truck to reach Shingchun doorway, Li Yuqiang and colleagues dumbfounded: Shingchun built in the mountainside, dung cart can not drive into, can only park in the Peak Park, the feces into the Shingchun. and the Shingchun septic tank is located at the bottom of the park, due to the gap is too large, septic vehicles not enough suction feces. "The machine is no good. "Li Yuqiang and colleagues hand bucket, the feces out after a bucket of barrels to the peak park transport, from day to night, before the Shingchun of the septic tank scouring clean."
