Ten years ago, Zhang Changqin, head of the volunteer association in Yanhu District, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, saw a sanitation worker eating a hard and cold bun with nothing but cold water on a chilly winter morning. The scene struck him deeply. At that moment, he decided to start a public welfare project -- providing free breakfasts for street cleaners.
