dc.descriptionThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.
dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: The whole dream job concept is relative. Just ask Yu Bao Ping or Lou Ya and her husband Ou Zhi Sheng. They are part New China's new toilet attendant vanguard. Yu Bao Ping was happy to trade the backbreaking labor of farming for toilet cleaning. Lou Ya and her husband are grateful for the steady paycheck and rent-free accommodations: The couple lives in a tiny room attached to one of the luxurious public lavatories built for the 2008 Olympics. For these three Beijing residents, toilet cleaning represents security, stress reduction and a steady income. Wouldn't those three things make anyone feel "flush"? #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsui
