On July 29, 2009 (June 8, 2009 in the lunar calendar), farmer Zhang Haichao opened his chest for a lung test. The incident of farmer Zhang Haichao's "open chest lung test" in Liuzhai Town, Xinmi City, Henan Province attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. On July 29, 2009, the open chest lung test of the migrant worker was identified as a work-related injury and has applied for disability identification. Zhang Haichao said: "The result of my running around in the past few years is for this proof. Now I have got it, but I still feel that this result has come too late. "Zhang Haichao, 28, worked in Zhengzhou Zhendong Wear-resistant Materials Co., Ltd., Xinmi Quliang Township, and later worked in a company in Zhengzhou. Since August 2007, he has been feeling unwell, with cough and chest tightness symptoms, and has been treated with a cold. In order to find out his condition, he went to hospitals in Zhengzhou, Beijing and other places to see a doctor many times. Many hospitals confirmed that he was suffering from an occupational disease -" pneumoconiosis ", but the qualified institutions identified his disease as tuberculosis. In desperation, Zhang Haichao could only" open the chest to test the lungs ", and the results showed that he did have pneumoconiosis, not tuberculosis. On September 17, Zhang Haichao signed a compensation agreement with the company, and he was finally compensated 615,000 yuan. Four of his co-workers also received a total of more than 1 million yuan in compensation from the company for suffering from pneumoconiosis. Zhang Haichao's other three co-workers, Wang Youcai, Shang Wenji, and Gao Shuiwu, were all diagnosed with stage III pneumoconiosis. Shang Wenji received compensation of 315,000 yuan, Wang Youcai received compensation of 317,000 yuan, and Gao Shuiwu received compensation of 315,000 yuan. Since Zhang Haichao, Ma Jianshan, Shang Wenji, Wang Youcai, and Gao Shuiwu have lost their ability to work, the Liuzhai Town Government has also handled the social minimum security for them, which will take effect from October. Zhang Haichao's body is currently recovering. He said that although his affairs have gone through many twists and turns, he is finally satisfied with the results. To his relief, several of his co-workers have also been compensated one after another. He said: "My family and I thank every kind-hearted person who has cared and helped me, and wish good people a safe life." Comments: Poor, Chinese migrant worker brothers
