Dedicated to the jungle

Pu Fuqiang earns just 300 yuan ($44) a month and sees his wife and children just once every few weeks, even though they are just a few kms away. He also lives in the middle of a remote forest where it rains nine months a year ... but for all his troubles, he has no complaints. Pu is a reserve patrolman and, remarkably, is well off compared to his fellow villagers in Luchun county, bordering Vietnam. "The average annual income of people in our village is only 700-800 yuan a year," he says.
