Gardener spends 20 hours on snake-infested tree
An aged resident of Qionghai in the flood-hit Hainan province was rescued from a tree last week after he had spent 20 hours amid snakes and mice, watching his land drown.
Zhou, who is in his 60s, was in his betel palm garden on the evening of Oct 6, when a sudden downpour inundated the property.
