Factory of dreams

A plant in Hubei's provincial capital not only produces local snacks but also hope for its workforce of 12 mentally disabled employees. Liu Kun reports in Wuhan.

While Dongfanghong Food Factory's 12 workers perform the same tasks hundreds of times a day, they must relearn how to follow these procedures nearly every time they perform them.

That's because the workers, ages 19 to 42, have IQs equivalent to children ages 3 to 5.
