Man finds calling in crematory

"I am a naturally brave man and always like to try something that others dare not do," said Cao Lianxing.

The 51-year-old from Changshu, Jiangsu province, has worked in a crematorium since 1997.

"I tried several jobs after retiring from the army, but none lasted. When I saw they were hiring cremators, I was a driver and felt bored. Why not have a try, I thought," Cao recalled.
