Migrant buys house in city he helped build

Migrant construction workers help build all the skyscrapers in China's big cities, but they typically cannot afford to buy an apartment in any of them.

Bao Guohua, a 51-year-old carpenter from the small Hubei province village of Xiao Gan, bucked the trend. After 35 years of toil, he finally bought a house of his own in Wuhan.

Bao left his hometown at age 16. Bright and diligent, he soon became a skilled laborer, which initially paid him 1.27 yuan ($19 cents) per day.
