Every day at 4 pm, what-ever the weather, Zhang Haiqing begins patrolling the river near his home in the Jianggan district of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province in East China. Zhang is unable to speak because he had his larynx removed after being diagnosed with cancer, so he communicates by writing messages on a type of magnetic drawing board usually used by children. He checks the river carefully and uses the board to point out areas of pollution or river cleaners who are not doing their job properly. He also takes photos and reports problems to the local authorities.
