Nanjing residents recover bricks for ancient city wall restoration

Residents of Nanjing, Jiangsu province, have handed in about 80,000 bricks over the past year to help the city government restore the ancient city wall.

In November last year, four wall-protection organizations asked residents to provide information about scattered bricks, which can be found across the city.

Many residents not only provided clues but also handed over bricks they had kept carefully for years.
