In the 1940s, the United States had its Rosie the Riveter. And now China has an updated version of its own heroic female worker - Wang the Welder.
Leading a team of 18 welders, most of whom are women, Wang Zhongmei, 36, devotes herself to the sometimes grueling and hazardous occupation - one she learned from her father, a skilled welder in his own right.
"Influenced and inspired by my father since I was a child, I found welding to be amazing work," she said.
