Cleanup campaign restores Yangtze River habitat

One man's preservation efforts have mushroomed to encompass hundreds of volunteers and boost civic pride. Li Lei reports from Beijing, with Zhou Lihua and Liu Kun in Yichang, Hubei.

Get up at 5:30 am. Leave the house at 6 am and start collecting garbage on the banks of the Yangtze River. Finish collection at 7:30 am.

Li Nianbang, from Yichang, Hubei province, has followed this routine every weekend and national holiday for the past few years, no matter what the weather.
