Wang Peng (1st L) and his colleagues work at a medical waste treatment company in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, March 26, 2020. Wang Peng, 35, has been working for the Wuhan Hanshi Environmental Engineering Company for 9 years, where he is responsible for the disposal and incineration of medical waste. Protection against infection is a major challenge that Wang and his coworkers face, as they work 12-hour shifts to cope with the surging workload during the COVID-19 outbreak. "I like what I'm doing," Wang said, "I'm not only making money for my family, but also making a contribution to the society." Wang has not been home for over 2 months. The most relaxing moments for him is when he talks to his family through video chat. "I'll come home as soon as I defeat the disease," Wang said to his son. (Xinhua/Fei Maohua)
