Dirtiest Job Of The Week?

Wei Xinpeng is a man whose method of earning a crust definitely qualifies as dirtiest job of the week ..... he skulls up and down the Yellow River in China in his little skiff, looking for the bodies of those drowned or killed and dumped in to the  mighty river.


Its A Dirty Job, But Someone Has To Do It...

He was originally prompted to do it when one of his children drowned, and he never recovered the body for burial .... he then started looking for other bodies and then 'selling them back to relatives for burial. "I bring dignity to the dead," says Mr Wei, who goes to the temporary bridge where many bodies are caught up in the current eddies there .... if the finds one, he then posts notices in the newspapers and he charges relatives up to $500 if they want to take the body home (he has sold about 40 corpses in all) .... if they don't he buries them himself.
