''He who does not work, neither shall he eat" These tough words fivmi the Constitution of the Peo¬ ple's RepdbJic of China summar¬ ize what one sees there Everyone works, in the cities and in the com¬ munes of the couritryside, ami 900 million people, even without nxxlem eqtripmenrt, aan do a lot of work.
