Mail delivered over sea

Shi Jinquan drives a boat to deliver mail to local residents, on Oct 11, 2011, in the Sandu'ao offshore area of Ningde, Fujian province. Shi, whose father was also a postman, has been delivering mail to the offshore area families for 14 years and has used up three boats in that time. Shi's salary is between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan ($156.70-313.50), which is much lower than the profit he could be making from aquaculture, but he said that he enjoys his job because everyone is friendly to him.
