Heart and Soul: My Qingming story

It was a hot summer day, and I was very tired. I had just clocked out at 22:00 hours at the food processing plant in the East Midlands of England. I had been working non-stop from 06:00 hours, completed my shift work at 18:00 hours and worked an additional overtime of four hours.

The factory bus picked us up and drove to the town to offload us. Unfortunately, I fell asleep due to tiredness. I managed to wake up just before the bus left the town, and got down.
