Chen Hu takes notes in the newspaper room of the Hangzhou Public Library on Nov. 5. No one noticed that the 36-year-old was a vagabond. Chen Hu attracted the attention of a librarian a year ago after he came to the library to copy articles from the newspapers almost every day. Sometimes, he would smile as he read and made notes. Chen left Chongqing for Hangzhou a year ago to search for odd jobs, but since he could not find one, he ended up reclaiming recycling. Every time he comes to the library, he brings two plastic bags with him, carrying bowls and chopsticks inside.[Photo/CFP]
