"We are from other countries and need to work to earn money."

Allie, a 25 year old shop assistant, said.

At the end of April, Gao Min was hospitalized in the provincial hospital until he was discharged from hospital in May 21st.

Meanwhile, 3 shop assistants were diagnosed as formaldehyde poisoning and began to receive treatment.

Yesterday, Gao Min and other 3 people went to Jinniu District Labor Bureau to do industrial injury appraisal.

At present, 3 people like Gao Min occasionally feel uncomfortable.

Yesterday afternoon, they went to the clothing store to ask for wages and medical expenses for -7 months in May.
