Subject: Human Boat tracker in China マヒキ
Boat pullers (纤夫 chien fu) are typical hard labours who make a decent living by pulling boats through shallow rapids or upstream in China. Most of them work naked as they have to go in and out of water. They do not have tight fitting swim suits. Normal clothes when get wet may obstruct their movement or hurt their skin. Some of the chien fu are women. As they have to track over rocks and rocky cliffs, their work cannot be done by horses or bulls.
