Labor Accidents - Playing table tennis to pass the time, these men are all former employees of toy and computer factories in southern China and had limbs lost by machines while on the job. All were fired once the accidents accured and now live at the Zhou Litai low office in Loong Gang County, Shenzhen, China, where over 40 amputees await trials to seek compensation for their physical losses such as arms and legs. Labor laws are often never enforced in China where foreign companies seek cheap labor in order to make their goods before shipping them to markest in the West.
