Dozens of miners are buried in the well …” Our reporter drove down to Fenyang and found the village at around 4pm. In that village, most of the men have left to work elsewhere.
The coal mine workers came mostly from Shaanxi province. When the reporter attempted to ask for information, nobody would speak to him.
