On Saturday, coal miner Jiang Yongwei was looking forward to his 26th birthday, which he would celebrate in a week. His stepfather and ailing mother were proud of him and the hard-earned money that he provided for his impoverished family in this northeastern coal-rich city of Hegang in Heilongjiang province.
