  K.L.Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer

  Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or “roadside beggar(乞丐)”.In his eyes, beggars are doing important work collecting rubbish.What they do is not dirty.Littering the street is, he adds.

  Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture.Married to a Chinese calligrapher(书法家), he lived in Huangshi, Hubei Province.

  Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish.“Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey.He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.

  Rothey says he’ll continue collecting rubbish, as long as he is able to.
