English

Su Jie — known as Ah Jie to friends and Ah Jie Mining to WoW players — is a twenty seven year old laborer who was injured on the job and is no longer able to walk for any length of time without tremendous pain. His employer is refusing compensation. There’s a legal case in the works, but justice is slow, and in the meantime, Su has a wife and son to feed, not to mention medical bills to pay. Back in early summer, a relative told his wife about ore mining in World of Warcraft. The two of them, playing in shifts, have spent 20-24 hours a day mining ever since, according to Mr. Su.
