Wei Jianguo woke up surrounded by a sea of travelers, like he does most days. His face was flushed red from heavy drinking the night before, and he had no idea what time of day it was.He slowly got out of a bed, which he made from a worn-out blanket and black down jacket, and ignored the questioning looks from the people seated around him at Beijing Capital International Airport.Wei, who is in his late 50s, has lived on and off at the airport's Terminal 2 for almost 10 years. Except for the occasional clear-out by security workers or police, his life is pretty routine.Every morning he visits the nearest morning market to buy six steamed pork buns and a bowl of porridge for breakfast, some food for lunch, and a bottle of baijiu - the Chinese white spirit - to kill another day at one of the world's busiest transport hubs.I can't go back home because I have no freedom there, he said, referring to the house where his wife lives with her parents in Wangjing, an area about 20 kilometers from the airport.My family told me if I wanted to stay, I had to quit smoking and drinking. If I couldn't do that, I had to give them all my monthly government allowance of 1,000 yuan ($150). But then how would I buy my cigarettes and alcohol?After 20 years working at an internal combustion engine factory, Wei was laid off in his 40s. He said he had some temporary jobs, but was fired for being too old. At the point, he decided to give up looking for work.After falling out with his family, he began sleeping at railway stations and at the airport. He settled at Terminal 2 as there's nowhere warmer than here, he said.He is not the only one who calls the airport home. A senior sanitation worker who gave only his nickname, Monitor Zhao, said about five or six people are living like Wei. The youngest, who has been around for at least a year, is notorious for playing Chinese opera too loud on his portable radio, he said.Another sanitation worker, surnamed Bai, pointed out the man, who looked in his 30s and was wearing a purple hooded sweater and a blanket with a reindeer pattern. He usually just wanders around looking for food or is on his phone playing games or watching movies, she said.Bai said she suspects some of the airport residents may have mental health issues. She said one woman has been sleeping near a restroom for a few months and regularly spills water from the drinking fountain on the floors, and there is also a man who spends most days sitting in a corner, his legs crossed, staring blankly ahead.When China Daily talked to the man, who lives at Terminal 1, he said he remembered nothing of his life before arriving at the airport. Beside him was a trolley filled with bags of clothes and other supplies, but he refused to be called a homeless person.Everyone comes to the airport to be somewhere else, he said.I am going somewhere else, too. I'm just waiting for my plane ticket.In the eyes of sanitation and security workers at the airport, Wei and the others are now a part of life. As long as they don't cause a disturbance, we have no right to report them, Monitor Zhao said.Shortly before Christmas, police asked Wei to leave the airport and drove him home to Wangjing after a viral video that showed him eating noodles in the terminal's waiting area. Within days, he had returned.I get expelled, lay low, and then I come back, just like old times, he said. At least I have my freedom in the airport.Qiu Weiyi contributed to this story. wristbands canada

Doctors and administrators at a major hospital in Hefei, Anhui province, are facing punishment after investigators discovered widespread medical insurance fraud.Employees at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine have been forging hospitalization expenses for familiar patients to bilk money from the national health insurance fund, Xinhua News Agency reported.Evidence of the violations was uncovered by an investigation team comprising officials responsible for social security, health and traditional Chinese medicine.Provincial authorities have pledged to bring the involved institutions and individuals to justice as quickly as possible, Xinhua reported.Similar cases of medical insurance fraud in the past have resulted in doctors losing their license to practice as well as hospitals being removed from China's health insurance program, which can drastically affect the number of patients they receive.On Jan 18, Xinhua reported that many doctors in the hospital forged examinations, diagnoses and hospitalization records using patients' health insurance cards, often in cooperation with the patients.In a typical example, a patient would visit the hospital for a common disease that requires only a simple medicinal remedy. The doctors would hospitalize the patient on the record but actually they would be discharged to return home.In this way, the hospital can get money from the national health insurance fund for the hospitalization expenses without any actual services or overnight stays involved. In return, the doctor writes up prescriptions for whatever medicine the patient requests.According to regulations, 90 percent of drug expenses incurred during hospitalization will be covered by the insurance fund.Patients can ask for drugs for other family members at just 10 percent of market prices, or even sell leftover pharmaceuticals to middlemen who then flip them to the uninsured for a healthy profit.Many patients leave their health insurance cards with doctors who will swipe the cards at regular intervals to renew the patient's bogus hospitalization. The doctors also give cash to some key patients.The government will strengthen supervision over the use of healthcare insurance and use digital methods to monitor treatment and avoid illegal collusion between patients and doctors, according to the Xinhua report.?
