  25. <p>People work hard in China.&nbsp; On every side there is evidence that
  26. they have done so for thousands of years.&nbsp; The fruit vendor rearranging
  27. his produce after each sale to make an attractive display, the chatter
  28. of bargaining in the free markets, the groaning loads of coal, pipe, brick,
  29. and recycled cardboard in every sort of conveyance from the semi-trailer
  30. to the horse cart to the back of a man, all add to the background din of
  31. large machinery and hammers creating new towers to add to the Beijing sky.&nbsp;
  32. These are the sounds of today and they were the sounds of Beijing when the
  33. Ming dynasty rebuilt the city in its own image.
