(250821) -- SHENZHEN, Aug. 21, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Zou Meng (L), a courier, watches a cartoon with his wife and daughter in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, Aug. 19, 2025. Expensive rent and substandard housing arrangements have made it difficult for workers from other places to reunite with their family in Shenzhen. In order to solve the difficulties faced by them, Shenzhen launched a reunion apartment project for four kinds of groups, including truck drivers, ride-hailing drivers, couriers and takeaway-delivery riders who work full-time here. They can apply for a free apartment for one month to reunite with their family.

Han Guangbin, a ride-hailing driver from east China's Shandong Province, and Zou Meng, a courier from central China's Henan Province, are qualified for the apartment. They have reunited with their family in Shenzhen this summer thanks to this project.

According to the data as of Aug. 19, nearly 100 households have moved into the project apartments and reunited. (Xinhua/Mao Siqian)
