Chongqing has changeable weather this summer and the sunny and heavily rainy scene can be seen in one day. Sometimes, he may meet a heavy rain in a sunny day and he has to move ahead in the rain.

Different from the “high buildings rising from the flat ground”, most of high-rise buildings in Chongqing are erected on the high mountains. As a consequent, people carry the goods with the primary tool – pole which can bear about 50kg with two nylon ropes.

Although the rider looks thin, he has eight abdominal muscles. His arms exposed under the sun for a long term turn blacker than his belly.

Bangbang (a group of bamboo-pole porters) was developed in the special geographical environment of Chongqing. However, as the society develops, we seldomly see the scene that Bangbang carries the goods by his shoulder but witness the birth of express delivery and rider – the other form of Bangbang.
