On social media, multiple videos of Tianjin men and women diving in the Haihe River have been widely circulated, making places such as Shizilin Bridge and Bei'an Bridge on the Haihe River popular tourist spots for checking in.

Does "piece rate workers" have the right to paid leave? Does taking leave really mean there is no money to earn?
