But even now, Zhang is still an odd figure among his co-workers.
"Usually, people are forced into this trade, and most miners tend to face difficult economic conditions and have a large family to support," said Peng Ming, one of Zhang's co-workers. "But we were shocked to know that he owns two large grocery stores and several apartments."
Zhang said he would never dare to get involved in gambling again, even with his relatives.
