Ma Xuezhen, an agent of the census, has been kept busy by visiting nearly 1000 households in Hubin community, Hongze district, Huai’an city. She would keep visiting the community twice a day so as to gain a clear understanding of the economic conditions of the local enterprises and employees.
Ma is one of the 251 census agents working in Hongze district.
