600,000 Chinese die from overworking each year...

More than half a million Chinese die from overworking each year, reported CCTV news. China has overtaken Japan topping the charts with the largest population who die from overworking, reaching a total of 600,000.

Statistics show that the group is much younger and covers many industries, such as media, advertisement, medical care and IT.

The latest case revealed by media was a 24 year old engineer, whose only bad habit was overwork, and he died after working frequent overtime.

The news has been endless in the last few years.

Last year, zhaopin.com reported that more than half of 13,400 white-collar respondents do not exercise during work hours and over two thirds work more than five extra hours per week. Full story...
