"You didn't ask people near you? None of them know how to read?" Xiaoyun looked in disbelief at Ni Ping.

"Um... none of my friends or unit know how to read... All of us are construction workers from the countryside. We dropped out right before we got to high school." Ni Ping awkwardly scratched his head.

"I think around half of my units are illiterate."

"Really?" Xiaoyun asked to make sure he heard it right.

"Yeah, really. Most of them were just construction workers or factory workers in the past." Wuli explained.
