A migrant worker known for literally opening up his chest to prove he had occupational lung disease finally received the compensation he had been demanding.

Zhang Haichao said yesterday he was very lucky to finally be compensated thanks to media exposure.

The 28-year-old on Tuesday received 615,000 yuan ($90,000) from Xinmi-based Zhengzhou Zhendong Fireproof Material Factory in Henan province where he used to work and where he developed the occupational lung disease pneumoconiosis.
