Zhang Chao Feng is from Henan province, China. He is more of a hands-on kind of guy.

And the construction worker for Singaporean contractor, Hexacon Construction, considers himself resilient.

“I made this hat myself. I used cardboard and the hardhat. All by myself. I just cut a hole,” he said.

Genius. Resilient people like him who work a backbreaking 12 hours on the job in the elements of South-east Asian weather know what to do to make shit work. And it cost nothing.

Meanwhile, he’s helping put together a footpath for residents in the neighbourhood of Kembangan, Singapore.

“You like my hat? Oh, thank you,” he said, smiling.
