A majority of white-collar workers in Shanghai told a survey they were envious of farmers because the latter could wake up with the rising sun and sleep as soon as it became dark.

Fifty-three percent thought farmers had a better life since they were not affected by air pollution, while 43 percent of them said farmers were lucky they could eat their meals on time.
