A 64-year-old man surnamed Zou in Jiamusi, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, used his free time to build a 20-meter-long snow wall with the accumulated snow in the neighborhood on Tuesday, attracting onlookers. 

Zou, who worked as a tile mason for over 30 years, noticed that there was a lot of snow while clearing the ground in front of his house, so he thought of creating an interesting structure. It took him four to five days to build the snow wall in the shape of the Great Wall. He felt very proud as it not only exercised his body but also cleared the ground. Others praised it for being beautiful to the eye. 

Since November 1, cold spells have been active in China, and there have been two strong wind and temperature drop processes in the central and eastern regions. The northern regions have generally cooled down by 6 to 10 C, and there has been heavy rain and snow in the northeastern region and eastern Inner Mongolia. Many netizens expressed envy for Zou's strong body and loving heart, as he could find joy even during a blizzard. Other residents in the neighborhood also cooperated and took care of Zou's snow wall, expressing a desire to learn his skills: "To have such craftsmanship and enjoy the fun brought by the snow, his youthful mindset is adorable."
