Man finds' cool' job has sweet benefits

JINAN－Liu Qingnian may well be envied by many for having a "cool" job－his main assignment is to eat ice cream.

After graduating from Jiangnan University in East China's Jiangsu province in 1969, Liu, 75, spent more than two decades conducting research on edible natural pigment.

In 1997, he started to work at Jinan Qunkang Corp, based in Jinan, capital of Shandong province, engaged in ice cream research and testing, and now he is a chief engineer.
