About This Novel

Coolie, piggy Chinese laborer, sister, child laborer... The names of the working class are now collective memories; in the past, they were the "human ladder" of blood and tears for Hong Kong to climb to the prosperous capital. Anti-French strikes, Yiwei Guangzhou uprising, rice-grabbing riots, the liberation of Meizi, seamen's strikes... One after another of the labor movements fighting for human rights. The "cocooned hands" put down their livelihood tools, picked up stones, and threw out the only "bargains of life."
