So pretty
This book writes about the voices of migrant workers. The front part describes the difficult environment of migrant workers. Work-related injuries are common at work. The middle part tells about migrant women who must not do anything unethical in order to achieve their goals. The latter part tells about the author's experience of recording these stories with real experiences.
I wanted to say something, but suddenly I couldn't say anything. I currently work in a factory. The difference is that I am in Kunshan, Suzhou, which is closest to Shanghai. The same thing is that I worked in an electronics factory when I was seventeen. Finally, I learned CNC with friends, but I still wanted to escape from the factory. The factory made me lose my love for life, and I felt extremely guilty towards my wife and children.
I was a little touched by the insights and wanted to continue reading.
This is the phenomenon of an era.
Guangdong
Close the space and take a look at the economic data.
This is the real society, but now we worship success
Some words touched me instantly at a certain moment!
Author, are you married? Do you have a boyfriend?
I feel speechless after reading this
It was very real and full of feelings. It turned out that the factory looked like this, completely different from what I imagined.
Thanks to the author, this book allowed me to get to know a group of different people. After suffering like hell, perhaps they will be reborn in Nirvana.
