Outside the Customs
by Wang Shiyue
About This Novel
When I got off work, Brother Liu, the security guard, said to me, Li Wenyan, a fellow villager came to see you in the afternoon and waited outside the door for two hours before leaving. I asked Brother Liu if the person coming was a man or a woman. Brother Liu said it was a man. If it's a man, it must be my eldest brother. My eldest brother is working in Dongguan. He has written to me a long time ago, saying that he would come to see me outside the customs. He said that the wages in Dongguan are too low. He heard that the wages in Shenzhen are higher and the overtime hours are not that long. He wanted to work in Shenzhen because he wanted to earn more money. I wrote back and said that jobs here are not easy to find. I heard that the wages in Guanhai are higher, but I have never been there. I have been working in Shenzhen for four years, and I have never been to Guannei. One is that there is no time, and the other is that there is no border defense permit. Not only do I not have a border security permit, I don't even have an ID card. I borrowed my ID card from a fellow villager.
