This story took place in the summer of 1989. At that time, I was still a sixth-grade student in elementary school. I was so skinny that the teachers would shout "Jiujiang" when they saw me.
Our city is pitifully small, but it is famous in China's non-ferrous metal industry, because it also has a name called "Tindu". Our factory is located in a place called Baisha Chong, 20 kilometers away from the city. The place names I mentioned are all listed on Baidu. If you want to know more, you can check it out. It is also easy to check the name of our factory, because there is a large state-owned factory in Baisha Chong. The same applies to the place names I will write about in the future. I have said that these are my own personal experiences. I just want to find an answer and do not want to make them up.
