Those Years in Dongguan: A Love Story Between Migrant Workers

[Factory work + romance + striving] The story takes place in Dongguan in 1993. Back then, rural youths who failed the college entrance exam had only one option: go to work, which meant getting a factory job tightening screws. Du Qingming, a country boy, got a job at an electronics factory through his cousin's introduction. His cousin warned him: “You can date the girls at the electronics factory to stave off loneliness, but don't think about marrying one and bringing her home.” Du Qingming asked curiously, “Why not?” His cousin replied, “You'll understand once you've dated one!” This is a love story between a factory worker and a factory girl. I hope you enjoy it.
