Factory Turmoil: I Turn the Tables by Studying Law

After six diligent years working in a factory, Guo Yong has always believed that hard work brings fair rewards. Reality, however, has repeatedly doused him with cold water. Endless overtime, unfair rules for assigning work, no appreciation for keeping his head down and getting things done, and constant trouble whenever he disagrees. Having seen the truth of his situation, he refuses to keep giving in. He joins forces with coworkers in similar circumstances, gets to grips with obscure labor laws, and quietly gathers solid evidence. Rather than causing a scene or recklessly picking a fight, he uses the rules as a weapon, navigating the complex relationships on the factory floor. In a workplace as mired in trouble as a swamp, watch an ordinary worker make careful moves and set things right. In the end, he leaves the familiar factory behind and sets out on a brand-new path in life.
