In 2010, there was a documentary called "Women's Dormitory" , which was filmed by reporter Qi Xiaoguang in a local women's apartment with a daily accommodation fee of only 2 yuan. However, this documentary, which took 5 years to produce, is still in the director's computer. On the website of

, 1,648 people scored .5 points , which is a kind of expectation for the movie. Although the main film cannot be found, the keywords such as "women's dormitory" and "2 yuan per day" are still easy to arouse public interest and make people imagine.

However, reality is often cruel. This women's apartment with a room with an area of ​​less than 10 square meters hidden near the labor market is another world we cannot imagine.

.

Qi Xiaoguang Director was originally a reporter for "Frozen Point Weekly". In 2005, he came to the labor market in Jilin City. There are more than 20 small apartments, big and small, hidden in the alleys here.

, and the longest operating time and cheapest charging is the "2 yuan women's dormitory" opened by Sun Erniang. As long as you are a woman and pay 2 yuan, you can stay here for one night.

Women's Dormitory is located on the second floor of a 7-story residential building in Building 1, East City Business District, . It is said to be a "women's Dormitory". In fact, middle-aged women in their forties and fifties lived, most of whom came from the countryside.

Most of them are abandoned by their relatives. They are neither helpless nor old, have poor sex, have no special skills, and cannot get social security. They can only rely on the remaining little strength to stay in the city to work to make a living.

Each room in the women's dormitory is not large in size, but more than 20 women are squeezed into it.

There are high and low beds next to each other. The younger and more powerful ones can climb up and down and sleep on a cleaner upper bunk; while the older ones can only sleep on a lower bunk.

These beds are uneven due to disrepair. They need to place something under the foot of the bed to maintain a flatness.

The bed is covered with patched and dirty bed sheets. Because the women who are staying in and out frequently, the previous person has just left the store and a new person has moved in. The bed sheets often become dirty without time to change them.

The landlord of the women's dormitory is Sun Shiqing . The women who live in the accommodation call her Sun Erniang. She is just like Sun Erniang in the novel, both fierce and smart and capable.

Sun Erniang divorced her husband when she was in her 30s and lived independently with her son. She first set up cigarette stalls in the labor market, and it took 6 years to set up a cigarette stall.

Later, Sun Erniang saw that many women working nearby were worried about not being able to find a place to live, so she thought of opening a women's dormitory here that specializes in accepting women's accommodation. I only stayed in

on the first night of opening, but due to the low charge, the place became popular quickly and it was full in less than half a month. When the customer was full, some people even put the box to get up to bed to sleep.

Since it is a small business, Sun Erniang did not dare to hire anyone, and she would do the daily cleaning and hygiene of the women's dormitory by herself.

In the eyes of the sisters who stayed in, Sun Erniang is a stingy woman who "falls into the eyes of money". In order to save electricity bills, she would ask the dormitory to turn off the lights before 8:30, charge the mobile phone for 5 cents, and use the washing machine to wash clothes for 2 yuan.

Sun Erniang also has a "unique skill", which is to often go outside to pick up some old clothes and shoes thrown away by others, take them back and clean them, and store them in her own small house.

When the collection is full, she holds an "exhibition" and sells these stocks to the guests for a few dollars.

In addition to these, Sun Erniang is a kind-hearted person. Among the sisters who are sick and need money to be treated, she will take the initiative to pay for it, just hope everyone is safe.

Sun Erniang also helps everyone find jobs. Sometimes she brings a few sisters to the city to advertise, and each person can earn 65 yuan in a day.

The highest income was when Sun Erniang took everyone to a cement factory to plant trees. She could get 95 yuan a day, which made the sisters happy. Sun

Erniang is such a cute person. She is stingy and seems to have only money in her eyes, but she tries her best to help and take care of everyone. She hopes that every sister can find a way out and live a better life.

.

The most powerful among the residents is a woman named Zhang Yanmiao . She has lived here with her 17-year-old daughter Wang Fang.

When Zhang Yanmiao's husband passed away, his daughter Wang Fang was only 2 months old, and the thatched houses and farmed land they lived in were soon occupied by relatives. At the end of his life, the stubborn Zhang Yanmiao brought her daughter to the city to work.

Zhang Yanmio has a thick figure and looks very strong. She has always been popular in the labor market and has done all kinds of dirty and tiring work.

Wang Fang has been following her mother. She went to elementary school in the countryside at the age of 7, but she dropped out of school until the second grade. Now at the age of 17, she is so graceful, but she has begun to be repulsive of the life in the women's dormitory and does not want to return here.

Wang Fang believes that the people here only have money in their eyes, which is too vulgar, so she found a job in a nearby restaurant, and was in the restaurant, and wanted to leave the women's dormitory.

However, Wang Fang likes to go to Internet cafes and feels that she can only find herself in the Internet world. Whenever she is at the end of her life, she has to come back here and have dinner with her mother.

2-year-old Fang Shuzhen , was kicked out of the house by her husband who ate, drink, gambled at the age of 48.

She has lived here for 8 years and is now dizzy and can only do some dirty and tiring work, such as going to the hospital to serve the elderly in the hospital, taking care of 20 elderly people every day, and earning 1,000 yuan a month.

Fang Shuzhen has two sons, but she cannot share the difficulties of life for her. Instead, she often asks her for money.

The eldest son has a difficult life; the second son has tuberculosis, and his daughter-in-law has skin cancer, and he still owes 100,000 yuan in debt.

Although Fang Shuzhen is very sad in her life, she still has to save money and use the little money she has saved to help her two sons.

In order to save money as much as possible, Fang Shuzhen often only eats one flower roll every day, and then deals with it with a little pickled vegetables or tofu brain, and does not dare to eat meat.

Someone advised her to find another wife, but Fang Shuzhen lost confidence in all men because of her husband's infidelity. She always thought that when she was so old that she would just commit suicide and not cause trouble for her two sons.

The one with Fang Shuzhen is the best relationship with her, Wang Shuqin , who is as hard as her.

She got married at the age of 17 and gave birth to two sons after marriage. Due to frequent domestic violence by her husband, she divorced at the age of 34.

html When Wang Shuqin was 136 years old, she married a man in Tonghua and gave birth to another son, but the man filed for divorce because of his poor health.

Wang Shuqin asked her youngest son to take her surname, Wang Haifeng, and relied on farming in the countryside to raise her son.

Later, Wang Haifeng dropped out of school before he finished elementary school and went to work in the city. Because Wang Shuqin missed her son, she sold her house in her hometown two years ago and came to the city to find a job. She has been living in Sun Erniang's women's dormitory.

The sisters in the dormitory all envied Wang Shuqin because she had two sons who were officials in the city.

But Wang Shuqin knew very well that both of her sons ignored her and usually hid if they could. Even if she was sick, she didn't take it seriously, which made Wang Shuqin feel very disappointed.

What is different from Fang Shuzhen is that Wang Shuqin really wants to find another partner to have a home so that she can have a settlement in her later years.

But she couldn't find a good partner in the city, and felt that there was no good person around her, and they were all unemployed people.

Most of the women living in women's dormitories are middle-aged women over 40 years old. They each have complicated life experiences and are not allowed to come here because they are abandoned by their families. Although their strength is insignificant, they work hard to live a decent life.

Qi Xiaoguang took a photo here for 5 years, and the accumulated materials are enough to play on TV for a week.

He used these materials to cut a trailer for several minutes in 2010, but unexpectedly it caused a lot of response after it was put online. Later, Phoenix TV made an "Walking in Greater China" program, and the host Yang Jinlin found the women's dormitory and conducted an exclusive interview.

This episode attracted a lot of attention from the society after it was broadcast, but in the end, Qi Xiaoguang gave up the production of this documentary.

Therefore, this documentary that was scored by netizens was only Yang Jinlin's interview program.

In the trailer of "Women's Dormitory", there are also faces of working people such as Da Zhang, Lao Guo, Ma Dajie, Xiao Shitou, Lao Xiao, Lao Pang, Xiao nun , etc., but we have no way to know what kind of story they have.

Today, Sun Erniang in the women's dormitory and the women who live in the accommodation are still cared about by many people.

In 2020, the editor of a news account, Xiaoxi , took a car for more than 10 hours and found this women's dormitory.

Surprisingly, now the "women's dormitory" has been changed to "men's and women's dormitory", and the room fee has also increased from 2 yuan to 5 yuan. Sun Erniang, who is already in her 60s, still has not changed.

In the past 10 years, Sun Erniang's women's dormitory and the local labor market environment have changed greatly.

As the demand for home nannies has also increased, many of the women who originally lived in the dormitory have found suitable housekeeping jobs through the agency, and fewer women staying in it have been accommodated.

So Sun Erniang rented the house next door on the same floor as the women's dormitory and changed it to a "men's dormitory". The fee is 6 yuan per night, and the business is much better than that of the women's dormitory.

In addition to migrant workers, there are also young people who come to stay here to stay in Internet cafes. Sun Erniang set a rule that he is not allowed to drink in the dormitory, and he is not allowed to live with alcohol.

Xiaoxi is also concerned about the people who appeared in previous reports. According to Sun Erniang's description, the people who stayed 10 years ago all died.

The remaining women who can still work have found their own way out. For example, Fang Shuzhen, who is unwilling to get married, got married two or three years ago and is living a happy life now.

Wang Fang reached the age of 30 and married a man who worked in a nearby chemical fiber factory; Wang Fang's mother Zhang Yanmio borrowed 100,000 yuan from her sister and paid social security, and she could soon receive her pension.

Although Zhang Yanmiao's life in her later years was guaranteed, she still had to work everywhere and work hard to repay the borrowed money.

Zhang Yanmi is a microcosm of those strong women in the women's dormitory. They had to come here because of their tragic experiences, but with their own efforts, they finally found a way out and regained the initiative in life.

.

In early December 2020, this female dormitory was closed and redeemed by Sun Erniang. She was unwilling to reveal why she didn't want to continue to operate it, but only said that it was because of her health and wanted to take a break.

And the group of women who still live in the dormitory have also scattered from then on.

Although the women's dormitory no longer exists now, we see hope. The development and progress of society provide more opportunities for development for those vulnerable groups, allowing women like Zhang Yanmiao, Fang Shuzhen, and Wang Shuqin to find a way out. Even if they do not rely on it, they can get a decent life through their own efforts.

Most of the women who once lived in women's dormitories were forced to the end of their lives. This is a safe haven for them to settle down and hide from the wind and rain. For them, since they want to live, it takes a lot of effort, but they are still optimistic and can proudly face the cruelty of life by wiping away their tears.
