Sanhe Dashen refers to migrant workers who are burdened with debts, have little contact with their families, work and play three days a day, and work in the Sanhe Labor Market in Longhua New District, Shenzhen, where wages are paid daily. They have no ideals. They make money today and spend money tomorrow. They live a life of no fixed meal and no fixed place to live.

This is the definition of this group of young people in the encyclopedia. Every word is ordinary, and every sentence is heart-breaking.

Extremely low desire for survival

Shenzhen has a long-circulated city slogan: When you come, you will be a Shenzhen native. But people who have stayed in Shenzhen have created a more noble saying: Shenzhen money and Shenzhen flowers, one wants to take home ~

This city is young and innovative, but also repressive and cold. With a floating population of nearly ten million, most of these people are just passing by. The "Sanhe Masters" may be the most special group of people destined to pass by in Shenzhen. Japan's NHK carried a camera and filmed a documentary "Sanwa Talent Market·China's Young People Earning 1,500 Yen a Day", which recorded this place and made the names of "masters" famous abroad.

Sanhe market is full of cheap hotels, cheap restaurants and cheap Internet cafes. Beds cost 15 yuan, noodles cost 5 yuan, and 1.5 liters of water cost 2 yuan. What is also cheap is the cheap labor force living in every corner.

They were all young people who originally came to Shenzhen with dreams and passion. They wanted to show off their talents and return home in glory. However, they did not expect that their will gradually settled in major manufacturers such as Foxconn, Samsung, Ping An, ZTE, SF Express. In a two-hour work system, the salary is three to four thousand a month, and the same action is repeated every day, with no hope and little hope.

Song Chunjiang escaped from the factory to Sanhe Market. He no longer wanted to stay on the assembly line and do mechanized work, but the flexible life around Sanhe Talent Market, where he could just work and run away after one day, met his needs. You are alive no matter what, so why live uncomfortably?

Song Chunjiang sold his ID card a long time ago, and like other great masters, he became the legal person of a leather bag company for a few dozen yuan, and then he ate noodles for four or five yuan when he was hungry, and lived in a Datong shop with wifi for 15 yuan a night - this is already a very good life, and it would be even better if he could drink iced black tea !

Their goals have never been given any possibility. They believe in the truth that " they can eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and they can also eat dried noodles. The ultimate goal is the same ", which makes their desire for survival extremely low. I don't know if this is considered maturity or depravity?

After a brief defection, he struggled again

Dongdong was once a left-behind child. He had no companions in his childhood, and no one told him what life was and what his future was.

He came to Shenzhen from the countryside to join his mother who was working in Guangzhou. However, because he was young and energetic and did not know how to communicate with his parents, the two soon had conflicts, so he came to Shenzhen to prove himself.

Dongdong first worked in large factories such as Samsung and Foxconn, and then quickly resigned. He knew early on how low the value of workers was, but he was only in his early 20s and had little capital and could not meet noble people. He didn't know how to balance the gap between ideals and reality, so he simply settled for a job. So he came to Sanhe and started working part-time.

Dongdong summed up his theory at the Sanhe market: " You can get wages after get off work every day, and you are free. If you find that the boss is not good, you can leave in time, which is also a kind of protection for yourself. "

There are many "Sanhe masters" like Dongdong. They are young and confused. They have imagined how beautiful the city where their parents are, where they can live in entertainment, but later they find that "getting rich through hard work" taught in books and taught by their parents does not work! So they temporarily gave up their fate as workers and found another way of survival in Sanhe Market, waiting for some kind of opportunity to start over.

Dongdong, who was just getting by, finally left Sanhe Market. He is going to Guangzhou to join his sister who works as a hairdresser. His new ideal is to be a hairdresser - Under the dark pile of dust in Sanhe Market, there are still many sparks that have not been completely extinguished. One day the wind blows and they are taken away.

The warmth at the edge of the dilemma

When a person is in a certain environment, his mentality will change with the surrounding environment, and he will do things that ordinary people cannot understand.

The "Sanhe Masters" look very Buddhist, but it is actually harder and harder for them to survive than others.

In the documentary "People in Sanhe", there is a "great god" Brother Tan who likes to work as a waiter in a star-rated hotel because the work is easy and the money is relatively high. 12 yuan an hour is enough for him to live for several days. In a star-rated hotel, Brother Tang, who is just getting by, can feel the huge class difference best: the dinner for the banquet costs tens of thousands of yuan, but he works from afternoon to early morning for only 84 yuan!

It was rare for him not to be Buddhist, and he cursed the exploitation of capital in the elevator. To make matters worse, on the way back, the hotel bus driver forcibly charged 10 yuan for the fare. Unwilling to pay, Brother Tan had to walk back to Sanhe Market overnight. They are the weakest group in the city, with no identity and no protection.

But only the disadvantaged groups can understand the disadvantaged groups better.

There is a noodle shop called "Shuangfeng Noodle House" in Sanhe Market, where a bowl of shredded pork noodles priced at 4 yuan supports many great people. The owner of the noodle shop, Yang, has not raised the price in nine years and will not even go home during the Spring Festival, fearing that many people will not be able to eat when he closes his shop. He has seen many young people who came to Sanhe Market to lie down. He watched them lose the light in their eyes little by little. They were anxious and had no choice but to help them with a bowl of pointy noodles to solve their stomach problems.

In Sanhe Market, there are also sugar cane worth one yuan, loose cigarettes worth fifty cents each, and a bag of melon seeds as big as a palm—these products that cannot be seen elsewhere in Shenzhen are tailor-made for the masters, so that no matter how embarrassed they are, as long as they have three melons and two dates, they can satisfy their appetite.

When facing the camera, Brother Tang solemnly stated his wish: to be a normal person, earn a living, and do charity.

When he was working as a temporary worker at a construction site, he was pierced by a nail on the sole of his foot. When he was limping back, he met a homeless man. He gave the homeless man ten yuan, which was almost his daily living expenses.

Some people are in the mud, but they can't help but help others to step on their feet and look at the light in the sky, making the cold world a little more warm. Maybe they are all afraid of this kind of life like a blind man crossing a river, and they all hope that someone can help them.
