Before going out to work, I had a lot of imagination about Dongguan. These imaginations are based on the few words I heard. It's just that I ignored the hardship, and instead gave a lot of flying poetry. I even virtualized a structure called Zhang Ji Toy Factory.
In my imagination, Zhangji Toy Factory is an enterprise consisting of three factories and one dormitory building. The factory is backed by the main road and there is a river flowing happily on the left. The factory has bright lights every night and the machines are working day and night, making continuous contributions to the development of China's GDP.
In reality in Dongguan, there is indeed a Zhangji toy factory, which is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise located in Chashan Town, Dongguan. My aunt's daughter, my cousin, works as a clerk in Zhangji Toy Factory. During my three years of high school, my performance in other subjects went from bad to worse except for Chinese. I had no intention of learning and surrendered to fate early.
In a communication with my cousin, talking about my future vision, I revealed the idea of going out to work. My cousin was originally just An Wei me, so she said by the way, if she couldn't pass the college entrance examination, she would take me to work in Dongguan. Since then, I have been engraved in my heart, and talked to her about this from time to time. During the Spring Festival of the second year of high school, my cousin returned to my hometown and provincial relatives. She couldn't stand my repeated entanglement, so she promised that when the college entrance examination was over, she would take me to the south when she went home for the Chinese New Year. At that time, my cousin had been working in the toy factory for three years and was a clerical worker in the office. Arranging one or two people to enter the factory was no longer a problem for her. Before that, she would introduce jobs to many fellow villagers every year.
The college entrance examination came as scheduled, and I really failed. This was originally expected, but I didn't have much sadness, on the contrary, there was a kind of relaxation that relieved the pressure. There are still a few months before the Chinese New Year. I have nothing to do all day, and I paint many pictures about part-time work. I have to admit that for a girl who has not experienced the cruelty of life, the South and the Toy Factory exude a charming romantic temperament.
Out of curiosity about unfamiliar things, I arrived at Chashan in the first half of a month. I have a keen interest in everything in the toy factory, such as stretch, supervisor, beer machine and exit permits, showers, dating and paydays, egg fried rice, fried snails and Dongguan rice noodles. New terms have inspired my endless interest.Even the tiredness of working overtime until 12 o'clock in the morning, in my opinion, also has a poetic light.
The hourglass of time will filter out all the good things. Take off the package of the gorgeous coat, and life will show its true colors. As a member of the factory, you know that life is cruel, and you must accept it.
The toy factory is like a huge container, devouring the youth and sweat of workers, as well as our dreams and future.
The employees in the toy factory are almost all young people. Most people are between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Most people have not read many books. Many people have dreams in their hearts, but in the struggle with reality, they will soon raise the white flag to surrender. They looked confused and at a loss in front of the life they knew at a glance. Yes, I used "them" here. After all, female workers account for most of the toy factory. In terms of the number of men and women, women are the absolute main force in toy factories.
What's more, we come from all corners of the world, far away from home, homesickness and loneliness, poor working environment, nights working overtime, no future confusion, if we can't find an exit, and he is not independent and strong enough, Japan Repeated tedious work day after day, he will become a veritable tool man.
Fortunately, there is love.
The handsome men and women in the factory are in their prime time of chatting and laughing. They hardly need to talk too much. They meet each other. They don’t need to know the past or talk about their interests and hobbies, as long as they don’t hate them. Embracing each other hand in hand, lingering to the end of the world. With the nourishment of love, no matter how bad the work environment is, no matter how hard and tiring the work, the boss's arrogance, all will be nothing.
However, falling in love in a toy factory is the right of a few people. Because love is one-to-one, and the ratio of men and women in the toy factory far exceeds this ratio.
When we mention electronics factories, the first thing that comes to mind is female workers. It is undeniable that electronic factories are the world of female workers. The reason why the electronics factory has a good impression in the minds of migrant workers is due to the clean and orderly environment of its workshop. This is determined by the attributes of the product. The production of electronic products has high requirements for the working environment. When customers place an order, they will personally send personnel to inspect the factory beforehand, which is called factory inspection. The age, quality and living conditions of employees areAll have relevant requirements. For this reason, whether it is a workshop, a canteen, or a staff dormitory, the conditions of the electronics factory rank second to none in the manufacturing sector.
However, in terms of the ratio of men to women alone, toy factories are on par with electronics factories. As a labor-intensive enterprise, the ratio of men to women in Zhangji Toy Factory has reached a staggering 1:10. Many years have passed. This data should be my conservative estimate. In Zhangji Toy Factory, the beer machine department is dominated by male workers, and the proportion of men and women in the packaging department is half. However, the number of people in the beer machine department and packaging department is extremely limited.
Zhangji Toy Factory has more than a thousand people, while the beer machine department has only a dozen people; the packaging department has a little more, but there are only more than 30 people. The parking space department and the handicraft department are the big heads, and the number of men and women in the parking space keeps two to eight. The handicraft department where I work is the largest department in the toy factory.
After many years of playing in the toy factory, I have a better understanding of this industry and I have also made many friends in the industry. The truth of the matter is that not only Zhang Ji is the case, but also in towns with large numbers of toy factories, such as Dongguan Changping and Chang'an , the ratio of males to females is the same in other toy factories. Zhang Ji is the epitome of the toy industry and represents the state of the entire toy industry.
There are clouds in the old saying that things are rare and expensive. As a rare species in the toy factory, male employees are treated as treasures in the toy factory. Don't talk about being handsome or talented, as long as you are not lacking hands and feet, and are not mentally retarded, as long as you are a man, or seem to be a man, even if you don't take the initiative, girls will take the initiative to pursue you. So, please stop talking about a girlfriend with a bowl of fried noodles . I just hope that we can look at the emotional dilemma of female workers with a more sensible perspective.
As for the former factory girls are pure and beautiful, but now girls only have money in their eyes. I don't agree with this view. Because these two eras have different backgrounds, they are never simple and crude to compare. I hope that today we can take a more rational perspective to care for women and the emotional needs of female factory workers.
is a little far away.
Continue to talk about Zhang Ji Toy Factory,One year before I entered the factory, something happened. There is a sturdy woman who is actually not very old, but her body shape makes her age bluff and is artificially enlarged. A 19-year-old girl was regarded as a 25-year-old aunt.
This aunt is filled with spring breeze in her heart, and she is fascinated by a male worker who has just entered the factory. She tried her best to write love letters to send fans, but the more enthusiastic she was, the more scared the male worker. That silly boy finally got a chance and was lucky enough to enter the factory, thinking that he could live a happy life from then on. As a result, the appearance of this fat aunt shattered his dream. After spending a month in the toy factory, Zhang Ji escaped overnight.
It is undeniable that when the workers retelled this story, they made many modifications. They have always lacked joy, and this story provides the best source of joy.
No matter how exaggerated this story is, it is hard to conceal the fact that the employees of Zhangji Toy Factory, male workers can hug left and right, while female employees are destined to be the beauties in the palace and can only hope for a certain day , I was lucky enough to welcome the emperor's favor and turn her card.
If someone else’s story is not enough to explain the problem. Then my personal experience is enough to explain everything.
Three months after I entered the factory, I met a beautiful sister from another province. She said she was my sister, but she was only three years older than me. However, my sister has been working in the toy factory for three years. In three years, my sister was still on the same spot, she didn't become a wife from a bitter wife, and she was still doing ordinary work. That's all, she doesn't care. But one thing, she can't care less, at her age, she yearns for emotional comfort most.
There are no men and women in their young age who do not desire to be in love together. However, in the south of the 1990s, workers contributed themselves to the factory and used their youth to win GDP for the motherland, but they sacrificed their youth. In a toy factory, even if you look good, you may not necessarily be favored by male workers. After all, there are too few male workers, and your dazzling brilliance may not be noticed by him.
Besides, when he is already in love, it is always a shame to turn to your arms. Such things are not uncommon in Zhang Ji.Why are there too few male workers in toy factories? They would say that this is an opportunity given by the times.
Let’s continue talking about the sister I know. Of course, she is not as good as a fairy, but most of the female workers in the toy factory are pretty and unremarkable. It shines brightly, especially the figure, it is even more delicate and pretty. If I were not a girl, I would even regard it as the person I like. It's a pity that the eyes of the male toy factory workers do not know what kind of female ghost hooked them away. It happened that such a beautiful and beautiful sister kept the vacant room alone for three full years.
If you have to find a shortcoming, it is not without it. My sister's stature has fallen a little bit, she has a head lower than the average female worker. This is an arrangement of heaven, and it cannot be amended and cannot be made up for. But her hard work in the day after tomorrow will even make you feel that if you use her two points of diligence, it will be nothing to do in college entrance examinations for fame.
Don't talk about other things, just talk about her dressing up.
Beautiful sister loves beauty, and she especially likes to buy clothes. Every time she is paid, she will definitely go to Chashan Town for a whole day to visit all clothing stores. Once, she saw a girl in a neighboring factory wearing a skirt, and she never forgot it since then. After finding a rest time, I went to the stone pai and Dongkeng near Chashan to search, because she had searched for Chashan a long time ago. However, this search still found nothing.
A woman is a happy person. The beauty of her sister has not attracted the attention of male workers in three years, and she has no other social channels. In the end, she had to resort to the dating information in the magazine. She published a friend message in a part-time job magazine, and it seemed to have spent fifty yuan, because I helped her draft her message.
One month later, the magazine was published. In the next half month, she received letters from several pen pals, and she showed me every letter. She is good-looking, but she is not good at organizing her speech, let alone writing or writing articles. It can be seen that God will not bring all luck to you. If you want to open a window, you must close another door.
She picked a few letters and asked me to reply in her tone. Go back and forth and continue to communicate with the two male pen pals.When correspondence is exchanged, there are also missing pictures of both parties. In the end, my sister chose a gentle-looking person who looked white and pure and looked like a literati to continue the relationship. The other one stopped sending letters, and that person would understand.
As the number of letters from the two increased, so did the private words. As a result, it was inconvenient for my sister to show me the letter as it was. When replying to the letter, I could only organize the language based on her retelling, imagine it, and reply to it.
Another month has passed, and I won’t need to reply to my sister’s letter. Because the pen pal offered to meet, he wanted to visit her in the toy factory. My sister was very moved and thought that true love was in front of her. Although she was afraid of picking up the pen and the handwriting was crooked, she still decided to tell the truth.
So, she personally wrote a letter, and explained what I had previously ghosted. At the end, she made an appointment and asked him to come and meet him at the store in front of Zhangji Toy Factory. It can be seen that my sister really used her heart and believes that the person is worthy of life. After the letter was dropped into the mailbox, she looked forward to the wonderful moments of meeting him every day.
My sister looked forward to wearing Qiushui, but could not hope for that happy moment. The man missed his appointment, and he has never sent any letters ever since. She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong. That was my beautiful migrant sister, the closest time to love. But the love that is so close at hand has become a joke in the mouth of the factory employees.
After half a year, my sister has been living in the shadow of failure. Before long, she returned home depressed. At the end of that year, I had a phone call with her. On the phone, she seemed to have forgotten the pain of Zhang Ji Toy Factory, because she was going to be married, and the other party was a farmer with a stout body and not much different from her. In sharp contrast to her, one of them was as white as snow, and the other was as black as charcoal. The white one is her sister, and the one who looks like coal is her man.
I screamed for her. On her terms, didn't I violate myself? Later, I learned that my sister’s marriage was the result of a change of marriage. She also felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't tell. However, this is no longer the content of this article, so let's not extend it.
When I hung up the phone, I clearly heard my sister's laughter from the microphone. Regardless of the future, she finally has love, which is always a fortunate thing.And my story in Zhangji Toy Factory has just begun.
