For many years, my father’s brother River uncle has been working in Guangzhou with his two Cousins, father and son stayed in a narrow space in Tangxia, and lived together for more than ten years.
Compared with Uncle River’s aimless life, cousin Yan Pei and vocational pei’s life goal is clear, simple and direct: to use physical strength in exchange for daily food expenses, so as to maintain the basic expenses of three people in Tangxia. Tangxia this yellow, gambling, poison so concentrated in a place, two Cousins almost did not fall into it, always adhere to do the most basic physical labor.
Yanpei, my cousin, was just three-and-a-half years old when my aunt died in 1984. In my boyhood impression, the most talked topic of the whole family was that the two brothers could grow up quickly, and the blind man took care of the children, which became the common wish of the relatives.
For my cousin yanpei, the way out of life is to work in the south. It was not until the Spring Festival of this year that I learned that Yanpei, a silent character, had stood alone on the top of a tall building, just like the hopeless migrant workers who often appeared in the “Guangzhou News”, in order to help his boss recover the project debt.
In the family, the term “motherless child” is synonymous with the younger cousin, Shipei, whose mother died when she was five months old. To this day, I still remember the night when I was ten years old, when his aunt, who had a low on his hand, died suddenly in the middle of the night, and there were the frantic and helpless footsteps of the whole family. My five-month-old cousin, crying for a long time in the middle of the night because of hungry milk, woke up uncle in the river.
As for the impression of Job training when he was young, I have no idea, or I have never dared to face his childhood when his mother lost her love. River uncle is not striving for strength, lost his wife that year he is only 26 years old, in the whole process of growing up cousin, river uncle powerless, also have no intention to carry the child lost maternal love childhood. Job growth is a mystery without witnesses.
In 1998, my sister-in-law’s younger son Li Xuan graduated from junior high school. Due to his brother’s drug addiction and his uncle being laid off, Li Xuan, together with his Cousins Yanpei and Paipei, set foot on the southbound train and became three disciples of Xiaoding’s cousin, despite growing up in Yueyang city.
The three brothers were about the same age and lived together every day for two years. Later, li Xuan returned to school at the age of 18 because he could not bear the heavy manual work and the rude food. At last, he was admitted to one of the two universities, and his life turned around greatly.
Yanpei and Zaipei continued to move from site to site in Guangzhou until 2011, when my father and Uncle Yao forced the two brothers to bring them back from Guangzhou to do business. Finally, their lives gradually went on the right track.
For culture, job from the days of youth more than ten years to grow, as if just to accompany uncle a blank life of the water in the river, in the bitter experience of life, the growth of the two brothers got unknown, but this kind of growth, always difficult to convert into years static good, in the time of running, they are really forgotten, miss individuals.
Yan Pei: The boss owes me money, But I owe the workers have to pay
During the 2016 Spring Festival, Yan Pei, Occupational Pei and Li Xuan came to my home to visit my parents according to the tradition of The Spring Festival. I decided to write about them. In order to better reconstruct their living conditions, I tried to quote them exactly.
In their youthful faces, I did not feel the heavy and tangled narration of rural topics. A kind of vitality from life itself is the source of village restoration.
Interview time: February 11, 2016
Interview place: Home, Guanping Lane, Miluo, Hunan
I went to Guangzhou for the first time in 1998 when I was 17 years old. Although my father had been in Guangzhou for many years, he didn’t tell me what I could do when I got there.
As a stranger in a strange place, I had to do odd jobs and carry people from the very beginning. At that time, you could carry a bag of cement to the seventh floor with one yuan and fifty cents. You could only carry three or four bags a day, which was too hard to bear and only enough to buy a fast food. Later, I worked as a laborer for 20 yuan a day, but I could only mix expenses. Sometimes I could not mix the money for meals. At that time, my father was only responsible for cooking and hardly made any money.
During this period, I worked with Shipei, Li Xuan and Little Ding Ge. We were all his apprentices. I remember in the first month of 1999, we work in the Zhongshan eight Road area, small dingge asked us if we would like to learn to decorate with him, because there is no temporary residence permit, follow him will be better, we promised to follow him to do. I learned things faster than Li Xuan. I could teach them quickly. After seven or eight months, I set up my own house.
Little Ding Elder brother too can calculate, silver elder brother (little Ding elder brother’s wife) more mean, buy dead pig head meat to eat for us everyday. Li Xuan couldn’t stand it and went back to school.
After I independent door, basically scrape 904 wall paint, do paint, it is oneself edge learns edge to ponder over, too complex also see do not understand. The job training is mainly for muddlers. Because I was too young and had no contacts, people did not trust me and the job training, so I was basically in the state of doing odd jobs. If you have a gray fan, you will fan the gray (dialect, architectural decoration terms). If you don’t have a gray fan, you will carry it. You can’t make much money doing carrying, and your body will suffer.
I was young, worked during the day, played late at night, and didn’t feel tired.
So in Guangzhou mixed for more than a year, my uncle asked me to come back and saw wood with him, followed my uncle for two years, say 600 yuan a month. When students get together, play and smoke, there is no money left at all.
In 2002, when I was nearly twenty-one, my uncle decided to send me to join the army because I was over age at twenty-two. In this way, I went to Korla, Xinjiang, as a soldier in the mobile unit. In addition to routine training during the day, I would also strengthen training on the second, fourth, and weekend, and sometimes maintain order. In 2003, Zhou Xun and Sun Nan held a concert there, and I was there to maintain order.
I do not regret to stay in the army for two years, the only regret is not seize the opportunity to learn to cook in the army, then nine squadrons, there are three places can be a cook, I have a quota, but I heard that learn to cook must stay in the army, because homesick, gave up the opportunity. In 2004, I transferred back to work, transfer fee issued nineteen hundred yuan, I remember the vice squad leader’s allowance is nineteen ninety-eight yuan a month. My uncle’s idea was that I should go into the army, become a volunteer, and see if I could work through another channel. But Xinjiang is too far away, there is no strong relationship, it is difficult to get things done.
In 2004, when soldiers demobilized, life returned to its original point. A comrade-in-arms called me to go to work in a factory in Dongguan, saying that there are 1,600 seven hundred yuan a month. Because did not have id card, did a false card to run in the past, did not think to go to the bank to open an account was found, the factory nature also did not enter into. It was easy for me to find a job as a security guard, but I didn’t like it.
At that time, the Wu police division in tangxia village asked me to go to Tangxia for patrol and public order management, it was 600 yuan a month, I felt mixed expenses are not mixed, did not go, was later scolded by the Wu police division, said not to give him face. It turned out later that the money spent on patrol and public security was not reported, and the income far exceeded 600 yuan.
Later, I came across the boss Sword elder brother whom I knew when I was learning craft with little Dingge before. He was very good to me, and he would give me some projects and businesses.
In 2005, I got to know a boss surnamed Dai in Xiangyin, who is also very loyal. He always introduced me and part-time job to me every time. I worked as a fan ash and part-time job as a mudder, and I never lost a penny. In 2009, he gave me another business, which was to decorate a large singing hall, called K2009. Because of the large amount of work, I asked him if he wanted to sign a contract before starting work, he said it was not necessary. To the end of the project, I found that the above money, wages can not be opened, but I still take people to insist on the completion of the project.
The little boss who introduced my business said that the big boss had run away and he was also owed a large sum of money by the big boss. At this stage, the arrears of wages of the construction team on my side reached more than 70,000 yuan. The main purpose of my work since then is to make money to pay back the wages of my construction team employees.
Although This matter let me eat very luckily, but up to now, I do not think that boss Dai cheated me, he suffered more than Me, can only blame my bad luck.
When things didn’t turn around, I told Boss Dai that the only way was to take the lead and start a riot. He was too timid to go, so I said, “Dai, if you dare not make trouble, I will help you. The only way to get the money back is to make trouble. Things became more and more difficult, I climbed to the top of the construction, with the threat of jumping off a building. At that time I was very afraid, afraid of their own accident, but things came to this step, can only do.
KTV boss was frightened at that time, did not think I would go to jump off a building, but finally trouble did not play a big role, the local police station will I caught down, the other side promised to give one hundred thousand first. I told Boss Dai, since the matter has been opened, do not easily accept the arrears of one hundred thousand dollars, otherwise there will be no way to talk later. But some people thought, can take 100,000 is 100,000, if do not take, may not get a cent, so accepted 100,000 yuan. They gave me ten thousand yuan, the whole project payment arrears more than one million seven hundred thousand, calculate to my construction team is seventy thousand yuan, to the end, I jumped a building, only to recover the loss of ten thousand yuan. I calculate, add the wage that other people defaults job training, we played a lot of explosive work in Guangzhou (dialect, the thing that do for nothing), lost tens of thousands of wages for nothing.
After I make trouble, I will tell the Baiyun district police station, if I had an accident, is the KTV ghost. Baiyun district a gang boss, and dai boss relationship is also very good, I heard about my matter, think I dare, speak loyalty, give his life to help the old dai, very important to me. He how know, I also have no way in fact, is hard money, do not go for it, is to play for nothing. But what about fighting for it? In the end, he still couldn’t get his pay back.
Say to go, I in Tangxia for so many years, by others arrears of wages are also eighty or ninety thousand, others can owe me, but I can’t owe others, had to work a little bit of their own. Make so, make so many years, also did not see money.
Over the years, Yan Pei is still not talkative enough, a lot of things that I hear thrilling, he has gently brought.
Yan Pei many years of south work experience, the only thing that makes relatives happy, is in the circumstances of penniless, solved the object problem. He gave birth to his first child without marriage in 2007 with his girlfriend Min Zhen, and returned to Hunan province in 2012. Three years later, he gave birth to a daughter, giving birth to a family with both children.
Min Zhen is Guangdong Shantou people, her parents relationship is not good, has been divorced. She had lived in Shantou with her father since childhood, and her mother had remarried to Hunan. min Zhen teenage to Work in Guangzhou, first in a few small factories, and later choi Fengshu in the same garment factory to work, and thus know the inflammation of pei. Her first time in caifeng uncle’s residence to see yan Pei, on his first sight love, every day after work, ran to see him.
Choi Feng uncle feel that yan pei has no mother since childhood, the economic situation in the home is not very good, should get married early, advised yan pei promise her. As soon as something comes and goes, the relationship is settled. sensitive zhen began a person to rent a house to live, and inflammation to determine the relationship, in order to save a little food, two people live together. They got pregnant soon after, had several miscarriages, and by the fourth they decided to have a baby.
At that time living condition is very bad, the nest is in the village in the city, all day long see the sun, when the child is about to be born, still did not find a decent house, a family of 4, still live in about 10 square metre before and after in, the house is dark and dirty, daylighting is ventilated and extremely bad. Because of the high cost of the hospital, they finally decided to get a midwife to give birth at home. Let a person did not think of is, give birth that day, only toss about two hours, sensitive zhen gave birth to a healthy, beautiful boy smoothly.
Confinement to the normal maternity, often means special care, sensitive zhen neither mother-in-law, no mother, it is impossible to get the care of close relatives, yan pei in order to make a living must go out to work every day, and river uncle and occupational training also do not know how to take care of maternity. In this case, choi feng uncle and ying country uncle, offered two people take turns to take care of sensitive zhen, the most difficult days, with the help of relatives, actually went through it.
Job training: Most afraid of being checked temporary residence permit
I had two in-depth conversations with Job Training, the first in 2006 and the second a decade later in 2016. I remember the first ride to Tangxia, vocational training to the station to meet me, take me into the village, walking and I said he was familiar with the matter, “in the lane you just walked through, last week moved out of a corpse, was killed by others. A sweeper was scared to death when he found the body. I don’t know why, but there’s been a lot of trouble in this lane, and several people have died in the last two years.”
“Just last week, a fellow was killed by electricity, is also miluo people. Don’t you know, Dengo, there are a lot of drug addicts here, everywhere, taking the wrong road. Living in Tangxia, in addition to our decoration, set up street stalls, most of them are drug addicts and women.
Along the way, my cousin in his early 20s talked to me all the time, with a calm and calm face. He didn’t notice, and I felt chills down my spine.
Uncle Jane does, however, have some sweet memories of his career training childhood: “When Miss Six (my aunt) died, I was only five months into my career, and I had just recovered. As soon as Pingping suckled, Occupational training kept a pair of open eyes on her. I joked with Occupational training that since I had eaten my milk, I should keep half of it.”
In my eyes, although my mother died young and my father did not care for my family, my childhood was not particularly hard. There were many children in the village, who were all uncles and Cousins. They slept on bamboo beds in hot weather, and there were a lot of children. It was common to steal watermelons and oranges, and they often played together with two sons, three sons, Bomei, Yi sister and Jin Can.
Now, these children have grown up. Seven father’s grandchildren, basically all in the catering industry. Bo sister opened a fast food restaurant in Fujian, six branches, the economic situation is good; Yi sister in Guangxi fell into the pyramid scheme, the demolition of the road at home to get money, he planted in the half, in the pyramid scheme nest for a year and a half, after the penetration of fraud, out of the old industry when the chef, and brother Pengpeng opened a restaurant in his hometown, business is not bad. Five father’s children, but mainly in the outside of the fast food restaurant, do cover rice. Uncle Wei in Guangzhou open steamed restaurant, two sister, three sister in Changsha open fast food restaurant.
I did not graduate from vocational training junior high school, but I arrived in Guangzhou in the first half of 1998. At that time, I was only 13 years old, which was the youngest one in the whole family to work in the south. After arriving in Guangzhou, he and River uncle live in Tangxia, the beginning is seven or eight people in a room, above is the attic, sleep four people, stand not straight, three people sleep below. Because the age is too small, the stature is also not tall, a look is child labor, it is impossible to find what job, so to share the people cooking, washing clothes, to solve the problem of life.
In the third year, 2000, he began to learn building carpenter with his cousin, learning for 11 months, out of his own, to find friends and acquaintances to do work, 25 yuan a day. He was too young, not good at learning and doing little business. In 2002, he could only eat rice. Yanpei returned from the army in 2004 and continued to work with him.
He said he made a little money working on construction sites in the Gold Coast in Haizhu District of Guangzhou. Can just bought a new mobile phone to drop, 1000 yuan, be equivalent to his wages of 50 days.
What impressed his family most during his part-time job was that in 2000, he was put into a homeless shelter because he didn’t have a temporary residence permit.
Sixteen years later, Job training told me the story. “I was fifteen years old. I was learning to build bricks and bricks with my cousin. He works somewhere else, and I work somewhere else. On the way home, the bus was stopped by a few patrol took away, at the beginning of a stop in Haizhu district, then turned to Zengcheng, finally sent to the Dajianshan shelter. In the dajianshan shelter, I picked tea for two days without shoes and went barefoot. In June and July, the sun was so hot that people were burnt to death. At the shelter, a lot of my age, I wasn’t too scared. I wasn’t beaten at first, and I didn’t make much noise.”
“I remember the food was just old cucumbers, old loofah, and a tuo meal. It was horrible to eat, but if you didn’t eat it, you were hungry. In the Transfer station of Haizhu District, hungry for a day, transferred to Zengcheng, hungry for two days, to Dajianshan, or hungry. If I had the money, I could buy instant noodles, but I don’t have the money.”
“When I was stopped, I had only two dollars with me, and my cousin gave me two dollars a day for my wages. I had five dollars at most with me, and I had received no additional income except for my wages, the two dollars for the trip and the one for my breakfast. After two days in Daganshan, on the third day, I began to try to communicate with the outside. There was no cell phone at that time, only pagers. There was a phone under our rental house, and I only remembered that phone, so I called the landlord to ask my father to answer it. When my father heard the news, he immediately managed to scrape together three hundred and sixty dollars and took me back.”
Until today, when it comes to working experience in Guangzhou, Job training frankly, the most afraid is to check the temporary residence permit, see the police station is afraid, see the police station people, will make a detour.
“In 1999, people were so bad that they could detain a person for a few days without any reason for not having a temporary residence permit.” When I asked him why he didn’t apply for a temporary residence permit, I learned that a temporary residence permit costs 120 yuan a year, while the original rent was only 20 yuan a month. A temporary residence permit is equivalent to half a year’s rent. It doesn’t matter if they get a temporary residence permit. They can tear it up in front of people. It was not until 2003, when the internment system was abolished, that the shadow of employment faded and the fear of walking on the street was not felt.
Compared with Yan Pei’s ordinary working life in Guangzhou, Job Pei has more things to deal with because he is bolder and more hot-tempered than him.
In January 2001, Guangdong Whampoa strike, MLM removed to the four, cousin Huang Ming into the MLM organization, more and more deep, stubborn, who are not listening to the word, job training decided to see what happened. At that time has been in the twelfth lunar month of twenty-eight, vocational training originally thought to bring her back to Guangzhou for the New Year, did not expect to be entangled, finally stayed in the Sihui for the New Year. Start to go a few days, MLM organization of people are very enthusiastic, with the job training all day in the outside of the shop to eat, eat food stalls, to the New Year 30, there are 30 or 40 people, two hot pot, a chicken, a duck, and then add the vegetable market to buy a little dishes.
When he went, Shipei had only three or four hundred yuan with him, and Huang Ming took the money in order to keep him. On the first day of the lunar New Year, there was still a chicken and a duck. Twenty or thirty people lived in one suite, all of which were bunks on the floor. The usual work is to listen to lectures, by the seventh day, only a dollar in the job training wallet. MLM organization asked him to do a bank card, he borrowed ten dollars to do a bank card, vocational training took the opportunity to call river Uncle, let him play a hundred dollars of travel expenses.
Eighth day, Huang Ming is still not willing to go back to Guangzhou, vocational training himself came back, gave Huang Ming fifty yuan. After her return to Guangzhou, Huang Ming immediately told her family where she was. Huang Ming was forcibly brought back by Uncle Yao and lost the 3,800 yuan “entrance fee”.
Later, I learned from the job training mouth, miluo people MLM nest from Whampoa transferred to sihui, ten years later, and transferred to Guiyang.
A road in a village a road in a village
In 2010, it was rumored that A group of friends had taken Paipai with drugs. His father and Huarong’s uncle rushed from their hometown to Guangzhou, intending to take Paipai back to Hunan by force. I remember that night, on the floor of my living room, 25-year-old Paipai was ordered to his knees by his father and asked if he was really taking drugs. Job-pei admits that he tried it only occasionally and took some ecstasy, but didn’t get stuck. That night, he assured his father and Uncle that he would not stay in Guangzhou, but follow them back to Hunan.
In this way, the job training finally ended in Guangzhou more than ten years of part-time job and vagrant life. In this sweltering southern city, where he had grown from 13 to 25, his job training was alarming at a time when his siblings and peers were getting married.
After Job training came back, dad called his brother and sister together, held a family meeting, decided to lend him money to do business. In this way, uncle Yao kept the post training in Qianliang Lake. My father borrowed twenty thousand yuan, sister-in-law borrowed ten thousand yuan, Uncle Yao borrowed twenty thousand yuan, and he helped his brother with the decoration of ten thousand yuan. So he started to do the marble hearth business.
As his shop is the first qianliang Lake, business is good. In the first year, he was able to keep his mouth shut. In the second year, he opened his network, made some money and began to pay off the debt of the store.
Through introductions, He met the cousin of the shopkeeper next door and got married in 2012. In August of that year, he gave birth to his daughter Xinxin. So far, despite his debt, He has a foundation to live on and a home to live on. Job training in Qianliang Lake after a firm foothold, because the business is very good, in 2012 will be yanpei called back from Guangzhou to help, river uncle also followed the end of 20 years of work life.
At the beginning of 2013, with the help of his relatives, his life gradually got on the right track.
When he heard that business was booming in Guizhou, he planned to expand his marble hearth business there in search of new development opportunities. A to Guiyang Jinyang New District, only to find the so-called good business, the original is a huge lie, in fact, everywhere is MLM organization.
Surprisingly, many people in Sanjiang have fallen into the trap, with their uncle and aunt there. Feng Shaped village of Xiliang Uncle, a very smart, very independent person, also went; His son, the soldier, has already put in 180,000. It was the 11th or 12th day of the 1st lunar month. As soon as he went there, he was immediately watched and taken to lectures. If he did not follow them, he was threatened.
On one occasion, I was forced to attend a lecture. Several people were on the stage, brainwashing nonsense and boasting that it was easy to make money. Thinking about their own working experience, they did not admit or approve their views and thought they were lying, so they stood up on the spot and had a fierce quarrel and almost hit someone. That night, he managed to slip out of the dorm.
Job training told me, guiyang now pyramid selling, and four years ago, compared to the form, there has been a great change, pyramid selling activities are in some very high-end residential areas, two people a room, one to one brainwash, if the police station under pressure to catch people, it is to chat, also can not catch evidence. In the home area, MLM in Changle town is called to do wood floor business, in the flower bridge called to do hardware business, the insider listen to understand is how to return a charge.
Po pei is especially grateful to his uncle and uno for pulling him back when his life went astray.
I later found out that He had always been very business-minded. He once told me that the worst thing you can do in business is to look at the looks of others, if you are all in the same business. “The key to doing business is to make money before anyone else has an idea. Flower bridge before the wholesale business is not very profitable? It opened a dozen, and now business is bad. Daliang and his family were selling electrical appliances, and their business was so good that someone else opened another one opposite them, which made both of them very bad.” My guess is that the two brothers have been in Guangzhou for so many years that they have been having a hard time getting together because they have no money to spare.
Thankfully, the job training is satisfied with the current situation, especially his wife and daughter. For a child who has been deprived of maternal love since childhood, the warmth of family can provide him with emotional comfort.
Li Xuan: Reading kept me from going astray
Li Xuan is my sister-in-law’s young son. My uncle is an old employee of a construction company in Yueyang. My sister-in-law has no permanent job and has been taking care of children in his hometown for a long time. In the 1980s, the state-owned enterprises were not bad, and the economic conditions of my uncle’s family were relatively relaxed among my father’s siblings.
In 1997, my uncle’s construction company closed down, my uncle was laid off, my cousin graduated from secondary school, did not successfully find a job, followed a group of street thugs beat people rioting was caught, 10,000 yuan fine, at that time laid off at home for my uncle’s family, is undoubtedly a further blow.
My younger cousin Li Xuan graduated from junior high school and was admitted to Yueyang No. 7 Middle School, but because his family was at the bottom of the valley, he gave up high school and entered a vocational school to study computer. One year later, he followed his elder sister-in-law’s son Canliangge to work in the south, and became an apprentice of Xiaoding Brother together with Yanpei and Vocational training.
The turning point of Li’s life was that after working in Guangzhou for more than a year, she decided to go back to school because she could not bear the hardships and hoplessness of being a mason.
In the Spring Festival of 2000, Li Xuan came home for the Chinese New Year to find my father, that he wanted to go back to school to study, father through many inquiries, with the help of a friend, sent him to miluo 3 middle school. Three years after graduating from junior high school, he re-enrolled in senior high school at the age when he should have graduated from senior high school. In 2003, he was admitted to Hunan Institute of Science and Technology to study mechanical and electrical engineering.
After graduating from college in 2006, he got rid of his lowly job and started moving between different companies. On November 11, 2009, Li Xuan came to Houjie, Dongguan, and caught the most prosperous stage of dongguan’s manufacturing industry. He opened a leather factory with his friends, and gradually stabilized his life. A few years later, he got married and had a child in Houjie, Dongguan. He bought a house and a car and lived a more stable life than training and job training.
Interview time: February 5, 2016
Interview place: Home, Guanping Lane, Miluo, Hunan
In 1998, I went to Guangzhou with Chanliang and Xiaodingge, and Yanpei and Qipei were both in Tangxia.
In guangzhou a year and a half, just hit the public security most chaotic period, yellow, gambling, poison, those before can only see things in the TV, suddenly appeared in my side.
I’ve seen people injecting drugs, I’ve seen women soliciting. Fights are common, just like what happens in the Hong Kong movie “The Young Man”. When I saw the reality, my inner feeling was too dark, but I never told my family.
Once, a fellow countryman came to me, saying that he had a house to decorate and wanted to outsource his business. He asked us whether we should take it or not. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. I immediately asked Job training to go back to the restaurant. They said nothing to me and pulled me over to sit down. I noticed that they didn’t have the right eyes to sit down with them. One of them stomped on the table with his chopsticks and silently signaled me to eat.
I started to run, but before I could get out of the house, they dragged me outside. I struggled to stand up, looking for the opportunity to continue to run, I a person in front of the escape, a dozen people in the rear, very close, run a few steps, was kicked, ran a few steps, was kicked. At the edge of the road, there were so many cars that I didn’t even care about them at that time. Instead, I rushed directly past them. I breath ran to tangxia, went to cousin downstairs, tangxia at that time are Hunan people, across the road, just feel safe zone.
After shaking off the pursuer, my face is footprints, the villagers saw me, surprised to ask me how the corners of the mouth are blood, in a hurry to send me to the hospital. I slept at home for several days before the fear and pain subsided.
Later, I learned that the cause of my beating was very small. It turned out that one of my brother’s classmates had taken their percussion drill, and they could not find the person responsible. Because I knew him and was a fellow countryman, I assumed that we were partners in an attempt to retaliate against me. After this matter, I feel oneself and tangxia antisocial, if I can’t get rid of the environment of Tangxia, mix down, I will become them, when the time comes also will make no trouble, do no evil, become a bully.
Even funnier was the one time I was caught as a “street girl”. The security guard thought I was a woman because my hair was too long. When he looked at my ID and saw that it was a man, he put me back, but my ID and pager were taken away.
In the Spring Festival of 2000, I came back to Hunan for an operation because Of appendicitis. I proposed to my family that I wanted to go back to school. Mother asked uncle, uncle entrusted to help, I sent to the Miluo three middle school, three years after junior high school graduation, I started campus life again.
I especially cherish the opportunity to read, read junior high school, because too naughty, has been the object of the teacher abandon; After reading high school, because sensible serious, good grades, has been the teacher’s appreciation of the eyes, two relative than, people feel completely different, self-confidence also followed up.
In 2003, I was admitted to Hunan Institute of Science and Technology. I entered the university at the age of 21, three years later than others.
I graduated from university in 2006, because I have a diploma, I am looking for a job, unlike in 1998 when I went to Guangzhou to choose the most tiring, the most prospective life. A week later, I got a job in quality control at a factory in Shenzhen. On my first day at work, When I saw the bare wires of the factory, I told my boss to pay attention to the safety of electricity, so he was very kind to me.
Shenzhen, Shanghai, Jinhua… Finally, in 2008, I went back to the South and came to Guangzhou, which I had been to ten years ago.
Soon after I arrived in Guangzhou, one of my classmates heard of me and advised me to go to Changsha. At that time, he was doing telecom business in Changsha and taking care of the information service platform, which developed quite well. In this way, I did not stay in Guangzhou for long, but returned to Hunan. Unexpectedly, in the face of the rapid development of the company, we were ready to make a big effort, a ban on spamming SMS, completely affected the operation of the company, the information service platform was subsequently blocked.
In the face of sudden changes, we are not discouraged, to the original technology on the basis of the access control system and burglar alarm development. That was a good idea now, but it was abandoned because capital and human resources were scarce.
After the company went bankrupt, I faced one blow after another, and my mentality changed a lot. I have become desire-less and never complain, even on the assembly line. Just sometimes think of the original ambition, feel read the university can not have too good way out.
The only thing to be thankful for is that when I was in school, I always cherished the friendship between my classmates and kept a good relationship with them. High school classmate Li Jiang know my situation, immediately invited me to Dongguan, and he started a company together.
On November 11, 2009, I arrived at The Factory of Li Jiang in Houjie, Dongguan, empty-handed. Instead of going to college after high school, Li came to Dongguan early. He gave me full control of the factory and let me run it while he went into another business. In effect, he paid for the factory and provided me with a job.
I stayed there until the third year, when the business slowly expanded and began to turn a profit. In order to better help Li Jiang maintain customers, I took the driver’s license test and always took the factory as my own business, trying every means to meet the needs of customers. With the operation of the factory on the right track, the volume of business gradually increased, I gradually have a sense of achievement, income also gradually increased.
In 2012, in order to expand the scale of the factory, I decided to become a shareholder. With the support of my family, I invested 150,000 yuan successively. To tell you the truth, opening a factory, the early very hard, if not hard to insist, a few months almost closed. Now the factory is getting better, and with profits, it can share out dividends. According to the proportion, it invests 150,000 yuan, and it can get 6% of the year’s profits every year, which amounts to 60,000 yuan of dividends.
In just a few years, I got married in Dongguan, had a baby, and bought a house on mortgage, all of which were realized after I entered the Factory of Li Jiang.
Before I got to Dongguan, I had nothing and was running around, always unable to find a foothold. All day long, I was worried that I would slack off and give up, and eventually rot away. Now I can see my children, my wife and my family together every day, and I feel satisfied even though I have no money in hand.
Compared with my childhood, my character has changed a lot. When I was young, I was very naughty. I finished grade three in my hometown and followed my mother to Yueyang. I got into a fight with someone on the first day of school and had several teeth knocked out.
More absurd one time, is the middle of the night together, ran to the South Lake amusement park, will open the ferris wheel. When I was in junior high school, I also sold fake money with my classmates, stole books from the bookstore, stole raisins from the supermarket, or rode a tricycle to fight. Adolescence rebellious, at that time at home do not understand, I and the small friends in the yard, once the collective run away from home, to the hostel urine, hungry to go to the steamed stuffed bun shop to rob the steamed stuffed bun, no money in hand, took the steamed stuffed bun to run, the shopkeeper take us these children also can’t.
At that time, my family worried about me, thinking that I would rot away and become a gangster in the streets of Yueyang. Unexpectedly, I did not become a bludger, but the most obedient brother in the home imperceptibly became a big trouble in the home.
My brother has always been my idol, handsome, clean love, pay attention to appearance, a lot of girls like him, they in order to get close to my brother, buy sugar for me to eat. When he studied in Yueyang, he got good grades and passed the technical secondary school examination. Technical secondary school was very popular at that time, could have been directly employed, who knows to his this term, began not to include distribution. My brother went to Guangzhou very early and was taken by his accomplices to take drugs. When I first came to Guangzhou in 1998, I was shocked to see him taking drugs. I can’t figure out why I didn’t stop him. You know, I grew up with rotten, and my brother grew up with rotten, and I never thought my brother would turn out like this.
To tell you the truth, after so many things, My heart is sometimes very depressed, but always remind myself to learn restraint. Maybe because I did a lot of bad things when I was a child, I grew up to be particularly vigilant against going astray. Fortunately, I had a lot of opportunities to go astray, but I did not go astray in the end. College didn’t offer me particularly good opportunities, but it did keep me away from a lot of dangerous places and from a bunch of really bad people and the opportunity to choose.
I think Dongguan is very good. I like Dongguan, the city is not big, but the transportation is convenient, the circle of friends and colleagues are very good. I’m supposed to stay here.
