One night, in a small hotel, next to my table is two 99-year-old girl, from their conversation learned that they are together from the mountain in Chongqing, the remote village to work in the city, they choose a different way of earning money. According to the recollection, the conversation is organized as follows:
Foot wash: You are so exposed, you are not afraid of other sisters see go back to tell your parents?
Accompany sing female: This has what, since I come out, I do not intend to return to that poor place.
Woman: How much money do you send back in one months now?
Accompany singing girl: sometimes 5,000, sometimes less, mainly cosmetics these things are too expensive. I asked you not to do this, your song than I sang well, and also do not need to sing anything, is to accompany the men sitting.
Foot wash: Are those men bullying you?
Accompany singing girl: Want to open that also not called bullying, those men sing wine to cabaret is to relax, hug hug is often, anyway, not drop piece of meat less piece of skin.
Foot-washing woman: that is so embarrassing, no dignity.
Accompany sing female: Hee, want to live also what dignity yo, you wash that both smelly feet have dignity? In fact, this is all relative, I see the world few people have complete dignity, you see those men in our girls find joy, certainly in front of his bigger leader like a turtle son endure long to vent, the leader said he dare not say West, he has dignity?
Woman: Your mouth is getting more and more neat.
Accompany sing female: That is, in that occasion can see all kinds of men, and 100 people to talk about 100 kinds of words.
Foot wash: Talk about friends?
Accompany singing girl: Talk about friends? I don't even think about it. A boy as big as us or a punk in the street, I have to earn money to keep him. A better man than I was, and another woman took the first step.
Foot wash: What are you going to do then?
Accompany sing female: First make money, wait to accumulate some money to buy a façade to rent, also can live. You think, now graduate students can not find a job, 3,000 pieces of work is not for the meal. What can we do when we are old? You're not going to be able to help people wash their feet.
Foot wash: Yes, but I do not have you so much money, I want to find a reliable man with a day on the line.
Accompany singing girl: Reliable? Which man is reliable now? I've seen a lot on that occasion. Reliable man is often a loser, you don't open your eyes to find such a man?
Foot wash: So what are you going to do about it?
Accompany singing girl: I am going to find a thirty or forty-year-old divorced man, you do not open so big eyes to see me ok? I think this kind of man has the experience of getting along with a woman, he will know how to hurt me more. Besides, they have accumulated a fortune, I can one step enjoy the day, save the middle of a long struggle process.
Foot-washing woman: so much older than you have no common language.
Accompany sings female: Hee, the so-called common language all is idealized, the same age has the common language?
Foot wash: You are very realistic.
Accompany sings a woman: Really, not so how we survive. I have not yet stepped out of prostitution that step, I have a sister to accompany Sing also accompany sleep, a year to earn a hundreds of thousands of, to the parents have repaired a few buildings, also do a filial piety. You see those ordinary workers, they want to do this filial piety are powerless, rent a room even their own can't keep alive.
Foot-Washing woman: You must not do prostitution.
Accompany sings the girl: Let It be natural. We work is protected, and besides, prostitution is the consumption of their own body, is better than the corrupt officials.
