======================================
After reading this article, I am very touched by it.
======================================

At noon yesterday, he moved things in our company and squatted at the door of the company to remember things. I saw him squatting and writing very laborious, and told him to sit down and write in my office position. Inadvertently, I found that he was accounting, which aroused a lot of interest in me (I was absolutely not interested in his privacy, it was purely curious), so I took it and looked at it, his accounting is the kind of journal account (in fact, it is a sum of money). I will perform a rough calculation and sort it out. You can take a look and have some explanations at the same time, I asked him and wrote it down.

The account is the total revenue for March: about 770 yuan (roughly, but not more than 800)
Rent: 50 RMB (4 people share a room)
Management Fee: 20 RMB (the temporary residence fee charged by the street, including 10 RMB)
Meal fee: 140 yuan (breakfast 1, lunch 4, food is good)
Food buying: 27 RMB (four people buy food in turn every day and cook together)
Buy rice: 15 yuan (originally owned rice, but the round-trip fare is more expensive than buy rice)
Daily use: 30 RMB (including oil, salt, paper, etc)
SMOKE: 20 yuan (two yuan a pack, three days smoke a pack)
Communication fee: 17 yuan (including 10 yuan call service fee)
Transportation fee: 3 RMB)
Living expenses for the son: 200 yuan (the son is in high school in the county)
Buy a dress for his wife: 20 RMB (it is estimated that the dress was bought on the stall. "I didn't buy her new clothes for half a year." He said this with embarrassment)
Send home: 150 RMB (save it to your son)
Sent to the mother for medical treatment: 50 yuan (the mother's drug fee is shared by three siblings)
Unexpected expenses: 60 yuan (a 10 yuan penalty was imposed to seize the live across the road, a pick and touch a young man, was blackmailed 50 laundry fees)

I looked at his expenses, and he was very sad. He said that our company was very good and often gave him anything that could sell money (it was a waste of newspapers, not a packing box, there is also an expired publicity product). Once a girl gave him a dress (an advertisement shirt for publicity), and every time she worked on us, there was water to drink, sometimes there is smoke (I am speechless, we ask him to do something, sometimes smoke for him)

He is most afraid of illness, even a cold and fever. The most important thing he wants is that his son can go to college and his mother can get well. The least thing he wants to do is to go to his house as a village cadre, when I go there, I only need money.

He came out to work at six o'clock every day and went back at. The happiest time was to eat and go to the shop to watch TV. I asked him why he didn't contract fish ponds and orchards in his hometown. He smiled and said, it's not what they can contract. It's all about good places, he does not know what civil rights are. He has never seen a vote for such a long time. He knows about the WTO and often talks about it in the news, but he doesn't understand politics or economics. He just wants to earn 10 more yuan a day, in this way, you can have more money each month to buy better medicines for your mother, send more living expenses to your son, and buy more nice clothes for your wife. He said he was afraid of death because he had to fight for the family. His mother, wife, and son had to support him. His biggest wish is to save some money for small business and make his own economy more plentiful.

This is a monthly account book and self-owned by ordinary migrant workers. There are 0.7 billion of them in China. He is a medium member of this group. They have no lofty ideals. They live at the bottom of this country, they are the cornerstone of this country. They have not received any funding from this country and have not enjoyed any welfare from this country. At key times, they are also the most easily forgotten group, we do not even want to regard them as part of our civilization with thousands of years of history.

We seem to think too little about them. Everyone can ask themselves whether you have paid attention to them. When you think about them, when an ordinary migrant worker stands beside you, the sweat on his body passes into your nostrils, will you hide your nose. I used to, but I don't know if I will. I think I am very patriotic, but now I think I used to shout slogans. I can't help them. What I can do is to donate a few small dollars to the "Love 1 help 1" activity, helping out-of-school children, I think, what they need is not only such help. What they need is the progress of society and the progress of the entire class, I suddenly admire the volunteers who went to the countryside (including the foreigners who came to my country far away to help those villagers). They brought the things they needed most, but I couldn't do it, in fact, I am not willing to do it at all. I am a villain, a theoretical patriot, a parasite capable of learning the world, learning to float, and adapting to a warm environment.
