Shenzhen Survival Survey: 10 years of work to buy 10 square meters house

Three months ago, Xuchang Youth Horse traveled all the while to Shenzhen to become a trainee employee of Foxconn, the largest electronics company in the region. 3 months later, at the factory, the 19-Year-old left the world in a dubious way (this newspaper has previously reported this).　　Horse incident in the local Henan peasant workers circle quickly spread, in addition to sympathize with pity, these peasant workers cannot help but re-examine their own work road.　　Pearl River Delta Enterprises increasingly harsh working environment, increasing the intensity of work, hard to protect the individual rights and interests, in the past decade, the increase in wages in the face of the gap appears so big. 2009, Guangdong province's GDP per capita is 40748 yuan, and 2008 after the adjustment of Guangdong Province, the minimum wage is divided into 5 categories, the highest standard of 860 yuan, the minimum standard only 530 yuan. In the Pearl River Delta, labor-intensive enterprises gathered, poor working environment, labor intensity, technology to improve the slow, migrant workers rely on the sale of Labor to earn hard money, basic wages can not meet food and clothing, migrant workers have to work hard overtime, working more than 12 hours a day is everywhere, to Shenzhen, for example, ordinary workers only 900~　　1500 yuan, which accounted for a large proportion of overtime.　　And in the labor output of the provinces of Sichuan, Henan and other inland areas, worker monthly wages have reached about thousand yuan, a large number of migrant workers choose to pay more superior to the Zhejiang-Shanghai and other places, or the nearest career choice, by contrast, the traditional employment of the Pearl River Delta's salary competitiveness lost. In the end of 2009, the "Chinese workers" in the annual figures released by Time magazine ranked second in the post of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. China's workers are leading the way for the world economy to recover, Time magazine said. Obviously, this is a latent force, this force is also beginning to awaken. In recent years, the Peasant workers group has undergone structural changes, and the peasant workers have boldly put forward the different career demands of their parents: life quality, freedom, development opportunity.　　Faced with the backwardness of the Pearl River Delta Employment model, these new generation of migrant workers began to spread out the map, looking for the next place to stay. This article embarks from the real living condition of the migrant workers in Shenzhen, tries to enter the historical depth of migrant workers working in Guangdong, to show the current real living state of peasant workers in Henan, the choice of litigation and summation group. Reporter Zhao working in Shenzhen for 10 years to save money, in Shenzhen can not buy 10 square meters of the house figure: Li thought, Nanyang Xinye County, the Road to work: 1999 truancy to Shenzhen to work, so far, has 11 years of 1999 summer, 16-year-old Junior high school students Li thought, borrowed money to buy a shotgun, The window glass of the villagers. The villagers to his father to complain, he scared the students home refuge.　　Happens, the classmate's sister from Shenzhen to work back, when to take his brother, he also tempted, and then set foot on the South train. With no identification, Li was very difficult to find a job.　　Finally, a small company to take him and his classmates, but the first 3 months without pay, only 5 yuan a day of living expenses, two people can only eat steamed bread pickles every day. Soon, the company fellThe pay is closed, two people back to their hometown. After the Spring Festival, Li wants to go to Shenzhen again.　　Father to the public security organs for his identity card, Lee wanted to go to Shenzhen alone. This time, Li wants to be employed by an electronics factory in Hong Kong, a monthly salary of 300 yuan, plus overtime pay, can earn more than 600 yuan per month. He was laid off in 2003, when the economy was depressed. After six months of rest, back to Shenzhen, in an instrument factory to find a job. The basic salary of each month rose to 500 yuan, overtime is 5 yuan per hour, 4 hours a day overtime.　　Deduct living expenses, buy cigarettes and daily necessities, can not save 800 yuan per month.　　By 2008, Shenzhen adjusted the minimum wage, his basic salary rose to 920 yuan, hourly overtime to 7.75 yuan, "we are now mainly expected to work overtime, 8 hours a day, and Saturday Sundays do not rest, light on basic wages, each month not much money." 2008, Lee wanted to get married, now and his wife live in a rental room, "we each month to tighten up, two people add up also can save more than 2000 yuan."　　Working for so many years, we two people's deposit is not enough in Shenzhen to buy 10 square meters of the house, also dare not give birth to children. He said that migrant workers rarely have weekends and holidays, some work 16 hours a day, most work 7 days a week. "No overtime, no money at all." More let him sad is, the hometown with an uncle to work overtime in the workshop last year, because too tired, the right hand was cut off by the lathe. With the help of a local lawyer, the factory managed to lose 15000 yuan, not enough medical expenses.　　Finally, his uncle shed tears to his hometown. Unable to withstand high-intensity labor, the first generation of migrant workers sadly left the specimen: Zhang Happiness, xinyang Huangchuan people to work in the road: 1983 years to work in Shenzhen, 27, to work to "desperate" yesterday, in Shenzhen Baoan bus station, Zhang YIFAO body A former hanging woven bag, hand also carrying a shabby bag, Sat on the bus home.　　"Go home, never again!" Zhang Yifao 18 years old ran to Shenzhen, has been 27 years now. When he came, Shenzhen or a small fishing village, from the radio heard that Shenzhen set up a special zone, here, found a desolate.　　He is a little discouraged. Luckily, construction sites are everywhere, and construction sites need labor. Although the salary is only more than 100 yuan a month, but at that time Zhang Happy young plenty of strength. He said he was working one day, his shoulders were frayed, his hands were frayed, his legs trembled. The time is long, he slowly accustomed to, appetite big increase, a meal can eat six or seven steamed buns.　　After the sun and wind, he also quickly from a handsome boy into a swarthy man.　　Because Zhang Happiness is no technology, no diploma, he has changed more than 20 factories, most of the time, one months changed 3. 2002 Spring Festival, he was commissioned by the work of the enterprise back to the job, wearing a cheap suit, wear a bright tie, with Shing appeared in his hometown, his hometown people to his admiration. For a time, his house that two Adobe House, coming and going, the bold young man directly asked what treatment, shy girl in the parents accompanied by dark to ask.　　There are also a steady stream of matchmaking to him. In just half a month, he brought more than 300 people, hired 5 long-distance vehicles, mighty to Shenzhen. In addition to earning 6000 yuan, an old man in a neighboring village also gave his daughter to him as a daughter-in-law.　　Later, Zhang Happy a home, daughter-in-law son scold him, said he had been cheated, "originally just the lowest end of the assembly line of the small workers, I follow you suffer to consider yourself unlucky, the child can follow you for a lifetime to endure hardship"? In the daily production line, he is in the consumption of his youth and years. "I was only 45 years old, but I was all sick and my eyes began to spend and I couldn't see clearly." Son and daughter-in-law said, you are so old, still dozen what work, go home to enjoy a few days blessing go.　　When I think about it, I quit. The different demands of the two generations, select or be selected specimen: Song Neushun, Peng Father and son, Nanyang Tanghe people working Road: Song Neushun 2002 years to work in Shenzhen, 2008, the son did not pass the college entrance to the university also brought out February 2 noon, Song Neushun carrying simple luggage, sat on the bus to his hometown, Son Peng didn't go home with him. Peng decided to stay in Shenzhen for the new year, although to Shenzhen less than 2 years, but he felt and his hometown has been working with the people than he has the ideal.　　Now, his biggest ambition is to be his own boss, and then buy a house in the city, a wife and children. Song Neushun 50 years old this year, has been to Shenzhen for 8 years. His hometown was so few and his wife died early. In the autumn of 2002, Song Neushun the 12-year-old son to his sister's home and followed neighbors to work in Shenzhen. Because of the older, in the labor market has no advantage, Song Neushun dozen odd jobs, has done to send hydraulic, wash lathe, Porter, and finally into an electronics factory, responsible for packaging goods, loading and unloading.　　He is willing to work hard, and willing to under the strength, monthly wages from hundreds of yuan rose to more than 1000 yuan, in 2008, he returned home in the house built two floors.　　2008, son Peng after graduating from high school did not go to college, and his father came to Shenzhen, into a lamp factory, each month's salary is higher than his father. In fact, the purpose of the father to work is very simple, that is, while still able to earn more money. But son Peng and his idea is different: hope oneself can develop, can't only be a person that sells cheap labor simply. "I regret to learn too little in school, I would like to learn technology, to become a technician, in the future to do the company middle." It's easy to find a daughter-in-law.　　I think to make more money, buy a house in Zhengzhou, into the enterprise, the life of a city people! In the summer of 2009, Peng spent 5000 yuan in a technical school in Shenzhen, learning computer and electronic technology, 3 months later, just catch up with a large number of recruitment, he successfully entered the world's 500 enterprises Wei founded publicSecretary work, a monthly salary rose to 2600 yuan, higher than before a big cut. Father is satisfied with the status quo of the two sons, just come less than a couple of years, the son turned into a technical worker, his face also enriched a lot.　　But the son had a new grievance, because he has a view of the working environment in the Pearl River Delta: The time is long, here's the enterprise commonly exists the malpractice of the thought aging, "is not the boss own cronies, you work well, can never do the position of the management personnel". Reporter in the survey, many of Henan peasant workers, especially the new generation of migrant workers expressed their attitude to work in Shenzhen, "Low wages is not the most important, at least not so dark and dirty dormitory, and more importantly I play this job can learn things, there is no future." The primary manufacturing industry is their springboard and they will leave in two or three months.　　And those electronics factory, embroidery factory, mold factory, especially the senior technicians who produce molds are particularly favored by them. The more educated new generation of migrant workers gradually entered the office.　　Technology-intensive enterprises have become their dream harbor, they do not want to be like their parents, in the assembly line day after day to do mechanical repetition, waiting to be eliminated by the assembly line. Guakiangkan, deputy Dean of the Academy of Social Sciences in Henan province, said that for the new generation of migrant workers, it is more important to learn technology, broaden their horizons and find a comfortable working environment. "They are more educated and pay more attention to career prospects, areas of employment and work environment."
