He do not comply, we must keep up my half points. very rough rice, vegetables can be no water, but we can chew very fragrant, like the taste of the world's most delicious dishes .

Okawa and then commissioned me to send on to the Town. worse, my work either rejection or heard from since. give me the most is the rejection of Shanghai naive, all making a fuss of emotion, or the inexplicable sadness. I dealt a heavy blow, from easy to write no more poetry. I poured all the emotions all in the diary.

【that moment, I want to go in this mercenary men face Tukou spittle from Shanghai, I in the end refrained. I need to work, I also no match for him. But this is not only mercenary and had enjoyed the development of packet-day guy even on my hands and feet to the point, I can not put up with.】
start work, I see this job is very important and sacred. I was so naive as to think that as long as the boss does not expel me, I will always be here to go on. I sigh to the sky: Shanghai ah, I the same as a needle, and finally lands on your bar down.
first day of work, my boss liang in accordance with the instructions, get up at 5 o'clock, and then ride my bike to Town March 30, a noodle shop to buy vermicelli noodles pounds .30 pounds sloshing the weight of my bike straight, I'm back on the two bikes, two back all fall down. I'm discouraged, simply go back Tuizhao Che. did not expect a return to the hotel, head to see the boss furious, because I came back late, affecting the business of the store for breakfast. I moved unsteadily 惊惊 to the noodle kitchen, another waiter carrying a Little Sister Hong dorm room just from the bottle slowly came open, I do not think it fair But I dared not say anything, I have to keep working this hard-won, I want to show I do not ride a bike in addition to outside, I ingenuity, not clumsy. was already very hot in the November chill months, but I have sweat. half of the heat out of walking, half out of the boss scolded.
eat breakfast are migrant workers, the boss taught me how to stand on the stove side bar below, taught me to put MSG and salt, told me how to taste needs migrant workers, put different toppings. one morning in the past, I have learned several orderly manner under the bowl of noodles at the same time, the boss's face relaxed a bit much. to nine o'clock, virtually no one to eat breakfast , and we own the next bowl of noodles. proprietress eat large emission surface, the boss eat Sam Sun face, Little Sister Hong also eat large row of face, and I, dared not put any toppings, pickles chopsticks to a folder. small When my mother told me said a word: people under the eaves, forced to bow their heads. I firmly remember.
breakfast, they began to prepare the noon meal. has been done in this hotel two Little Sister Hong year dry vegetable side dishes only live. the rest of the Zecai, vegetables, pantry, dishwasher and so are my living. proprietress is a chef, the boss is the accountant and greet customers, Mr.. other dishes are good washing, only broth, make me sick endless. boss taught me, first with the salt scrub hard broth again and then one by one, in turn clean and scrape the inside of the polyp. and then look in the pot with boiling water, blanch, water boiled broth stink to high heaven, hair and clothes were filled those lingering smell. but I have to sniff the smell of those sick will pour out of broth from the pot, then a cleaning of a root Fan hh done twice, I have got used to the smell of a waitress in a restaurant, but also pay attention to what?
our Chinese food is around two thirty in the afternoon, I'm already hungry dizziness in the morning bowl of noodles at the feet do not point back to the shuttle in consumed. proprietress of a pickle fried pork, a plate of vegetables, a bowl gourd bowl of soup, which is four of us Chinese food. I less to the folder that food, not only embarrassed, they feel that too little food, everyone enough to eat. I can eat more rice. I did not expect, when I sung out to the kitchen when the second bowl of rice and wife spoke up: Xiao Zhao, your appetite is not small ah! gave the play four ounces of rice each time, I have eaten.
me and the tears, silently push lightly down a bowl of rice. Since then, I'm the boss of the shop eating a bowl of rice every meal. Sometimes when work is no strength, I drink hard, drink too much, but also to the toilet, public toilets and a bit far more often, the boss thought I waste time either, his face does not look good. I had not even water did not dare to drink, hungry hungry now! to any death not hungry anyway.
night, when I finished the last one bowl, it is often already 10 o'clock. When I returned, and Little Sister Hong shared the dormitory, sleeping too lazy to stand up, stand a day of endless legs and feet ache, your fingers are soaked in detergent was pale, swollen knuckles. conceivable end will be able to get 80 dollars in money, and I feel comfortable right away up. These Kulei and in the mountains stoning But what of it?
full month to do, I finally got the first look to wage a long time. because I broke a glass when washing dishes, the boss minus 5 yuan, the remaining money, I went to the post office on April Town Meeting to the 70 yuan to the family, I was proud to write in the remittance message saying: This is my first paycheck, earning The Shanghai people. Life seemed to bloom a long absence, I smile. Although it is winter, I feel a kind of pleasant spring breeze blowing.
year's Spring Festival, I did not go home, my boss's shop in overtime . because the workers on a nearby site in their work, the boss of the small restaurant is basically supported by these workers the.
New Year's boss day off, I went to a point on Town to Jiali Ji money. full of firecrackers and lights, well-dressed crowd. loved ones during the festive season. I think of a thousand miles from home, the heart suddenly wet up. a person, on the home to be missed, but in a particular environment and moment, or will not stop longing for and cared about it. home that is a person no matter how far, can follow the footprints back to find a place. home that is how far a heart regardless of Gone with the Wind, will yearn to look around the place hh
New Year's Day was my birthday, I bought myself a new diary and a stack of manuscript as a gift box.
I think I will do this for a long time waitress job, because I mm not easy to find it. did not expect, less than half a year, I boldly fried squid boss. First, I really can not bear the boss asked me to smell the chicken head and sour to eat noodles sold to migrant workers. There several times, I threw away a few rotten behind his back could not have heard of the octopus, he would fly into a rage, cursing I will not be saved. He said with a deep-fried deep-fried, or can be sold to workers. He also argue that: This mercenary little man in Shanghai face Tukou spit in the end I refrained. I need to work, I also no match for him. But this is not only mercenary and had enjoyed the development of packet-day guy even on my hands and feet to the point, I can not put up with.
I do in the first five months of this hotel, when my boss's attitude has changed, first Little Sister Hong married and went back to his hometown in Jiangsu. So my boss is a move waitress, I was my bonus, I am pleased that their hard work appreciated and recognized by the boss, after all, is a pleasant thing.
did not expect that this guy had other the people. One afternoon break, new home, send a letter out to the waiter and wife went home to do laundry, and I left the restaurant owner. When I was in the order between narrow vegetable side dishes, when the boss squeeze in, squeeze the hands of the two ten of the tickets, saying it was a bonus for me. I took it frankly, did not expect, he was moving their arms to pull me. I was shocked, and realized bonus is a conspiracy. I like the long narrow board As the fish struggled to board Wanpen case creaked badly rattle rattle, the boss see a big movement, living out of breath before hand. I threw the money on the ground, teeth criticized the sentence: This is our home, then the most vicious curse.
Samsam boss said: her, I do not. said this, I carry a fixed idea, to leave the hotel. As for the next job, I believe I will find, and attendants will now work more than promising. < br> (thirty-seven)
【As the world do not have a ready-made smooth, life has no absolute success. mm the next day when I officially entered the door Yuepu garment factory, started my career when sewing workers I fully comprehend the true meaning of this sentence.】
the end, I threw fried squid boss. boss to pay the temptation to retain me, and he thought that twenty dollars can buy move my humble dignity, He was wrong.
Fortunately, before I decided to resign, has been identified in the nearby village abandoned in the kitchen of a farming family, host family built a new building, the old house remained when leased at low cost migrant workers live. I'm looking for the last time, only that the kitchen between the stove removed, about eight square meters, a separate door, the landlord price of five dollars a month rent to me. and gave me a bamboo bed and a broken cotton, this is the first I was in Shanghai a . I did not sleep the first night, lying in bed, looked up to see the outside only to find the stars.
do not know that what lies hidden in a small woods like nocturnal animals, they have been in my door window came up It is scared of the sound mind. I suddenly felt like a homeless small animals, sleeping in someone else's eyes open thinking about tomorrow when it comes to life which direction to go, so I thought up the nose to acid hh
Okawa, after that I resign, but also anxiously up and started again all the colleagues and friends to help me find a job. Soon, his leadership, said Chen Kechang executive branch, monthly recruitment Town is home to garment factories, He asked me to find the woman, surnamed Pan, deputy director, the interview it. I'm such a relationship around the winding is not hopeful, it is not so easily believe that luck will come to my side. But went to.
but what surprises me is that this interview was very smooth. It was May 21, 1990, a day to reverse my destiny. I came to Wolpo garment factory, I come directly to plant Office, to find Pan Xiangfen deputy director. Pan is a kind gentle director of middle-aged women, she asked my age, education, and will not be sewing. I truthfully say that the age, because of the identity evidence. but it comes My education, I had a little trick playing, I said I read that high school grades, because no school, so there is no diploma. As for sewing, I said I learned sewing at home, will step on sewing machines. I said I also learned sewing and embroidery. Pan director looked me up and down, eyes look kind of satisfaction. Sure enough, she was on the spot said: It is this time of booming garment factory, four workshops covered workers. In addition to team leader, workshop director, quality inspector, back office and factory leaders are from Shanghai, the distribution of all on the line from all over the girls from outside. It is said that a joint venture with Japan soon, so the line was continued enrollment of women workers. and I was hired with the approval of more than thirty women workers receiving training in a week, will set up a new plant. in a formal garment factory work, this is the dream of rural girls. to work the first day, I took the job as a permanent job. was very naive, thinking that as long as the opportunity to seize a job, life will be worry-free.
now want to come, if not months Pu garment factory, I was in Shanghai working experience will be a pale. As if I did not hit a rock through the mountain, my boy the same time will not make any sense. In the seven garment factories time, my life completely reborn, an essential process.
as a ready-made world, not smooth, there is no absolute in life as well the next day when I officially entered mm Pu garment factory on the door , the beginning of my sewing career women, I fully comprehend the true meaning of this sentence.
first day of work, I realized that this girl seems to me to do so for work actually contains many invisible hardships and toil. We, the beginning of apprentices into the plant, the first step is to learn to face high-speed lockstitch sewing machine. but that the machines are powered by voltage is not easy to control, although that seems very simple mm toe pedal, it turn on the whirring flight; heel pay attention pedal, it stopped. However, in its turn when flying, but also on hand with the sewing, if not with understanding, rapid sewing needle is possible with your fingers tied into a hornet's nest.
arrived in garment factories, to clothing and I know nothing about the other girls from outside the master of no less endure verbal abuse, responsible for training our new staff of the Shanghai master is a fat man, surnamed Pan, we call him Pan master. Perhaps the people of Shanghai as his sense of superiority for those of us girls from outside were filled with contempt. He told us often do not have good face, a small mistake was hammering discredited by a few. every girls from outside to hear him lecture, all of them have kept quiet.
the seventh day to the factory, so that each of us sewing Pan master a boy shorts, to test our Pan Master picked up my , my face burning up in an instant, the feeling of shame burning my mind. I want to cry, would like to retort, but I do not have the courage.
Finally, I said nothing, just quietly removed the trousers, re-sewing. but my mind was in the teeth: However, only a few days, I learned to sew for the price paid in blood. That day, I'm just good at the stitched clothes, Pan master visited over, stopped beside me, watching me sew. my heart a panic , co-ordination of hands and feet are also in turmoil, suddenly, fingers felt the sting of the needle up and down fast action of the left index finger into me, bleeding drops of red cloth in the chip. I'm shocked, hurt and afraid to let me know the measures. Pan master cursed: There are countless small needle, one of the eyes wearing a broken needle tip in the mountains than in hh that pain when a stone hit several times broke his hands and feet to hurt, when the pain is not only the fingers with heart pain, more hh
pain of shame to take the needle in the infirmary, the long endure the terrible pain as the tears finally poured out. infirmary that kind of female doctor comforted me: bar girls will be so once, after careful it wants. been marked forever inferior brand? I do not recognize, but also not willing to.

【home one night and found a house in the rain, put the clothes in the cardboard boxes have been thoroughly soaked. I looked up to see the treetops mm Felt roof was blown off by a storm during the day hh my real tears! I put all the wet clothes piled on the bed, on the way guarding a pile of wet clothes to sit all night.】
life is not believe in tears. cried over pain, I can only tilted bandaged fingers continue to work. because life can not be made at any time pause the DVD player It can not come to a halt waiting for your pain in the past.
month later, I had turned positive. became the formal workers, with the garment factory signed a three-year labor contract. factory deducted from the wages of workers in at least one thousand dollars deposit. If the workers from the factory halfway through, the deposit refunded.
garment factories do is live line, piece rate, hard work and overtime is common. to do more live, more Zhengdian wages , 6 o'clock every morning I went to the factory, came back 10 pm rental. One night, when I returned it, actually suffered a Under the non-stop rain, rain at night is always white fine. the road is full of water, shop around and sisters from all corners of their hometown legend suffered a flood, the worst is said to Anhui. my heart to mention up, home of the flood is issued every year, the annual floods will drown the steps to my house. But do not write did not phone home, the estimation should not it. However, the reason may be because of the flood Some people see the scared of the animals are active up.
that night, was nearly eleven o'clock when I got home, I opened the door, as usual, to go to bed and pull the light cord. fifteen-watt light bulb immediately Yun Huang light to issue. because of the rain reaching the sky, the room filled with a musty earth and straw, the kitchen waste is piled walls and straw. Then, I turned to close the door to the moment I turned around I stared mm huddled in the corner behind the door with a large group of creepy, like little eyes shining in the dim light of light hh
sly dark God, I fear most is the snake. a child walking barefoot in the field of small road, even see a dead snake, I would scared wits, jumping to escape. The emergence of this snake make me feel hopeless! it will not bite me? It has no toxic? me where to find reinforcement? I wanted to call, but has middle of the night, who would ignore me? shouted to the snake may be frightened, it will attack it to me! I was also thinking of half a minute fast, or decided to uninvited guest in a friendly manner, used long-handled broom, thank God, thanks, or long-handled. I carefully that no malicious red snake with a broom swinging, hands it to leave. it begins to creep up, a group of ah! foot to two meters long. but it did not travel to the threshold there, but along the foot of my bed in the direction to swim. I am anxious, and broom wielding big up the intensity, while ; to call, the snake paused, looked at me, then turned around to see the door, the door Heiqu Qu, is it like the world. It seemed to understand, and turned his head swam to the door. It had not crossed the threshold, and from the threshold of a hole drilled out below. must have a channel that is it. The snake along the outside of the foot of the wall and swam to the woods, rare, And the sound winded winded way away. I firmly closed the door, a cold sweat.
I basically did not sleep that night, sick bed to open the cardboard boxes, a piece Doulou inside the clothes, for fear of snake hidden inside a group. I again checked the bed turned over the mat, but also long-handled broom under the bed with shoes one by one to fiddle with it again, though never noticed any danger, but I could not sleep, half awake the night lights on.
or that month, one day at home, found a house in the rain, put the clothes have been thoroughly soaked cardboard boxes. I looked up to see the treetops mm Felt roof was blown off by a storm during the day hh my real tears! I all the wet clothes piled on the bed, guarding a pile of wet clothes to sit like that all night.
to work the next day, I to the workers about the neighborhood around the village there is no room available for rent, and finally in Malaysia Jing asked to have a bridge. That was a farmer, there is a two-story buildings, trying to rent the downstairs one side out, the rent per month fifty dollars. utilities each have five dollars and a total of six per month ten dollars. I wound rented. then I purchased a simple pots and pans, then the birth of a humble home.
the next six years, I spent in this small room. it was like honest elders witnessed the joys and sorrows of my joy in Shanghai.
I finally have the courage to write to his family. I confidently told my parents: I am always reluctant to return home life, so I was in Shanghai Station a stable foothold, I will send you all received Shanghai. I also guarantee home on time every month receive my money.
do not know what their parents received this letter I thought, I choose for their own pride and faith. because I have to change their destiny and hard work.
into the garment factories from the first three months, my performance began to skyrocket, the leader and director of the workshop are to me light. because I can
early to come to work at six in the morning at ten o'clock came back. In addition to food and the toilet, basically no time to waste, I can do one of two people live. Every time a new product, I always asked to do the most difficult to do the process, such as shirt collars, pants pockets and zippers, etc., because the more difficult process, the more work points. the most one month, I got the 268 wage. monthly wages in the day , the first thing I ran to the monthly Town post office, a home exchange to three-fifths of the rest in a deal with rent and food, a books, where I have a monthly Town May Yang bookstore, But I always have to look at the book when their feet, write several lines express, always have to stay up every night to sleep until 12 o'clock. when young, stay up late do not feel tired, but because reading the book, all night find it very sweet. can be said that in those days of living alone a foreign land, and books of poetry and a fragrance of my meager help of a night.

【my reading on the topic I do not understand your discrimination. Write a short article, it shook the entire garment factories.
discrimination, almost every migrant farmers working in a common expression of the city.
in the factory, Shanghai local people are generally not to line the girls from outside their own people as to read. that girls from outside, showing facial features and the lofty air of superiority between the city and contempt. learned to swallow, it is a person under the eaves had to bow to the helpless. factory there was the old master quality control, perhaps among the best month for me jealous, he's on my exceptionally careful inspection process responsible, the point penalty with no mercy. and the same small problems, in the case of Shanghai people to do the procedure, then you can just rework changes, not be subject to fine points. Every time the radio workshop called my name , so I went to visit quality workshop, my heart began to scared, not afraid of a fine, but I especially hate the harsh quality inspector on the nitpicking.
1991 years held in a variety show, I volunteered, registration and recitations. Workshop Director asked me recite what works, and I said I wrote it myself. She look at me doubtfully, agreed. I have my ideas.
party is in the canteen held, three or four hundred people packed a huge cafeteria. cadres and the town manager of the Shanghai apparel import and export companies have come, and the size of the factory cadres were happily sitting in the audience. until the last stage, I did anyone see what I wrote. until my turn to perform on stage, I let the audience open to all for a surprise, I recite the topic The whole plant of more than three hundred foreign workers to write, write on the fate of our unyielding, but also wrote the eyes of the question of discrimination.
is hard work for reward, to change the destiny, and we do not come here to beg, please respect us and respect your brothers and sisters as hh silent extent that I am proud of how much moved by the people of Shanghai. a leadership of uniform size of the audience looked at me, their eyes are a rather deep, I could not see the contents of their eyes. but I saw before Several girls from outside Yankuangshirun row, they looked at me with worship.
Let me recite this three or four hundred people in the garment factory suddenly become a the. Pan director of the Utah for the appreciation I personally encouraging me to the workshop: There is no avail, I had to work hard. I have to it yourself!
later, this small article published in the reported that article, only a few dollars paid for them, but I felt no small satisfaction and great self-confidence. Since then, the details of a mood or a life can become my writing material. even buy a carp for dinner, I will write a , writing can only be regarded as a hobby. At that time I thought he might make life seamstresses. a little girl from the countryside, not any culture, not any patron, if a firm foothold in the Greater Shanghai, to be a sewing family workers have been worth the high burn incense. not to mention at the time, this garment factory future looks extremely beautiful.
1992 年 5 months, the garment factory and a Japanese joint venture, officially changed its name to company more firmly.
joint venture, the factory to expand production lines, and the recruitment of a number of foreign workers, set up a new workshop. and I, even fortunate enough to be promoted for the production of the factory head, then know that it is highly recommended director Pan The. factory there are four sewing workshop, in addition to a cutting plant and a packaging plant ironing. Each sewing workshop has four groups, each of fourteen five employees. In the past, cadres above the head were held in Shanghai. to my group, even the exception.
first became a small head, I was surprise and fear, fear to live up to the expectations of bosses. Every day is diligent, with just Ningxia recruited a group of girls, Shoubashoujiao their go-between, adjust the needle straight away and the most basic sewing skills. The face is the plateau rouge UV coated roasted as the Ningxia girl seems to be original I also clumsy, just junior high school They graduated to play heavy heart, fundamentally lost its rigid boring line of work. a simple line, they are among some people actually learned a week also have crooked seam. Some girls because of vacation leave to the stomach pain, it is necessary leave to rest. the slightest rebuke, they will be tears. I will not have the heart, and remind himself that he first came to the factory, he was ridiculed in every possible way Pan master, think of their own grievances and anger at that time suffered hh
