Dongshan Town (xiongshan Town, Qiongshan city), Haikou City, Hainan Province, is located at the junction of two counties, Chengmai and Ding An. It is the largest town in Qiongshan City, with a population of over 50 thousand.

The traditional industry in the town is the clothing industry.

There are dozens of large and small garment factories.

The largest garment factories include Dong Qi, xiera, and so on, with hundreds of personnel and thousands of people.

In addition to supplying the local market in Hainan, Dongshan clothing is also shipped to Guangdong for wholesale and sold throughout the country.

In addition to the few male workers, the workers in the garment factories are almost all female workers, aged from just graduated from primary school to old age.

Most of the young people go to work in factories, while those who are old get the parts to go home to process.

At present, besides Dongshan's local and accessory towns, the women workers who work in Dongshan clothing factory also come from all cities and counties in the province, especially Qiongzhong, Tuchang and Ding An.

Dongshan clothing factory flourishing situation appeared in the late 80s and early 90s.

At that time, the number was large, but the scale was small.

Workers usually get their parts home for processing.

By the end of 90s and early twenty-first Century, some small-scale garment factories went bankrupt, and some of them grew in scale. They built large factories and realized the production of water. All the workers went to work in the factory.

In 80s, people envied "10000 yuan households". In 90s, 10000 yuan households were nothing new, 100 thousand were not few, and 1 million were not many.

In the late 90s and early twenty-first Century, the multimillionaire was no wonder.

It is an indisputable fact that people's average incomes are getting higher and higher throughout the country.

What is amazing is that in Dongshan, people are walking the opposite way. The boss's purse is getting more and more drums. It is said that Billionaires will not be doubted, but the workers are getting poorer and poorer, because the income has not increased over the years, and the working hours are getting longer and longer. Sometimes even overnight, the working time exceeds 16 hours a day.

In the late 80s and early 90s, it was common for workers who worked hard to earn tens of thousands of yuan a year by relying on their spare parts to go home.

By the end of 90s, the hours of work were getting longer and longer, and income was getting less and less. Few people could earn 10 thousand yuan a year.

By the beginning of twenty-first Century, it had worked hard for 1 years to earn 6000 yuan or so.

The average daily working hours in busy seasons are more than 12 hours.

Workers do not settle monthly wages, but at the end of each year, they can pay for basic living expenses.

These workers have no benefits, no holidays, no maternity leave.

The manufacturers did not sign any formal labor contracts with them, but there were many unwritten but exploitative rules: in one year, if you never want to work in the factory again, the accumulated wages will be deducted 30%.

And usually work, because it is the assembly line work, whether or not to work, must stay there.

8~12 a.m., 2~6 p.m., 8~12 p.m.!

Normal working hours are 12 hours a day, not to mention overtime.

The average daily income is 20 yuan, that is to say, the average hourly wage is less than 2 yuan.

And late, early leave, leave the money to be deducted, less 5 yuan, 10 yuan, more than a few dozen yuan.

These women workers sacrificed their time in the girlhood and sacrificed their love months. They sacrificed their lactation time to love their children, sacrificed their happy time with their husbands and children, and even sacrificed their time to educate their children.

They do not have weekends, no holidays, just like robots, and have been integrated with sewing machines since they were girls.
