The team that entered the factory to recruit workers meandered along the street, moving step by step. The roads are bustling with traffic, and trucks pulling goods come in and out with a bang. The factory gate is pulled with an electric fence, and the security guards are maintaining order.

The camera of the CCTV program team started from the factory gate and filmed the long queue. An assistant director of the program team rushed over the next day to direct the female reporter and cameraman to shoot the required materials.

Most of the young people who entered the factory were only seventeen or eighteen years old, thin and ignorant, and walked into the factory with the crowd. They were sent by local government organizations. Because the number of places to enter the factory is limited, all places rely on grabbing.

When they arrived at the factory, the city cadres finally found a few workers who were willing to be interviewed by the program team. It's better to be a 'worker' than a child. They are really young.

"Anyone under the age of 17 is sent to a technical school for one year of training. Seventeen to eighteen training for half a year. If you are above 18, the training will be one to three months, depending on the situation.

Before training, a physical examination should be done to screen out those who are not suitable for the production line. The 'Holy Light' is worthy of these dolls. If they stay in their hometown, they will have no interest for the rest of their lives, and they may even have to go to prison. ”

The cadres set up a few bamboo chairs and pulled the young workers to sit in a circle. The female reporter grabbed the microphone and asked one by one, and the cameraman was next to her.

In the first ten minutes, everyone didn't talk much, basically asking and answering. After chatting for half an hour, the female reporter finally let the young people take the initiative to speak.

When asked if they would like to come out to work, the young workers all nodded their heads. A young man of the Yi nationality talked about the township cadres coming to the door, saying that he could earn at least 200 a month if he had a job, but his parents pushed him out without asking what he was doing.

"If you don't come out, you can't do it, the village is too poor, you can only grow corn and potatoes, and you can eat rice all on handout. In the past, I didn't even have to eat potatoes, and they were even more bitter. ”

The Yi guy's Mandarin is not good, and he can't speak many words. But when the female reporter listens to it, she can feel the suffering caused by poverty and isolation.

"There are no roads in the village, so you can only get to the town by horse-drawn carriage. Transporting some mountain goods to sell, not to mention people when they come back, even the horses are tired and lame. I saw a car for the first time when I left the village, and the first time I wore it cleanly, I felt very good at everything. ”

When the young people talk about the current situation, they all grin and feel deeply satisfied.

It is hard for people living in cities to imagine that there are people in remote areas who are so far away from modern civilization. They have no electricity, no roads, and even water, and they are so busy all year round that they can't earn much money.

The poorer you are, the more you can't get rid of the fate of hardship. They can't save money, they can't provide a good education for their offspring, they don't have access to health care, they have only enough income to make ends meet, and they don't have the skills to survive in the outside world.

Without external help, poverty will remain perpetuated. However, this is not the most serious problem.

"We are very close to Myanmar and there are a lot of drug dealers. Because they are poor, many people sell drugs for others for a few dozen yuan. The township cadres said they couldn't do it, and the people in the village knew that they couldn't do it.

The anti-narcotics police often come to arrest drug traffickers, but they can't catch them all, but they catch more and more. So when the township cadres said they were recruiting, my parents hurriedly sent me out. The village really can't stay any longer.

This city is so good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. I just want to make more money now and get my parents out. The Yi guy said with tears in his eyes, but also full of hope for the future.

Other young workers have had similar experiences. Compared with the young people in the city, they have a low cultural quality, but they are willing to work hard, work hard, and never want to go back when they enter the city, and they are extremely willing to stay.

"What about the people in the village?" The female reporter asked again.

Young people don't know.

The cadres next to him interjected and replied, "Build roads, build schools, expand counties and cities, and move people out of remote areas." At the beginning of the year, the president of 'Shengguang' said that he would come to Yunnan to invest, and he will now take out all the money he makes from selling VCDs to continue investing.

The school can get the young dolls out first, let them go to at least one junior high school, and the good ones will go to high school and enter the university, otherwise they will enter the technical school after finishing junior high school.

'Holy Light' also took down several technical schools in the city and reorganized them. I also went there last month, the paramilitary management, a lot stricter, I can still learn a lot after two or three years of study, and I will have a job when I come out.

Adults organize themselves to do agriculture, which is more difficult. I started to conduct research in February, but I don't have a clue yet, and it is estimated that I will not have a plan until next year.

The point is that in many places there are no roads or electricity at all, and it is very difficult for us to carry out our work. To solve these problems, at least hundreds of billions of dollars will be invested. It is estimated that I will not see the day when I will not see the electricity and roads in the villages. ”

The city cadres are quite optimistic about the future. But no matter how optimistic he is, he can't be happy about the poverty at the grassroots level in the province. No one could have imagined what it would look like in ten or twenty years?

Everyone always feels that the 'Holy Light' is very powerful, but it can't be so powerful that it is boundless. People are used to thinking linearly about the future, but they never think of an 'exponential growth'.

'Holy Light Audio-Visual 'may have to recruit 15,000 general workers this year. Then in two years, the production of VCDs will reach 5 million units, and the number of workers will be a great 100,000.

But how many young people in Yunnan need to work?

"The province expects that 'Shengguang Audiovisual' can create 10 to 2 billion profits and taxes every year, and solve about 3 to 50,000 jobs." City officials hesitated when they said the number.

The female reporter keenly grasped this hesitation and asked, "Is this number high or low?" In her inner judgment, billions of profits and taxes, and tens of thousands of jobs are very high.

The same is true for large central enterprises.

But the city cadres scratched their heads, "This estimate is made by the provincial light industry department." But there is a rumor in private that when the president of 'Holy Light' heard this number, he was very disdainful that the province looked down on people too much. ”

The female reporter was also curious, "Is there any follow-up measures for 'Holy Light'?" ”

"At present, we mainly promote VCD, and use the profits brought by VCD to establish a full set of white goods industry. As for the rest, we really don't know. After all, everything is just getting started, and there will be a clearer development plan until at least next year. ”

Speaking of this, the city cadres smiled again, "If you come next year, the situation will definitely be different." The speed at which the Light does things is really fast. We don't know for sure. ”

The interview lasted for two hours, and the program team was quite satisfied. The young people who entered the factory talked about their current life with a smile on their faces. The accompanying cadres also did not shy away from saying good things and bad things.

It's just that at the end of the interview, the female reporter asked again: "Now that "Sword of China" has been broadcast, the social response is extremely strong, and the people are particularly concerned." What happened to the drug problem at the border? ”

The city cadres also looked heavy, "The problem is still very serious. The main reason is that there is no way to solve the source of poison outside the country, and we can't get rid of it no matter how we fight it. Alas, this is really difficult! ”
