About why I wrote this novel
When I was nineteen years old, I worked in a well-known shoe factory in the south. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is a very important department in the factory: bottom processing, referred to as bottom plus.
Assembly line, Changbai shift, twelve hours a day, piecework, monthly salary of three to four thousand.
There are ten assembly lines on the second floor of Dijia, and only eight are usually in operation, and one assembly line is a group.
Every morning, the huge snake-like machine starts, and all the personnel arrive to start the painting, baking, fitting, and strong pressure point pressure cleaning inspection, all the time.
If you can't stop, the sole will be backlogged, and if there is too much backlog, the sole will be scrapped; you can't make a mistake, the mistake is irreparable, and if you make too many mistakes, the sole will be scrapped.
Once scrap is found, your day's wages are gone.
All the employees of Dijia worked hard by the oven-like assembly line, and when they got off work at night, even if they counted nine cold days, they were all sore and sweating.
I've been working here numbly for six months.
Until one day, a certain female employee of Line 4 next door hurriedly walked to the toilet.
That's all about that.
At first, I didn't care, I still pressed the soles from behind, although the assembly line was in a hurry, as long as someone helped, I could always squeeze out a minute or two of toilet time. But there was clearly something wrong with the female employee, and it took her at least five minutes.
As I said, the assembly line is very busy, and all the employees have to work together, and disappearing for a minute or two can help, but four or five minutes is different, and in front of the dense and continuous flow of soles, one person can't do it, unless she has two hands.
The shoes of Line 4 quickly piled up and were limp and deformed under the long baking of the machine, and when the female employee returned, the team leader was furious.
"What did ****** mom do!" The team leader in her twenties hurried to the nose of the female employee, I took the time to take a look, the female employee had a white face and kept apologizing, she was thirty or forty years old, very much like the lady next door to my house.
The team leader had a hot temper, the scolding was hard to listen to, and all kinds of foul language blurted out. Because the woman went to the toilet, the whole line stopped, everyone was busy rescuing the undeformed soles, and the whole workshop was looking at the fourth line, which made the team leader more and more angry.
The young team leader, the scolding was really too ugly, the father and mother were scathing, and the woman who said it couldn't raise her head, but said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, my stomach hurts, I'm sorry." ”
It's a little too much, I thought indifferently, continue to press the sole, which is normal in the bottom processing workshop, scold, write a review, and then fine some money, and it will pass.
It's just that the day was different from usual.
The woman's husband was also at the scene.
A tall, Chinese-faced man stood up suddenly, ran from the farthest Line 9, grabbed the collar of the leader of Line 4, and yelled viciously: "****, you scold again!
The leaders of the other lines rushed up and tried to pull the man away, but the man's strength was so great that he couldn't pull it anywhere. When the team leader saw so many people helping him, he was not to be outdone, and yelled: "If you try it, ****** mother, try it! Believe it or not, you can immediately let the people from the police station come and beat people!"
The woman broke the man's hand vigorously, and spoke with a crying voice: "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
The other team leaders questioned the man: "The matter of the fourth line is about you, what kind of hero are you running to succeed?"
The man yelled, "She's my wife!"
The workshop director also rushed over when he heard the movement, and he said: "Let go of your hands! Whoever dares not let go, immediately roll up the cover and leave, don't even think about taking a dime of wages!"
The team leaders let go of their hands like an electric shock and stood in a row, and the woman suddenly seemed to have divine power, pulled the man to his side, and held his hand tightly.
The workshop director said coldly: "I don't care what happens to you, if you want to fight, I don't care if you leave the factory after work, and I don't care if you kill you, but you fight during working hours, hum!"
He turned around and left: "The person who did it first deducted the day's salary, and the other team leaders should do what they should do, and they don't see how many indicators you still haven't completed, and you still have the heart to persuade you." ”
The team leaders returned to their assembly line and began to supervise and urge, and the team leader of Line 9 shouted from afar: "Why are you still standing there stupidly, hurry back to work!"
The leader of Line 4 straightened his collar, sneered at the engine, the soles of his shoes flowed again, he pointed to the vacant position, and in two short words: "Start work." ”
The woman gave the man a hard push and returned to her position.
I saw tears in the man's eyes.
It turns out that it is so difficult to protect a person.
I was torn day and night, replaying in my mind the woman pushing the man back to his seat and the man in tears.
I was young and frivolous and full of passionate dreams, fantasizing about working hard in the factory and stepping on the pinnacle of life, and I saw the bloody reality for the first time.
I wanted to do something, I wanted to tell them something, but the gravitational pull of reality was too heavy for me to say.
It's only this novel, and I don't know if anyone will like it. For me, it is a memory of that time, a symbol of unwillingness, pain and anger in those years, and it represents the various beings I encountered when I was working outside.
The story is simple: the protagonist leads the "scum" at the bottom to launch a final battle against the "masters" who are high up and forget the concept of equality for all: "Slaves in life or freedom in death!"
What they lose is the chains, and what they will gain is the Liuhe Eight Desolations!
