A little break in a spring festival


A spring festival started ten days ago. Our factory started to take a break at 20th, and everyone was back to their hometown including Chin Chin, Hwang-bo, and most of factory workers.

Almost all of our factory workers came from other areas, such as Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, and Hubei. Yiwu is an area in which has the largest number of the influx of farmers who want to earn money nearby. They usually go to Shanghai and Guangzhou, but actually in China, people who don’t have a career, a high level of education, and money can’t help wandering in some rural areas.

There are several strengths of the Communist Party, but this party shows their ability to distribute wealth a little bit. It takes 5 or 6 hours to go to Jiangxi as soon as possible, but it takes over one day to go to Hunan and Hubei. People living there might be tired and exhausted, but they actually feel great about going to their hometown once a year.

Every employee in our factory has a 7-day work week, so the 20-day bread for the spring festival is a good reward for them. I gave them bonus with their income. I just think it might meaningful for them to receive it even though it’s just around 100 won.
Because everyone came from other regions, some local people looked at them warily, especially foreigners. They feel that the foreigners would leave soon, so it’s not easy for the local people to trust them…
During the festival, we usually arrange our factory office to check how we will operate our factory this year, how many people will work, and what general strategies we have. I am really glad to spend time without any thoughts for 2-3 days before and after the festival.
I should be always tense because our factory is located in China, but during this festival, I can feel peace of my mind. They will be back to Yiwu within ten days and make a brand shopping bag, fold the shopping bag, put straps on it, attach angular paper, and wrap it…

Of course, some people don’t come back, and some people are back late.
Anyway, I will meet them soon. Then, we will work enough to bleed at the nose for a year and take a 20-day break in the 2015 spring festival. My life and their lives all seem to be in the same wheel.

I think there comes a point where they assimilate more than now soon. I hope everyone having a healthy and happy spring festival break.
