Features: Born in a rural area, I longed for the vibrant world outside from a young age but couldn’t find a way forward! My failure in the college entrance exam, unsuccessful attempt to join the army, and lack of job opportunities left me in a bleak and hopeless situation. To break free from the village and seek a path to the outside world, I went to Shenzhen alone to work. The Road of Working records the life fragments of my seven years in Shenzhen; tells the story of my journey from a conveyor belt laborer to an electronic engineer; narrates the stories of countless ordinary people who came to Shenzhen in search of a way out. There are no thrilling technical plots or breathtaking events in the text—only the unforgettable life in the world of labor. May these words evoke a sense of familiarity with the life of working.
