{\an8}ZHILI, ZHEJIANG PROVINCE, 2015

7
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:22,910
Hey, wait!

8
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:24,350
What?

9
00:01:24,590 --> 00:01:26,910
I heard what the old lady said.

10
00:01:29,150 --> 00:01:30,270
So what?

11
00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:33,550
I don't care.

12
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:36,190
- Those are my scissors!
- Chill.

13
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,775
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 57 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

14
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:41,950
You done yet?

15
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:44,190
Stop after this one, ok?

16
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,299
{\an8}WANG WENBING ("Turtle"),
21, from Anqing, Anhui Province

17
00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:46,750
Fuck, wait for me!

18
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:49,150
You still have loads to do.

19
00:01:49,390 --> 00:01:50,110
My ma.

20
00:01:50,350 --> 00:01:51,470
You doing one bundle?

21
00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:54,750
- My ma's coming
to help me do the hems.

22
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:56,110
She's on her way.

23
00:01:56,270 --> 00:01:58,510
On her day off?

24
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:01,310
Your ma's coming to do your job?

25
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,110
Just to help.

26
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,415
{\an8}HE QI,
21, from Anqing, Anhui Province

27
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:09,310
I'll slow down a bit.

28
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:16,350
Turtle, give me a smoke
and I'll wait for you.

29
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:19,870
First to finish
hands out ciggies.

30
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:21,470
You're the slow one.

31
00:02:21,790 --> 00:02:23,870
Just letting you catch up.

32
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,390
Who needs your help?

33
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:35,630
I bought some water

34
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:37,950
when I dropped in on your sister.

35
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:39,870
Where is it?

36
00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:41,790
I forgot to take it

37
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:44,830
and didn't like to go back
just to get it.

38
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:46,350
Too many layers!

39
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,830
What's wrong with this thing?

40
00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:53,390
They're not lined up.

41
00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:54,510
Don't worry.

42
00:02:54,670 --> 00:02:56,590
Keep them flat.

43
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:02,270
You press them down flat

44
00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:04,190
with your hand.

45
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,630
Tell me about it.

46
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:08,270
All these needles are blunt!

47
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:11,070
Five or six layers is too thick.

48
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:12,670
It'll never work.

49
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:15,230
You just have to know how.

50
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:16,430
Too many layers.

51
00:03:16,670 --> 00:03:19,150
When it's thick,
you take it slow,

52
00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:20,190
don't rush,

53
00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:21,630
firm and steady.

54
00:03:22,990 --> 00:03:24,990
Three models in one day!

55
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:30,590
What's up?

56
00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:33,070
Not working?

57
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:35,710
So come over.

58
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:38,830
Uh-huh.

59
00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:44,430
- Where are you?
- Right here!

60
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:46,110
Where did you go?

61
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:49,470
You're working tomorrow.

62
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:52,430
I don't even have his number.

63
00:03:54,030 --> 00:03:54,990
Oh yeah, how?

64
00:03:55,230 --> 00:03:56,030
I just do.

65
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,430
Do you know anyone here?

66
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:00,990
They're still working.

67
00:04:01,310 --> 00:04:02,270
Who do you know?

68
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:06,430
My sister's still working.

69
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:08,270
- Where?
- In this shop.

70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,375
{\an8}ZHANG XIANG,
20, from Anqing, Anhui Province

71
00:04:08,430 --> 00:04:09,390
Here?

72
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:12,510
Your sister's here?

73
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:16,190
What, here?

74
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:17,230
No, not here!

75
00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:18,670
So she's inside?

76
00:04:21,230 --> 00:04:22,270
She'll be out soon.

77
00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:24,030
She's still working.

78
00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:26,750
Can't she get away?

79
00:04:27,870 --> 00:04:30,910
They're busy and
short of people.

80
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:32,190
Oh, right.

81
00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:38,270
See you outside, ok?

82
00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:40,590
Did your ma call?

83
00:04:40,990 --> 00:04:42,350
She came by already.

84
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:44,510
Get some smokes!

85
00:04:45,070 --> 00:04:46,510
Wait for me outside!

86
00:04:46,910 --> 00:04:47,710
I'll be along.

87
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:50,990
I just need to.

88
00:04:53,230 --> 00:04:54,350
Check something out.

89
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:57,310
What?

90
00:04:57,550 --> 00:04:58,350
Any money in it?

91
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:01,310
I'll go later.

92
00:05:02,830 --> 00:05:03,870
Ah Jie's gone.

93
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:07,310
What do we do?

94
00:05:08,590 --> 00:05:09,470
He's gone.

95
00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:11,550
Come on, I know this chick.

96
00:05:11,710 --> 00:05:12,990
I have to finish.

97
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:14,990
You sure she's there?

98
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:17,150
Who is she?

99
00:05:17,790 --> 00:05:20,270
I had to wash yesterday's bundle,

100
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:22,270
it's not finished.

101
00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:25,390
She's cute. You're not interested?

102
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:28,110
Here, I'll show you.

103
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:31,070
She's pretty cool.

104
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:39,150
You're really chasing girls like her?

105
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:41,230
You meet her online?

106
00:05:41,470 --> 00:05:42,670
No, man, I know her!

107
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,830
Look, here's a photo.

108
00:05:46,910 --> 00:05:47,630
She's real!

109
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:49,390
I'll ask her over.

110
00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:54,590
When will they fix this machine?

111
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:57,550
No chance, it's all clogged up.

112
00:05:58,190 --> 00:06:00,030
keep breaking needles.

113
00:06:00,190 --> 00:06:02,270
The bobbin case is wobbly,

114
00:06:02,590 --> 00:06:04,110
so the needle gets stuck,

115
00:06:04,270 --> 00:06:07,070
then it comes up again
and the thread snaps.

116
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:09,550
Too much crap inside.

117
00:06:09,790 --> 00:06:10,990
It worked fine before.

118
00:06:11,150 --> 00:06:12,670
Well, now it's filthy.

119
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:14,590
Never had a problem.

120
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:16,750
I told you, it's clogged!

121
00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:19,070
Bound to get stuck.

122
00:06:24,670 --> 00:06:25,470
There you go.

123
00:06:25,710 --> 00:06:27,070
Just needed cleaning.

124
00:06:27,390 --> 00:06:28,510
So it works now?

125
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:30,350
The case isn't broken?

126
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:31,150
No.

127
00:06:31,390 --> 00:06:33,790
But it will need replacing soon.

128
00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:35,310
Let's not wait,

129
00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:36,590
do it now.

130
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:37,550
It can wait.

131
00:06:37,790 --> 00:06:39,550
Cool it, the boss will pay.

132
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:41,550
They're expensive.

133
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:42,990
The boss will pay.

134
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:44,750
You think so?
Sure.

135
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:46,670
Tell him what I said.

136
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:48,830
You can tell him yourself.

137
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:52,270
He keeps pushing me
to work faster!

138
00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:53,950
How can with this thing?

139
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:55,710
And cut the loose threads.

140
00:06:56,190 --> 00:06:57,230
What threads?

141
00:06:57,470 --> 00:06:58,910
Did he ask you to cut them?

142
00:06:59,070 --> 00:06:59,870
Eh?

143
00:06:59,870 --> 00:07:02,350
You have to trim the threads, right?

144
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:03,390
I don't get it.

145
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:04,990
The loose ends!

146
00:07:05,150 --> 00:07:05,870
Loose ends?

147
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:07,150
That's right.

148
00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:08,190
Doesn't matter.

149
00:07:08,350 --> 00:07:09,710
Oh, really?
Nope.

150
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:12,030
This machine can't do that.

151
00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:14,510
What does he expect?

152
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:16,430
It's slowing me down.

153
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:19,310
You know I'm
the fastest worker here?

154
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:23,870
The fastest talker, anyway.

155
00:07:24,590 --> 00:07:26,590
And pretty sure of yourself.

156
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,535
{\an8}WANG YULAN,
22, from Anqing, Anhui Province

157
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,590
Fed-up.

158
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:03,470
Don't leave your stuff here.

159
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:05,630
Take it all-upstairs.

160
00:09:01,550 --> 00:09:02,190
The door.

161
00:09:02,350 --> 00:09:03,390
Have to close it.

162
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:11,230
Shall we?

163
00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:13,390
Let's go down and see.

164
00:09:55,630 --> 00:09:57,230
Yalong's back at work.

165
00:09:59,630 --> 00:10:01,310
Not like you two.

166
00:10:01,790 --> 00:10:04,670
The boss is fixing your machine.

167
00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:08,670
It's all in pieces!

168
00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:13,150
Where's the presser foot?

169
00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:14,430
And the rest of it?

170
00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:17,390
He took your batch down too.

171
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:21,550
He could see the
presser foot was sticking,

172
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:24,990
so he took it apart.
Just your machine.

173
00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:26,350
Where did he put it?

174
00:10:26,510 --> 00:10:27,390
No idea.

175
00:10:27,550 --> 00:10:29,470
He couldn't find the screwdrivers,

176
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:31,550
and you were still in bed.

177
00:10:32,350 --> 00:10:34,990
What about Yalong's?
He didn't touch it.

178
00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:37,310
- And Turtle's?
- Neither.

179
00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:41,550
Yesterday he went up

180
00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:43,230
but couldn't find anybody.

181
00:10:43,550 --> 00:10:46,750
Someone opened the door
and yelled "Yalong!"

182
00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:51,390
Hey, don't film me.

183
00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:54,190
Film someone downstairs.

184
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:55,950
Not me.

185
00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:58,990
Film one of those guys next door.

186
00:11:09,550 --> 00:11:10,110
Hey, bro...

187
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:11,390
There are girls here.

188
00:11:11,550 --> 00:11:12,830
Stick around, no rush.

189
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:14,670
How about us four

190
00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:16,670
get something to eat?

191
00:11:19,790 --> 00:11:21,550
Three girls, right?

192
00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:23,150
Plus two next door.

193
00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:25,630
Hey Turtle, let's eat.

194
00:11:26,430 --> 00:11:27,550
What?

195
00:11:27,710 --> 00:11:29,790
Let's just go down,

196
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:31,230
find a place for a snack.

197
00:11:31,470 --> 00:11:33,630
They're buying, aren't they?

198
00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:49,230
The shop next door is hiring

199
00:11:49,470 --> 00:11:51,150
- Three jobs going.
- Three?

200
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:52,110
Have to check.

201
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:53,470
Where are they from?

202
00:11:54,190 --> 00:11:55,630
They're from our town.

203
00:11:57,710 --> 00:11:58,910
- What's it like?
- What?

204
00:11:59,150 --> 00:12:00,350
The conditions.

205
00:12:00,590 --> 00:12:01,950
Working conditions.

206
00:12:02,190 --> 00:12:03,710
They're straight about rates.

207
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:08,030
I know, I've seen the place.

208
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:10,110
I know the tailor at no. 61.

209
00:12:10,270 --> 00:12:11,550
Any girls there?

210
00:12:12,110 --> 00:12:13,790
Our boss is a bit touchy.

211
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:15,710
There's work here.
If you all go...

212
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:19,550
- Do it quickly.
- Quick or slow,

213
00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:21,310
it won't matter,

214
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:22,670
that's just how he is.

215
00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:24,590
So you're quitting?

216
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:28,190
There's work if you want it.

217
00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:31,470
He hasn't told you to go.

218
00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:32,270
Or has he?

219
00:12:32,510 --> 00:12:35,230
He said, "if you don't like it, go!"

220
00:12:35,470 --> 00:12:36,190
Really?

221
00:12:36,430 --> 00:12:37,790
The guy's crazy.

222
00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:39,550
That's just how he talks.

223
00:12:40,030 --> 00:12:42,590
He's not really pushing you.

224
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:45,310
But you want to stay?

225
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:47,310
I can, I don't have to.

226
00:12:47,550 --> 00:12:49,150
I'd have to find a new place.

227
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:50,910
- Takes time.
- Let's all go.

228
00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:52,590
I'll stick with Turtle.

229
00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:54,750
And dump me, right?

230
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:57,790
I need to find a good shop.

231
00:12:58,670 --> 00:12:59,790
What do you say?

232
00:13:00,430 --> 00:13:02,110
Are you coming or not?

233
00:13:02,830 --> 00:13:04,110
You want to earn more?

234
00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:06,350
If I take a delivery job,

235
00:13:06,830 --> 00:13:08,510
I won't earn much.

236
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:10,750
Maybe 300¥ a night.

237
00:13:19,790 --> 00:13:20,750
Found anything yet?

238
00:13:20,990 --> 00:13:22,510
I'll help you.

239
00:13:22,670 --> 00:13:23,390
You decide.

240
00:13:23,630 --> 00:13:24,110
Where?

241
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:25,630
Anywhere you say.

242
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:27,630
You choose.

243
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:29,390
You'll have to go sometime.

244
00:13:29,630 --> 00:13:31,950
- Where?
- We'll ask Turtle.

245
00:13:32,190 --> 00:13:33,070
Turtle!

246
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:35,630
Wanna go find a shop?

247
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:36,670
You go.

248
00:13:36,990 --> 00:13:39,310
I have to find one for you?

249
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:41,310
You don't have to stay here.

250
00:13:42,190 --> 00:13:42,910
Right?

251
00:13:43,150 --> 00:13:44,510
Do you want to?

252
00:13:44,670 --> 00:13:46,110
- I'm leaving.
- What?

253
00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:46,910
I'm off.

254
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:48,990
So let's find somewhere else.

255
00:13:49,150 --> 00:13:51,230
Don't feel like it.

256
00:13:52,430 --> 00:13:53,710
One with girls.

257
00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:54,670
Whatever.

258
00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:56,670
So what do you want?

259
00:13:56,990 --> 00:13:58,190
Lots of girls there.

260
00:13:58,670 --> 00:13:59,790
So what, man.

261
00:14:00,670 --> 00:14:02,430
Lots of girls here.

262
00:14:02,670 --> 00:14:03,710
- Two.
- Eh?

263
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,775
{\an8}HUA LAO,
21, from Anqing, Anhui Province

264
00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:04,430
Two girls.

265
00:14:05,230 --> 00:14:06,910
And what they both want

266
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,940
{\an8}LIU WANGHONG,
24, from Changling, Anhui Province

267
00:14:07,070 --> 00:14:09,710
is a a guy who'll live
with their family.

268
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:11,790
That's the big fashion now,

269
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:14,910
to bring home a son-in-law.

270
00:14:15,070 --> 00:14:18,350
True, but they don't all find one.

271
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:20,350
That's what they're after, though.

272
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,590
Problem with that is,

273
00:14:22,990 --> 00:14:25,790
you get exploited by the in-laws.

274
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:28,350
Living in her family

275
00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:30,750
Sounds nice,

276
00:14:30,990 --> 00:14:32,190
but you're on the spot.

277
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:33,550
Not so good.

278
00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:34,830
These girls...

279
00:14:34,990 --> 00:14:37,070
So what's the problem?

280
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:40,830
You got both families on your back.

281
00:14:40,990 --> 00:14:44,750
Your parents don't like it
and you work for your in-laws.

282
00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:46,270
You know what?

283
00:14:46,430 --> 00:14:49,230
You just have to
make a heap of cash,

284
00:14:49,470 --> 00:14:51,390
work hard and save money.

285
00:14:51,550 --> 00:14:53,630
Do everything, basically.

286
00:14:53,790 --> 00:14:55,070
That's your marriage,

287
00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:56,670
it's no joyride.

288
00:14:56,830 --> 00:14:59,870
- It was for sons from poor families.
- True.

289
00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:02,910
If you complain back home

290
00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:06,110
your own parents bawl you out.

291
00:15:06,350 --> 00:15:08,510
They won't listen to you,
they just say,

292
00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:10,750
"You have your own family now".

293
00:15:10,990 --> 00:15:12,350
Exactly.

294
00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:15,310
They'll help us for a while,

295
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:18,190
till they hit sixty,
then the pressure builds up.

296
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:21,390
You can earn money,
but that's not enough.

297
00:15:21,550 --> 00:15:23,950
You're the new head of the family.

298
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:27,230
You take a wrong step,
they curse you.

299
00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:30,590
You can't do anything right.

300
00:15:30,830 --> 00:15:33,310
And the whole
neighborhood joins in.

301
00:15:33,790 --> 00:15:36,350
So if you're getting
the same from your wife,

302
00:15:36,590 --> 00:15:38,270
you're in deep shit,

303
00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:40,430
you'll just be her poodle.

304
00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:47,230
My legs hurt,

305
00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:48,830
let's hang out inside.

306
00:15:49,230 --> 00:15:50,670
I can't, some other time.

307
00:15:57,550 --> 00:15:59,310
You little devil!

308
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,784
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 43 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

309
00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:05,950
Hurry up and finish, Li Mao.

310
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,233
{\an8}XU FENG,
21, from Anqing, Anhui Province

311
00:16:06,430 --> 00:16:07,710
Why?

312
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:11,310
want to take a shower.

313
00:16:13,710 --> 00:16:15,470
You'll be back late.

314
00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:16,750
Don't worry.

315
00:16:17,630 --> 00:16:20,270
I spoke with the boss yesterday.

316
00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:22,350
No need to bother him,

317
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:23,710
we're off soon anyway.

318
00:16:34,670 --> 00:16:35,790
What do you mean?

319
00:16:35,950 --> 00:16:38,030
That's a bit sexy.

320
00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:41,790
What? It's not a porn movie!

321
00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:43,790
A bit daring, though.

322
00:16:45,790 --> 00:16:48,110
I look like a coal miner.

323
00:16:48,270 --> 00:16:49,870
He's right!

324
00:17:04,430 --> 00:17:06,270
How many in that bundle?

325
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:08,110
Fourteen.

326
00:17:34,670 --> 00:17:37,070
It was the girl we saw last night.

327
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,430
- From the shop at no. 9.
- Cool outfit.

328
00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:42,990
They would have to film her.

329
00:17:45,470 --> 00:17:47,710
You think she looked that good?

330
00:17:50,190 --> 00:17:52,190
And there's a girl at no. 6.

331
00:17:52,830 --> 00:17:54,270
How do you know?

332
00:17:55,390 --> 00:17:57,150
I saw a picture.

333
00:18:48,030 --> 00:18:50,270
He's the fastest now.

334
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,270
- Who?
- The guy behind you.

335
00:18:53,150 --> 00:18:54,190
Fuck!

336
00:18:57,630 --> 00:18:59,470
Yeah, I know...

337
00:19:01,470 --> 00:19:03,070
How much he makes.

338
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:04,990
7000, tops.

339
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,150
Every day in here,

340
00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:09,390
the noise.

341
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,136
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 61 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

342
00:20:19,710 --> 00:20:21,550
Mm, that smells good!

343
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:23,870
Yeah, wow.

344
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:31,150
- Lijun!
- Yes?

345
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,302
{\an8}HAO LIJUN,
20, from Yatan, Anhui Province

346
00:20:31,390 --> 00:20:34,430
Is the first time you
brought him takeaway?

347
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:37,550
Put it over there for now.

348
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,110
All this still to do?

349
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:46,830
The whole pile?

350
00:20:47,230 --> 00:20:47,870
Yup.

351
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,929
{\an8}RAO ZHIQIANG,
24, from Yatan, Anhui Province

352
00:20:51,790 --> 00:20:53,550
Oh no, not again!

353
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:56,990
You've threaded it wrong.

354
00:20:57,310 --> 00:20:59,630
Slip it in carefully.

355
00:20:59,870 --> 00:21:00,830
Ok, I see.

356
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:02,590
Not that needle.

357
00:21:06,990 --> 00:21:08,750
This one here.

358
00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:18,270
Why doesn't the
bottom thread come up?

359
00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:22,350
What?

360
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:24,510
Why doesn't it sew?

361
00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:26,590
I don't get it.

362
00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:34,910
can't really see.

363
00:21:38,190 --> 00:21:39,230
- Lijun.
- Yes?

364
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:41,230
Where are you from?

365
00:21:42,030 --> 00:21:43,550
The village next to his.

366
00:21:43,950 --> 00:21:46,430
I can't find the needle,
and he's gone.

367
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:48,590
Bring them over.

368
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:50,670
Have you cut them?

369
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:08,190
Should this belt have a patch?

370
00:22:08,590 --> 00:22:11,310
No, overedge stitch,
then sew the tab.

371
00:22:11,710 --> 00:22:12,110
What?

372
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:14,270
You sew the button tab.

373
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:18,510
Bring yours over.

374
00:22:19,310 --> 00:22:20,430
Hey, come on.

375
00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:22,750
Here you go.

376
00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:29,550
I have one left to do.

377
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:35,550
See, look up there.

378
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:52,270
<i>Each naked lie that tears a hole</i>

379
00:22:52,430 --> 00:22:54,910
<i>In my heart and in my soul</i>

380
00:22:55,150 --> 00:22:57,470
<i>Teasing words that all the while</i>

381
00:22:57,630 --> 00:23:00,430
<i>Hide the daggers in your smile</i>

382
00:23:00,590 --> 00:23:03,070
<i>Each naked lie that tears my soul..</i>

383
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,859
{\an8}JIN QUANBING,
19, from Huaining, Anhui Province

384
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:16,510
Dai Ting said,
when she says hello

385
00:23:16,670 --> 00:23:17,870
you just ignore her.

386
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:31,710
Do we take out the crotch piece?

387
00:23:32,590 --> 00:23:34,190
On this model?

388
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:35,070
Hey!

389
00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:37,790
Right, after assembly.

390
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:40,670
I didn't do it that way.

391
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:54,110
Slow and steady,
don't rush it.

392
00:23:57,790 --> 00:23:59,390
Easy does it.

393
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:02,430
I'm sewing the panels together.

394
00:24:02,750 --> 00:24:04,750
Take it slow.

395
00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:06,670
Have you brought them?

396
00:24:06,910 --> 00:24:08,030
The ones for this model?

397
00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:11,870
- I took them down.
- Were they assembled like this?

398
00:24:12,430 --> 00:24:13,870
Those crotchless pants,

399
00:24:14,270 --> 00:24:15,390
the way he makes them..

400
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:18,030
He has his own technique.

401
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:19,550
Completely different.

402
00:24:21,470 --> 00:24:23,070
Not easy.
For sure.

403
00:24:23,550 --> 00:24:24,750
You could try it.

404
00:24:24,910 --> 00:24:26,030
It's hard.

405
00:24:26,430 --> 00:24:29,630
The boss' wife is away,
who's checking?

406
00:24:30,270 --> 00:24:32,030
But if he checks..

407
00:24:32,190 --> 00:24:34,750
They don't all have to be perfect.

408
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:37,710
Just make sure
the top ones look good,

409
00:24:37,870 --> 00:24:39,710
they won't notice the difference.

410
00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:42,270
That's how they do it at no. 4.

411
00:24:42,510 --> 00:24:44,990
- What do you know?
- Piss off!

412
00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:46,430
Here we go...

413
00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:47,230
Just shut it.

414
00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:50,830
Always bitching.

415
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:54,190
I just follow the original.

416
00:24:54,430 --> 00:24:57,550
- I'll go down and show him.
- We did them the same way.

417
00:24:57,710 --> 00:25:00,110
If yours are ok, we're good.

418
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:01,710
So, they say you have gifts

419
00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:03,550
for all the girls?

420
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:04,670
Not at all.

421
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,590
You're still the king.

422
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,778
{\an8}JIN CHENGZI,
21, from Huaining, Anhui Province

423
00:25:11,790 --> 00:25:14,510
That's what they say
at the ice skating rink.

424
00:25:16,270 --> 00:25:18,510
He just wired her 200¥.

425
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:20,430
How much?

426
00:25:21,390 --> 00:25:23,790
Nothing to boast about.

427
00:25:24,510 --> 00:25:25,870
Sure, forget it.

428
00:25:26,030 --> 00:25:27,390
Doesn't mean anything.

429
00:25:27,950 --> 00:25:29,230
Rink tickets have gone up.

430
00:25:29,470 --> 00:25:31,150
Yeah, used to be 12¥.

431
00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:39,630
Full of chicks there yesterday.

432
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:42,510
I have to do some hems,

433
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:44,350
where's the bobbin?

434
00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:46,910
It's in there.

435
00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:06,350
Here I am.

436
00:26:06,510 --> 00:26:08,670
- Nearly done.
- Ok.

437
00:26:09,390 --> 00:26:10,990
So many left to do?

438
00:26:11,630 --> 00:26:13,070
Hurry up, then.

439
00:26:32,830 --> 00:26:33,950
All done.

440
00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:56,830
They're selling fruit.

441
00:26:57,630 --> 00:26:58,830
What have they got?

442
00:26:59,070 --> 00:27:00,750
Apples and oranges.

443
00:27:01,070 --> 00:27:02,430
How much are the oranges?

444
00:27:02,590 --> 00:27:03,390
Dunno.

445
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:05,150
Let's go.

446
00:27:07,550 --> 00:27:09,150
Why are you calling?

447
00:27:15,390 --> 00:27:16,830
What is it?

448
00:27:17,550 --> 00:27:18,750
Ok, go on.

449
00:27:23,390 --> 00:27:24,590
Oi!

450
00:27:26,910 --> 00:27:28,270
The street's full of people.

451
00:27:31,310 --> 00:27:33,070
You all still here?

452
00:27:33,950 --> 00:27:36,350
Lounging around...

453
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,470
Who's lounging?

454
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:41,150
Not tired yet?

455
00:27:41,390 --> 00:27:42,430
We're done.

456
00:27:43,390 --> 00:27:45,550
He looks younger than me.

457
00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:47,390
Course he is.

458
00:27:47,630 --> 00:27:48,750
And getting married?

459
00:27:48,910 --> 00:27:49,550
So young!

460
00:27:49,790 --> 00:27:50,830
Not really.

461
00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:55,230
Is Lijun younger than you?

462
00:27:55,790 --> 00:27:56,990
Three years younger.

463
00:27:57,230 --> 00:27:57,950
Three or four?

464
00:27:58,110 --> 00:27:59,070
How old are you?

465
00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:00,830
He's my age.

466
00:28:01,070 --> 00:28:01,870
How about you?

467
00:28:02,110 --> 00:28:03,630
Born in '91.

468
00:28:04,670 --> 00:28:05,550
And your girl?

469
00:28:05,790 --> 00:28:06,270
'95.

470
00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:08,670
I thought you were three years apart?

471
00:28:08,910 --> 00:28:10,590
She was born in '95.

472
00:28:11,710 --> 00:28:12,430
February '95.

473
00:28:12,670 --> 00:28:14,910
I'm a few years older.

474
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:18,350
Your future wife?

475
00:28:19,630 --> 00:28:21,150
- What?
- Your fiancée.

476
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:23,630
She's too young to marry.

477
00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:25,230
Is that what she says?

478
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:27,950
Haven't you met her family yet?

479
00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:30,270
- It's only been 2 years.
- Not 3 or 4?

480
00:28:30,430 --> 00:28:31,390
No, two years.

481
00:28:31,630 --> 00:28:32,990
A bit more.

482
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:34,990
Two years, hmm.

483
00:28:53,550 --> 00:28:55,710
You'll need a big sheet of fabric.

484
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,620
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 80 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

485
00:29:05,790 --> 00:29:08,190
Does she still have a lot to redo?

486
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,258
{\an8}FU YUN,
23, from Shipai, Anhui Province

487
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,738
{\an8}FANG LINGPING,
23, from Shipai, Anhui Province

488
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:41,950
What did he say just now?

489
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,820
{\an8}LIN SHAO,
17, from Shipai, Anhui Province
Brother of Fang Lingping

490
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,578
{\an8}CHEN XIUWANG,
45, from Anqing, Anhui Province

491
00:31:21,870 --> 00:31:23,470
You go first.

492
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:25,790
What are you doing?

493
00:31:27,470 --> 00:31:30,990
Stitching and assembling
belt bands.

494
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,023
{\an8}CAO DEYIN,
26, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

495
00:31:36,110 --> 00:31:37,150
Is it easy?

496
00:31:37,390 --> 00:31:38,750
It's ok.

497
00:32:01,070 --> 00:32:02,910
Hurry up, I need to use that.

498
00:32:03,150 --> 00:32:05,390
In a hurry, are we?

499
00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:11,550
You're stitching belt-bands, right?

500
00:32:20,190 --> 00:32:23,070
Well, hurry, I've got some to do.

501
00:32:29,390 --> 00:32:32,910
You don't need the overlock for that.

502
00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:35,070
Is there another machine free?

503
00:32:35,310 --> 00:32:36,350
Of course!

504
00:32:37,150 --> 00:32:38,350
I haven't finished here.

505
00:32:38,510 --> 00:32:41,310
Fine, but I'll need it in a moment.

506
00:32:42,350 --> 00:32:43,710
I'm exhausted.

507
00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:48,270
Today was really hard.

508
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:49,790
But the other girls?

509
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:52,830
Mei, Chun, Li Hong,
they're fast!

510
00:32:53,070 --> 00:32:56,110
Faster than us, for sure.

511
00:32:56,430 --> 00:32:59,470
San even gave me
thread when ran out,

512
00:32:59,710 --> 00:33:01,870
and two pieces of printed fabric.

513
00:33:02,030 --> 00:33:04,110
Did they have to redo any?

514
00:33:04,270 --> 00:33:05,470
Yes, today they did.

515
00:33:05,710 --> 00:33:07,390
Quite a few!

516
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:09,150
Oh, I didn't realize.

517
00:33:09,950 --> 00:33:11,790
What are you going to do?

518
00:33:12,110 --> 00:33:12,750
I envy you.

519
00:33:12,990 --> 00:33:14,510
For having so many to redo?

520
00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:17,070
I'm exhausted!

521
00:33:17,230 --> 00:33:19,070
Still four pairs of pants to finish.

522
00:33:19,390 --> 00:33:20,670
But I'm nearly done.

523
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:23,310
Really fed up with it.

524
00:33:23,790 --> 00:33:25,070
I'm sleepy.

525
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:28,030
She should go so we can sleep.

526
00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:28,990
I can't tell her.

527
00:33:29,390 --> 00:33:30,590
Is she following you?

528
00:33:30,750 --> 00:33:31,950
Trying to.

529
00:33:33,150 --> 00:33:35,550
I'll tell them I want to go home.

530
00:33:36,190 --> 00:33:40,270
I'll finish the reworking, then go.

531
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:44,270
I have some washing to do.

532
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:49,950
What a drag!

533
00:33:53,150 --> 00:33:54,750
I'm just too slow.

534
00:33:58,510 --> 00:34:01,630
I've got some here too.

535
00:34:02,750 --> 00:34:04,990
- Washing?
- Don't worry, I'll do it.

536
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:06,270
What is it?

537
00:34:06,430 --> 00:34:08,190
Dirty socks.

538
00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:11,070
They dry quickly here.

539
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,550
What are you doing?

540
00:34:18,110 --> 00:34:19,390
Was that my bottle?

541
00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:23,470
- Yeah, so?
- Good thing it's not glass.

542
00:34:23,710 --> 00:34:26,350
You should be more careful.

543
00:34:26,510 --> 00:34:27,470
Don't hang it there,

544
00:34:27,710 --> 00:34:28,830
it'll fall.

545
00:34:28,990 --> 00:34:31,470
- Where, then?
- If you break my bottle,

546
00:34:31,710 --> 00:34:33,550
I'll make you pay for two.

547
00:34:33,790 --> 00:34:35,390
Typical.

548
00:34:35,630 --> 00:34:37,710
You don't think, do you?

549
00:34:37,870 --> 00:34:39,950
Did you see where it was?

550
00:34:40,190 --> 00:34:42,110
You knocked it over, not me.

551
00:34:42,350 --> 00:34:44,910
Can't let you near anything.

552
00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:47,790
- Rubbish.
- Don't hang it there.

553
00:34:48,190 --> 00:34:49,390
It'll fall again.

554
00:34:50,590 --> 00:34:52,030
Don't talk nonsense.

555
00:34:52,270 --> 00:34:53,710
Mind the table.

556
00:34:54,270 --> 00:34:56,190
You'll knock over my toothpaste.

557
00:34:56,350 --> 00:34:57,790
Don't you need your scissors?

558
00:34:58,030 --> 00:35:00,510
I cut myself again. Look.

559
00:35:00,670 --> 00:35:02,990
No thanks, I know.

560
00:35:05,390 --> 00:35:07,550
I have to alter my pants.

561
00:35:07,870 --> 00:35:09,070
Me too.

562
00:35:09,710 --> 00:35:11,710
I'll do it after the washing

563
00:35:11,950 --> 00:35:14,190
I'm doing my washing later.

564
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:17,070
Those pants?

565
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:18,910
But you're wearing them.

566
00:35:20,190 --> 00:35:22,270
I can change.

567
00:35:22,590 --> 00:35:24,350
My machine is hard to use.

568
00:35:24,590 --> 00:35:26,430
The presser foot's too low.

569
00:35:53,070 --> 00:35:54,110
What are you eating?

570
00:35:54,350 --> 00:35:55,550
Smells delicious!

571
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:58,190
You're back!

572
00:35:58,430 --> 00:36:00,190
We missed you.

573
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:02,990
There she is.

574
00:36:03,390 --> 00:36:04,990
What's up?

575
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,185
{\an8}LIN ZHUXIN,
16, from Shipai, Anhui Province
Cousin of Lin Shao

576
00:36:07,870 --> 00:36:10,110
Now we can have some laughs.

577
00:36:58,990 --> 00:37:00,270
When are you off home?

578
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:01,470
Couple of days.

579
00:37:02,270 --> 00:37:03,950
To see the old folk.

580
00:37:04,110 --> 00:37:05,630
A quick round-trip?

581
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:06,990
Is this done?

582
00:37:07,310 --> 00:37:09,070
Old folk are a treasure.

583
00:37:11,070 --> 00:37:13,550
We have two at home.

584
00:37:14,750 --> 00:37:16,190
That's good.

585
00:37:16,430 --> 00:37:18,510
We should treat them well.

586
00:37:18,830 --> 00:37:20,910
When you're old, you'll understand.

587
00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:23,790
We should visit them often,

588
00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:26,990
not just at the holidays,

589
00:37:27,150 --> 00:37:28,430
talk to them.

590
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:30,030
They're alone at home.

591
00:37:32,910 --> 00:37:34,030
I'm doing the bands.

592
00:37:34,270 --> 00:37:35,630
Nearly finished?

593
00:37:36,110 --> 00:37:37,630
I need that space.

594
00:38:23,470 --> 00:38:25,150
When are you going?

595
00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:28,510
When are you off home?

596
00:38:31,550 --> 00:38:34,990
Last thing want to do
tonight is overtime.

597
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:37,310
There's not much left down there.

598
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:39,950
Are you doing this tonight?

599
00:38:45,790 --> 00:38:47,070
These are really long.

600
00:38:49,230 --> 00:38:51,550
Oh no, not again.

601
00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:09,150
Come on, upstairs.

602
00:39:09,710 --> 00:39:12,030
Watch your step, chief.

603
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:14,110
Fu Yun, talk to me!

604
00:39:14,270 --> 00:39:15,550
You don't understand me!

605
00:39:15,790 --> 00:39:17,710
What do you mean?

606
00:39:17,950 --> 00:39:19,950
Why don't you talk to me?

607
00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:22,590
- Let's talk to him.
- What for?

608
00:39:22,750 --> 00:39:24,430
When they tell me to redo them,

609
00:39:24,590 --> 00:39:26,030
I don't waste time arguing.

610
00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:28,830
You still have to do them.

611
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:32,190
- He asked me to go down.
- Don't go.

612
00:39:32,430 --> 00:39:35,870
- It won't change anything.
- I have to take these pants down.

613
00:39:36,190 --> 00:39:38,110
What's the point?

614
00:39:38,350 --> 00:39:40,110
I have to rework four pieces.

615
00:39:40,350 --> 00:39:43,070
They're all talking about me.

616
00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:45,790
Not just up here, down there too.

617
00:39:46,670 --> 00:39:49,390
Let them talk, what do you care?

618
00:39:49,630 --> 00:39:52,030
That's all they can do anyway.

619
00:39:52,590 --> 00:39:53,870
Forget about them.

620
00:39:54,110 --> 00:39:56,350
- They pay us so little...
- True enough.

621
00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:58,670
But don't make any more mistakes.

622
00:39:58,830 --> 00:40:02,430
Why do I always
have to redo them?

623
00:40:03,870 --> 00:40:04,750
Forget about it.

624
00:40:11,790 --> 00:40:13,150
There's an odd seam here.

625
00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:14,990
Did you do this one?

626
00:40:15,150 --> 00:40:16,670
You have to start again.

627
00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:19,390
- Is this one wrong too?
- Yes.

628
00:40:19,630 --> 00:40:20,830
And this one.

629
00:40:38,750 --> 00:40:40,830
What model is Ping An working on?

630
00:40:41,790 --> 00:40:42,430
This one?

631
00:40:42,590 --> 00:40:43,790
Yes, that one.

632
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:46,110
Have you pulled them all out?

633
00:40:46,350 --> 00:40:48,590
If not, do the serging first.

634
00:40:51,630 --> 00:40:52,990
Shall we put the cotton in?

635
00:40:54,990 --> 00:40:55,950
They've started.

636
00:40:56,190 --> 00:40:57,870
Ok, keep going.

637
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:00,350
Make them nice and thick.

638
00:41:00,910 --> 00:41:02,030
Like that one.

639
00:41:02,190 --> 00:41:03,470
I've stuffed it full.

640
00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:05,310
That's right, pack it all in.

641
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:06,350
There's too much,

642
00:41:06,510 --> 00:41:07,550
put it all in!

643
00:41:29,950 --> 00:41:32,590
Is Guomin helping with
some of your pieces?

644
00:41:32,830 --> 00:41:34,830
You can just redo them.

645
00:41:34,990 --> 00:41:36,270
Come on, don't quit.

646
00:41:36,750 --> 00:41:38,430
Just take a bit less work.

647
00:41:38,670 --> 00:41:40,030
Say something.

648
00:41:40,270 --> 00:41:42,350
I'm no good at reworking

649
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:44,670
Then keep quiet, they won't check.

650
00:41:44,830 --> 00:41:46,510
- I can't do it.
- Tell me honestly,

651
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:50,270
how many batches have you messed up?

652
00:41:50,510 --> 00:41:50,910
What?

653
00:41:51,230 --> 00:41:51,790
Two.

654
00:41:52,030 --> 00:41:53,070
Just put them aside,

655
00:41:53,310 --> 00:41:55,310
talk to the boss's wife.

656
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:58,430
But finish the ones
you still have to do.

657
00:41:58,750 --> 00:41:59,950
What shall I tell her?

658
00:42:00,190 --> 00:42:01,950
They know there's a problem.

659
00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:04,430
messed up that crotch piece,

660
00:42:04,590 --> 00:42:07,230
I even tore it in places...

661
00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:11,630
Listen to me,

662
00:42:11,870 --> 00:42:13,150
forget those two batches.

663
00:42:13,390 --> 00:42:15,230
Work on the next ones first.

664
00:42:15,390 --> 00:42:16,990
If there are a few duds,

665
00:42:17,230 --> 00:42:18,830
slip them into another batch.

666
00:42:18,990 --> 00:42:20,750
If you wait too long,

667
00:42:20,990 --> 00:42:22,270
there'll be no fabric.

668
00:42:22,430 --> 00:42:24,510
I won't manage.

669
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:27,070
You did the other models,

670
00:42:27,310 --> 00:42:30,350
the assembly, the hems...

671
00:42:30,590 --> 00:42:31,950
So what's the problem?

672
00:42:32,110 --> 00:42:34,190
Just talk to the boss's wife.

673
00:42:35,950 --> 00:42:38,430
I sympathize, you know.

674
00:42:38,830 --> 00:42:40,190
But what can I do?

675
00:42:40,350 --> 00:42:42,270
We're all tired,

676
00:42:42,430 --> 00:42:44,350
we all have our problems.

677
00:42:45,630 --> 00:42:49,070
But I've already stitched the lining...

678
00:42:49,230 --> 00:42:51,470
Forget it, just do a flat seam!

679
00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:53,790
- I can't see the pattern.
- What?

680
00:42:53,950 --> 00:42:56,430
Well, you have to.

681
00:42:56,590 --> 00:42:58,590
You have to do the lining first,

682
00:42:58,830 --> 00:43:01,310
then a flat seam, and that's it.

683
00:43:02,990 --> 00:43:04,670
I really want to quit.

684
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:05,710
Come on...

685
00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:07,390
A flat seam?

686
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:09,310
It's your fault, you know.

687
00:43:09,470 --> 00:43:12,030
You were fine doing the patches.

688
00:43:12,190 --> 00:43:13,790
You have to follow the pattern.

689
00:43:13,950 --> 00:43:16,110
- Well, I didn't.
- Why not?

690
00:43:16,270 --> 00:43:17,790
You have to, everybody does!

691
00:43:18,030 --> 00:43:20,110
You can't just make it up.

692
00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:23,470
You've only yourself to blame.

693
00:43:23,710 --> 00:43:25,310
Face it,

694
00:43:25,550 --> 00:43:26,990
you did this to yourself.

695
00:43:27,390 --> 00:43:28,750
ignoring the rules.

696
00:43:28,990 --> 00:43:31,630
How do you think
the others get it right?

697
00:43:31,870 --> 00:43:33,230
In this kind of work,

698
00:43:33,470 --> 00:43:35,230
you have to be more careful.

699
00:43:35,790 --> 00:43:39,550
You could have learned your lesson.

700
00:43:41,550 --> 00:43:44,430
One missing button tab, okay.

701
00:43:44,590 --> 00:43:46,910
But you forgot two!

702
00:43:47,150 --> 00:43:47,870
And that no. 8

703
00:43:48,030 --> 00:43:51,150
one glance, anyone could see
you'd messed up.

704
00:43:56,350 --> 00:43:57,550
Hello? Uncle?

705
00:43:58,590 --> 00:44:01,390
I'm here,
I have some cotton for you.

706
00:44:01,550 --> 00:44:03,230
I'm down here.

707
00:44:06,430 --> 00:44:08,110
Come by here first.

708
00:44:32,910 --> 00:44:35,070
Uncle! Over here!

709
00:44:43,150 --> 00:44:43,710
Hi Uncle.

710
00:44:46,270 --> 00:44:47,630
What's the matter?

711
00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:52,270
After these batches, I'm leaving

712
00:44:54,430 --> 00:44:56,510
This shop's not so bad.

713
00:44:56,750 --> 00:44:57,870
I don't want to stay here.

714
00:44:58,190 --> 00:44:59,550
Why not?

715
00:44:59,950 --> 00:45:01,310
You know a better one?

716
00:45:01,550 --> 00:45:02,670
Let me park this.

717
00:45:15,470 --> 00:45:17,630
- What's all that?
- Don't worry.

718
00:45:25,790 --> 00:45:27,790
No, I don't want this!

719
00:45:28,670 --> 00:45:31,790
- Idiot.
- I bought it for you!

720
00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:43,150
- Stop that!
- I don't want it.

721
00:45:44,270 --> 00:45:45,230
Take it!

722
00:45:45,390 --> 00:45:46,750
Keep your stuff.

723
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:49,390
What is it with you?

724
00:45:49,950 --> 00:45:52,430
Ok, but I have to get back soon.

725
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:54,590
Are you deaf, or what?

726
00:45:54,910 --> 00:45:56,910
I said, I don't want it!

727
00:45:57,070 --> 00:45:58,350
Go on, go!

728
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:02,190
- I don't need it!
- But I bought it!

729
00:46:03,550 --> 00:46:04,990
You keep it.

730
00:46:05,310 --> 00:46:08,190
- We need to talk.
- I'm due home for dinner.

731
00:46:08,430 --> 00:46:09,950
I'll come with you, then.

732
00:46:10,190 --> 00:46:12,430
What is it? Just tell me now!

733
00:46:15,150 --> 00:46:16,350
I'll come with you.

734
00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:18,430
I'm going back home.

735
00:46:20,110 --> 00:46:21,790
Shall I talk to him?

736
00:46:21,950 --> 00:46:23,150
Would you?

737
00:46:30,750 --> 00:46:33,630
Take the cotton.
- I don't need it.

738
00:46:34,270 --> 00:46:35,710
Leave it there.

739
00:46:36,030 --> 00:46:37,070
Get rid of it.

740
00:46:37,310 --> 00:46:38,190
I don't want it.

741
00:46:38,990 --> 00:46:40,030
Just dump it.

742
00:46:52,990 --> 00:46:53,950
But Uncle...

743
00:46:54,270 --> 00:46:57,070
- What?
- Take the milk, I bought it.

744
00:46:58,990 --> 00:47:00,910
None of us drink it.

745
00:48:08,190 --> 00:48:09,950
These are good scissors.

746
00:48:10,510 --> 00:48:13,070
- Which?
- These here.

747
00:48:18,830 --> 00:48:20,590
What are you working on?

748
00:48:22,510 --> 00:48:24,510
You can use the serger now.

749
00:48:25,710 --> 00:48:28,350
Take your time.

750
00:48:30,590 --> 00:48:33,230
I'll be done before you finish.

751
00:49:05,710 --> 00:49:07,070
I could use some help

752
00:49:07,310 --> 00:49:08,750
fetching these bundles!

753
00:49:11,230 --> 00:49:12,110
What?

754
00:49:14,430 --> 00:49:15,390
Come on, everyone.

755
00:49:15,710 --> 00:49:16,670
It's all here,

756
00:49:17,550 --> 00:49:18,750
just help yourselves.

757
00:49:41,230 --> 00:49:42,910
I haven't got room

758
00:49:43,070 --> 00:49:44,830
for all this, have I?

759
00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:48,110
<i>I'm heading back from the noodle bar</i>

760
00:49:48,350 --> 00:49:51,150
<i>Saw a dude and his chick
inside their car</i>

761
00:49:51,310 --> 00:49:55,310
<i>Figure some joker
had locked them in there</i>

762
00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:56,830
<i>Looked pretty hot in there</i>

763
00:49:57,070 --> 00:49:59,390
<i>The lady was panting,
she needed some air</i>

764
00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:03,390
<i>Found a rock on the grass,
broke the window glass</i>

765
00:50:03,790 --> 00:50:07,630
<i>My good deed for the day,</i>

766
00:50:07,870 --> 00:50:11,630
<i>I tiptoed away...</i>

767
00:50:58,510 --> 00:50:59,950
Quick, let me through.

768
00:51:22,510 --> 00:51:24,510
Looks like a midnight snack!

769
00:51:26,990 --> 00:51:28,350
Who's that with them?

770
00:51:30,350 --> 00:51:31,710
These people here.

771
00:51:32,350 --> 00:51:33,230
That's not her.

772
00:51:34,030 --> 00:51:35,630
She's not in the photo.

773
00:51:36,350 --> 00:51:37,950
The boss is checking on us?

774
00:51:38,190 --> 00:51:39,550
Stresses me out.

775
00:51:41,150 --> 00:51:42,910
He's pissed off with us.

776
00:51:49,630 --> 00:51:50,590
So?

777
00:51:50,830 --> 00:51:52,670
She's on her way.

778
00:51:52,910 --> 00:51:53,630
She's coming.

779
00:51:54,030 --> 00:51:55,470
- Oh yeah?
- Yup.

780
00:51:55,630 --> 00:51:58,270
When we were together...

781
00:51:58,510 --> 00:52:00,350
They just texted non-stop!

782
00:52:04,910 --> 00:52:07,310
She won't discuss it with me.

783
00:52:08,270 --> 00:52:09,710
Oh, really?

784
00:52:09,870 --> 00:52:10,910
The same girl?

785
00:52:11,390 --> 00:52:12,510
Yeah, her.

786
00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:16,110
We really had a thing.

787
00:52:16,350 --> 00:52:17,710
She said, "not your concern."

788
00:52:17,950 --> 00:52:19,150
Maybe she's right.

789
00:52:19,710 --> 00:52:21,470
Don't they always say that?

790
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,786
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 198 YIMIN ROAD, ZHILI

791
00:52:21,630 --> 00:52:23,390
"Not your concern.

792
00:52:24,270 --> 00:52:26,030
Over and over.

793
00:52:26,270 --> 00:52:27,950
- Sure, but.
- "Not your concern!"

794
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,529
{\an8}XU WANXIANG,
21, from Anqing, Anhui PRovince

795
00:52:28,190 --> 00:52:29,870
- Well, I...
- "Not your concern!"

796
00:52:30,430 --> 00:52:32,030
None of your business!

797
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:34,688
{\an8}JIA DELIN,
18, from Anqing, Anhui Province
Cousin of Xu Wanxiang

798
00:52:32,270 --> 00:52:33,870
That's what she just texted.

799
00:52:34,270 --> 00:52:35,950
Should I answer?

800
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,820
{\an8}LIU JINLIN,
from Anqing, Anhui Province

801
00:52:38,670 --> 00:52:40,270
She can wait a bit.

802
00:52:40,430 --> 00:52:42,430
Ask her if she's a parrot.

803
00:52:42,670 --> 00:52:43,790
"Not your concern!"

804
00:52:43,950 --> 00:52:45,390
If you're making money,

805
00:52:45,630 --> 00:52:48,110
and you get a girl, you're broke again.

806
00:52:51,390 --> 00:52:53,070
Where are we eating tonight?

807
00:52:53,390 --> 00:52:55,310
- Eh?
- What shall we have?

808
00:53:01,230 --> 00:53:02,430
Noodles!

809
00:53:04,110 --> 00:53:06,030
- Good noodles.
- Really?

810
00:53:06,830 --> 00:53:08,430
You, me and him.

811
00:53:08,670 --> 00:53:12,510
We can look in at Maozi's shop,
see if they're hiring

812
00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:14,670
Sure, why not.

813
00:53:15,070 --> 00:53:16,670
You're friends with her, right?

814
00:53:16,910 --> 00:53:17,710
What happened?

815
00:53:17,950 --> 00:53:19,870
You'll never thread it.

816
00:53:20,110 --> 00:53:22,110
Looks a bit tricky.

817
00:53:24,830 --> 00:53:26,830
You might need tweezers.

818
00:53:28,590 --> 00:53:30,990
That machine's fucked.

819
00:53:31,230 --> 00:53:33,150
So why go to her shop?

820
00:53:33,470 --> 00:53:34,670
Let's finish these first.

821
00:53:37,230 --> 00:53:39,310
We don't start the new model?

822
00:53:39,550 --> 00:53:40,030
No.

823
00:53:40,270 --> 00:53:41,470
I'm just doing a sample.

824
00:53:41,630 --> 00:53:42,670
Finish this batch.

825
00:53:42,830 --> 00:53:44,350
This one we've started?

826
00:53:44,510 --> 00:53:46,110
Or the boss'll get mad.

827
00:53:46,510 --> 00:53:48,430
We have to finish this one.

828
00:53:50,590 --> 00:53:52,430
What about the other one?

829
00:53:52,590 --> 00:53:53,550
We don't start it.

830
00:53:56,350 --> 00:53:58,350
You want one of me nude?

831
00:54:03,870 --> 00:54:05,550
Is that a new belt?

832
00:54:05,790 --> 00:54:07,870
- I feel dirty.
- That's just your jeans.

833
00:54:08,110 --> 00:54:09,790
got into a fight.

834
00:54:09,950 --> 00:54:10,750
For Wang Wei.

835
00:54:10,990 --> 00:54:11,550
Who with?

836
00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:13,790
Asshole didn't even thank us.

837
00:54:14,030 --> 00:54:14,750
Where was that?

838
00:54:14,910 --> 00:54:16,030
That time,

839
00:54:16,830 --> 00:54:18,190
it was at the big pharmacy

840
00:54:18,430 --> 00:54:20,670
- So?
- We sorted them out.

841
00:54:20,990 --> 00:54:22,270
Not even a thank you.

842
00:54:22,910 --> 00:54:24,030
I kid you not.

843
00:54:24,510 --> 00:54:26,110
It didn't take us long

844
00:54:28,030 --> 00:54:28,910
He call you?

845
00:54:29,150 --> 00:54:31,950
We should go over there,
the three of us.

846
00:54:32,910 --> 00:54:35,550
Nah, it's his shit,
let him deal with it.

847
00:54:36,350 --> 00:54:37,790
Who does he think he is?

848
00:54:39,470 --> 00:54:40,030
You ask me...

849
00:54:40,350 --> 00:54:42,270
- Got a sponge?
- Are you washing?

850
00:54:42,430 --> 00:54:43,390
Just my face.

851
00:54:43,630 --> 00:54:44,510
Come on, let's go!

852
00:55:37,870 --> 00:55:38,750
Let's go.

853
00:55:46,270 --> 00:55:47,150
Minghan!

854
00:55:48,990 --> 00:55:50,270
- Minghan!
- What?

855
00:55:50,510 --> 00:55:51,230
Second floor.

856
00:55:51,790 --> 00:55:53,950
- Where's the door?
- Can't get in.

857
00:55:54,110 --> 00:55:56,190
In the police station, fuck,

858
00:55:56,350 --> 00:55:58,510
they cuffed me to the plumbing.

859
00:55:58,670 --> 00:56:00,190
Didn't even give us water.

860
00:56:00,430 --> 00:56:02,350
A whole day, just one cup.

861
00:56:02,510 --> 00:56:05,630
A big fucking tin bowl,

862
00:56:05,870 --> 00:56:07,310
with a cupful of water in it.

863
00:56:07,550 --> 00:56:10,030
And not a fucking bite to eat.

864
00:56:11,710 --> 00:56:14,190
So when did you
fight with the boss?

865
00:56:14,430 --> 00:56:15,310
After lunch.

866
00:56:15,870 --> 00:56:17,950
Cunt told me to haul ass.

867
00:56:21,630 --> 00:56:24,430
I said, not before I sort you out.

868
00:56:24,670 --> 00:56:26,030
So that piece of shit,

869
00:56:28,190 --> 00:56:30,270
he just stands there,

870
00:56:30,510 --> 00:56:32,030
tries to show me the door.

871
00:56:34,910 --> 00:56:36,910
Spent the afternoon
in the lock-up.

872
00:56:37,150 --> 00:56:38,590
He was pretty pissed off.

873
00:56:42,030 --> 00:56:42,910
They lock you up?

874
00:56:43,070 --> 00:56:44,670
We had a punch-up!

875
00:56:44,910 --> 00:56:46,270
So they took both of you?

876
00:56:46,430 --> 00:56:48,910
Cops said we should cool off inside

877
00:56:49,070 --> 00:56:50,430
for a few days.

878
00:56:50,670 --> 00:56:51,630
Both of you?

879
00:56:51,870 --> 00:56:53,150
Just like that?

880
00:56:53,310 --> 00:56:54,350
That's right.

881
00:56:54,910 --> 00:56:57,470
went to the cops to see
what they'd say,

882
00:56:58,110 --> 00:56:59,070
you know?

883
00:57:02,350 --> 00:57:05,070
Did they tell the boss to pay you?

884
00:57:05,470 --> 00:57:06,510
What did he say?

885
00:57:06,750 --> 00:57:08,590
- What?
- In his statement.

886
00:57:09,630 --> 00:57:10,590
Don't ask me.

887
00:57:11,230 --> 00:57:14,030
- You did good.
- Go again if you have to.

888
00:57:14,910 --> 00:57:15,710
It's all good.

889
00:57:17,230 --> 00:57:18,830
We both signed our names.

890
00:57:19,150 --> 00:57:20,430
Party A, Party B...

891
00:57:20,590 --> 00:57:22,110
All down in writing.

892
00:57:22,430 --> 00:57:24,030
Go on, show him.

893
00:57:27,070 --> 00:57:28,350
Okay, so?

894
00:57:30,670 --> 00:57:31,470
Now what?

895
00:57:33,150 --> 00:57:35,870
We gonna sit here all night?

896
00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:37,790
What do you mean?

897
00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:40,270
- Let's go!
- And get our money?

898
00:57:40,830 --> 00:57:43,950
- To the Internet cafe?
- Nah,

899
00:57:44,430 --> 00:57:45,790
let's just go out.

900
00:57:55,630 --> 00:57:57,230
This way's quicker.

901
00:58:06,990 --> 00:58:08,190
Watch your step here,

902
00:58:08,350 --> 00:58:10,030
in these back alleys,

903
00:58:13,230 --> 00:58:14,430
you can't see a thing.

904
00:58:14,830 --> 00:58:16,590
Use your ears instead!

905
00:58:30,910 --> 00:58:32,110
Interesting place.

906
00:58:39,470 --> 00:58:41,150
Just take it slow.

907
00:58:42,110 --> 00:58:43,870
Sure, what's the rush?

908
00:58:44,030 --> 00:58:45,470
Careful, it's wet.

909
00:58:45,710 --> 00:58:47,310
What's he doing,

910
00:58:48,510 --> 00:58:50,270
walking over there?

911
00:58:50,750 --> 00:58:52,430
Stay on this side, tell him.

912
00:58:55,310 --> 00:58:57,070
Or walk ahead of us.

913
00:58:57,870 --> 00:58:59,790
It's ok, we can see now.

914
00:59:01,310 --> 00:59:03,150
It won't rain again.

915
00:59:04,990 --> 00:59:06,830
Let's go upstairs for a bit.

916
00:59:08,830 --> 00:59:10,830
Stay close, it's just up here.

917
00:59:15,390 --> 00:59:17,230
Has to be somewhere.

918
00:59:19,390 --> 00:59:20,350
Keep looking.

919
00:59:22,110 --> 00:59:24,670
I'm sure put it here
this morning.

920
00:59:26,110 --> 00:59:28,190
- Just think!
- It was right here.

921
00:59:40,030 --> 00:59:41,870
Is the boss here?

922
00:59:42,030 --> 00:59:42,990
No.

923
00:59:43,310 --> 00:59:44,750
He's not here?

924
00:59:45,230 --> 00:59:47,950
- The key?
- I'll take it Did you find it?

925
00:59:48,190 --> 00:59:49,790
I'll give it to him later.

926
00:59:50,030 --> 00:59:51,390
You can give it to me.

927
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,021
{\an8}Workshop manager

928
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:54,190
He says you can give me 1000¥.

929
00:59:54,430 --> 00:59:57,390
I'll check, show me your paybook.

930
00:59:57,790 --> 01:00:00,350
I need to see it first.

931
01:00:01,470 --> 01:00:03,230
Sure I've got my paybook.

932
01:00:04,190 --> 01:00:04,750
I have it.

933
01:00:04,910 --> 01:00:05,870
Show me, then.

934
01:00:06,110 --> 01:00:08,510
I can't pay you without seeing it.

935
01:00:08,750 --> 01:00:10,670
- I have it!
- That's how it is.

936
01:00:10,910 --> 01:00:13,150
- I said, I've got it!
- It's common sense.

937
01:00:13,390 --> 01:00:15,390
I can't find it for you!

938
01:00:19,070 --> 01:00:19,630
Look,

939
01:00:19,790 --> 01:00:22,750
you just listen to me.

940
01:00:22,990 --> 01:00:24,190
You two better behave.

941
01:00:24,350 --> 01:00:25,950
The boss is fair with you.

942
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,386
{\an8}Workshop manager's mother

943
01:00:26,830 --> 01:00:28,670
Whenever you want to go home,

944
01:00:28,910 --> 01:00:30,350
he pays you, no problem.

945
01:00:30,590 --> 01:00:31,470
But you don't work!

946
01:00:31,630 --> 01:00:33,790
What's he paying you for?

947
01:00:33,950 --> 01:00:35,630
His patience has limits.

948
01:00:39,070 --> 01:00:41,870
We don't pay you to have fun.

949
01:00:45,230 --> 01:00:47,470
Show me your paybook.

950
01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:50,270
I haven't got it on me.

951
01:00:50,510 --> 01:00:52,990
And you want me
to give you 1000¥?

952
01:00:53,230 --> 01:00:56,430
How do I know
if you've earned it?

953
01:00:56,670 --> 01:00:58,750
Of course I have!

954
01:00:59,230 --> 01:01:01,150
If you've earned it, you'll get it.

955
01:01:01,390 --> 01:01:03,710
So I have to go
back and get it?

956
01:01:03,950 --> 01:01:07,150
You expect me to pay
without seeing your paybook?

957
01:01:07,630 --> 01:01:09,790
What do you think?

958
01:01:10,350 --> 01:01:12,590
I left it in my bag.

959
01:01:12,830 --> 01:01:14,830
No paybook, no cash.

960
01:01:15,070 --> 01:01:17,070
What do you expect?

961
01:01:17,310 --> 01:01:19,790
It's just plain common sense!

962
01:01:31,310 --> 01:01:33,790
Whatever, just say an amount.

963
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:37,150
At the minimum rate.

964
01:01:38,350 --> 01:01:39,070
I'll take it.

965
01:01:39,310 --> 01:01:40,510
What minimum?

966
01:01:41,790 --> 01:01:42,910
- Say 2000¥.
- What?

967
01:01:43,150 --> 01:01:44,670
2000 or 3000, whatever.

968
01:01:47,230 --> 01:01:48,030
How much?

969
01:01:48,270 --> 01:01:50,510
4000¥ total.

970
01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:53,390
Just take the lowest rate,
3 a piece.

971
01:01:55,310 --> 01:01:58,030
How do you figure
4000 at 3¥ a piece ?

972
01:02:03,310 --> 01:02:06,430
Take an average of
12 pieces per batch,

973
01:02:06,670 --> 01:02:11,230
then multiply by 3.8¥.

974
01:02:16,510 --> 01:02:17,470
Right?

975
01:02:17,710 --> 01:02:19,230
If you take the lowest rate.

976
01:02:20,350 --> 01:02:22,190
I know how many batches I did.

977
01:02:28,990 --> 01:02:32,190
You can work it out,
take your time.

978
01:02:35,310 --> 01:02:36,750
And your paybook?

979
01:02:37,070 --> 01:02:39,870
It's safe in my locker.

980
01:02:40,190 --> 01:02:42,990
It's-a long way to go and fetch it.

981
01:02:45,710 --> 01:02:48,510
You've got a photo there
with my name on it.

982
01:03:18,830 --> 01:03:20,430
I need new chopsticks.

983
01:03:21,390 --> 01:03:22,510
Dropped mine.

984
01:04:53,310 --> 01:04:53,790
Who?

985
01:04:53,950 --> 01:04:55,390
How many pieces?

986
01:04:58,590 --> 01:05:00,110
- Your paybook?
- Eh?

987
01:05:00,350 --> 01:05:01,310
My paybook?

988
01:05:01,550 --> 01:05:04,590
To check how many pieces you've done!

989
01:05:04,750 --> 01:05:05,790
Not your phone.

990
01:05:06,030 --> 01:05:09,470
- You're saying I have no paybook?
- Not at all.

991
01:05:09,630 --> 01:05:11,310
We never said that.

992
01:05:11,550 --> 01:05:13,870
Everyone who works here
has a paybook.

993
01:05:14,110 --> 01:05:16,270
But you only make one copy, right?

994
01:05:16,510 --> 01:05:18,830
What if we lose it?

995
01:05:19,150 --> 01:05:21,710
You have to make sure you don't.

996
01:05:22,350 --> 01:05:24,430
It's the same for everyone.

997
01:05:24,750 --> 01:05:26,430
We don't want to hear it.

998
01:05:26,670 --> 01:05:28,590
It's the same in my shop,
one copy.

999
01:05:28,830 --> 01:05:30,830
I've had this shop nearly ten years!

1000
01:05:30,990 --> 01:05:32,830
I've got your money here, look!

1001
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:35,535
{\an8}Workshop manager

1002
01:05:33,070 --> 01:05:34,750
I didn't at the police station.

1003
01:05:34,990 --> 01:05:36,270
I'm not trying to cheat you!

1004
01:05:36,430 --> 01:05:38,030
But I need your paybook.

1005
01:05:38,990 --> 01:05:41,710
I took out your cash before lunch,

1006
01:05:41,870 --> 01:05:44,350
but I can't just pay it out.

1007
01:06:03,470 --> 01:06:05,550
Go and have another look.

1008
01:06:05,710 --> 01:06:07,550
Make sure you look everywhere,

1009
01:06:07,790 --> 01:06:09,790
you might have dropped it.

1010
01:06:10,110 --> 01:06:11,390
Go on.

1011
01:06:12,030 --> 01:06:14,350
You'll need the key to get in!

1012
01:07:23,470 --> 01:07:25,630
I couldn't find it, so what now?

1013
01:07:25,790 --> 01:07:28,430
How are we supposed to sign off?

1014
01:07:28,750 --> 01:07:31,230
No way I can do it
without your numbers

1015
01:07:32,110 --> 01:07:33,950
But I have them!

1016
01:07:34,190 --> 01:07:35,790
What you showed me isn't valid.

1017
01:07:36,030 --> 01:07:37,470
I need the original

1018
01:07:40,510 --> 01:07:42,110
This is original!

1019
01:07:43,630 --> 01:07:45,870
I've got your signature!

1020
01:07:46,270 --> 01:07:48,590
Or do you deny that?

1021
01:07:48,990 --> 01:07:51,630
Give me a break!

1022
01:07:54,190 --> 01:07:56,350
I sign hundreds of paybooks,

1023
01:07:56,510 --> 01:07:58,350
how do I know that one's yours?

1024
01:07:58,910 --> 01:08:02,030
You can compare it to the others.

1025
01:08:02,430 --> 01:08:04,590
Oh yeah? How long will that take?

1026
01:08:05,870 --> 01:08:07,390
Haven't I been clear?

1027
01:08:07,550 --> 01:08:09,070
No paybook, no money.

1028
01:08:10,030 --> 01:08:10,670
Not a cent.

1029
01:08:10,910 --> 01:08:13,710
Show me the book,
you get your cash.

1030
01:08:19,390 --> 01:08:21,950
The money's right here.

1031
01:08:26,910 --> 01:08:29,710
As I told the police,

1032
01:08:29,870 --> 01:08:31,710
why should I cheat you?

1033
01:08:31,950 --> 01:08:33,310
You'll get your money

1034
01:08:33,470 --> 01:08:35,470
when I've seen your numbers.

1035
01:08:39,070 --> 01:08:41,390
So basically, I've worked for nothing.

1036
01:08:42,190 --> 01:08:43,790
Oh, so it's my fault?

1037
01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:47,470
- You lost it, not me.
- I've got a photo.

1038
01:08:47,790 --> 01:08:49,550
- So what's the difference?
- That?

1039
01:08:51,230 --> 01:08:53,470
What good is that?

1040
01:08:53,870 --> 01:08:57,150
You need a proper paybook.

1041
01:08:57,390 --> 01:09:00,430
A photo doesn't count.

1042
01:09:09,390 --> 01:09:12,430
And my handwritten copy?

1043
01:09:12,670 --> 01:09:14,990
- Your what?
- I copied it all out.

1044
01:09:15,230 --> 01:09:18,750
The only valid document
is our paybook.

1045
01:09:18,910 --> 01:09:21,390
That copy has your signature on it.

1046
01:09:21,630 --> 01:09:23,870
And my name. What more do you need?

1047
01:09:24,830 --> 01:09:26,190
What copy?

1048
01:09:27,870 --> 01:09:29,070
What did I sign?

1049
01:09:29,230 --> 01:09:31,790
Did I sign a copy you made?

1050
01:09:32,030 --> 01:09:34,430
No, I mean, I've got your signature.

1051
01:09:34,670 --> 01:09:36,510
- On what?
- In my phone.

1052
01:09:36,750 --> 01:09:38,750
How does that count?

1053
01:09:39,070 --> 01:09:40,670
I made a copy.

1054
01:09:40,910 --> 01:09:42,910
And did I sign that copy?

1055
01:09:44,190 --> 01:09:44,910
What do you mean?

1056
01:09:49,230 --> 01:09:50,830
If you show me a copy I signed,

1057
01:09:51,070 --> 01:09:52,590
I'll pay you right away.

1058
01:09:57,310 --> 01:09:59,230
Go on, show me!

1059
01:10:06,030 --> 01:10:10,030
Ask the others if they ever
got paid without a paybook.

1060
01:10:29,950 --> 01:10:31,470
Think hard where it might be.

1061
01:10:31,630 --> 01:10:34,270
Boss, you don't want to pay me, fine.

1062
01:10:34,430 --> 01:10:35,870
I never said that.

1063
01:10:36,030 --> 01:10:38,270
withdrew the cash!

1064
01:10:38,430 --> 01:10:39,710
Before I even had lunch!

1065
01:10:40,190 --> 01:10:41,630
So don't give me that!

1066
01:10:42,430 --> 01:10:45,150
How can we settle without a paybook?

1067
01:10:50,750 --> 01:10:51,630
I'm off tomorrow.

1068
01:10:51,870 --> 01:10:53,790
I'll leave empty-handed, too bad.

1069
01:11:20,510 --> 01:11:22,270
So where the hell is it?

1070
01:11:42,670 --> 01:11:44,110
Where do I look?

1071
01:11:44,270 --> 01:11:46,590
No paybook, no pay, he says.

1072
01:11:56,670 --> 01:11:57,870
Next year,

1073
01:11:58,110 --> 01:12:00,830
don't think I can come to Zhili.

1074
01:12:01,550 --> 01:12:02,910
I'm pretty sure.

1075
01:12:03,070 --> 01:12:07,390
Fuck, my old man will say,
come back to Zhengzhou.

1076
01:12:09,150 --> 01:12:11,230
That place is a shithole, no way.

1077
01:12:22,590 --> 01:12:25,150
Who lives in Zhengzhou?

1078
01:12:25,470 --> 01:12:28,350
No friends, no-one I know.

1079
01:12:28,590 --> 01:12:31,310
No-one to hang out with.

1080
01:12:32,030 --> 01:12:35,630
If it was like in Zhili,

1081
01:12:36,190 --> 01:12:37,870
with work buddies and such,

1082
01:12:38,190 --> 01:12:39,470
maybe I could hack it.

1083
01:12:39,630 --> 01:12:42,190
But stuck in Zhengzhou,

1084
01:12:42,670 --> 01:12:43,790
all day, every day?

1085
01:12:44,030 --> 01:12:45,550
Deadly, man.

1086
01:12:58,750 --> 01:13:01,230
warned my cousin,

1087
01:13:01,470 --> 01:13:02,510
I said,

1088
01:13:02,670 --> 01:13:04,270
don't tell the family.

1089
01:13:08,350 --> 01:13:10,270
His girlfriend doesn't know

1090
01:13:10,910 --> 01:13:13,310
about all my debts,

1091
01:13:13,710 --> 01:13:16,030
she just knows I'm broke.

1092
01:13:17,870 --> 01:13:19,310
Doesn't know why.

1093
01:13:19,470 --> 01:13:22,270
She just knows I've quit.

1094
01:13:23,470 --> 01:13:25,550
So only my cousin knows.

1095
01:13:32,510 --> 01:13:35,950
He bought me some
sachimas here this morning

1096
01:13:41,710 --> 01:13:46,030
It's really tough, this life, you know?

1097
01:13:46,270 --> 01:13:46,910
I can't say.

1098
01:13:47,150 --> 01:13:48,510
But that's how it is.

1099
01:13:49,470 --> 01:13:50,110
Shit...

1100
01:13:52,910 --> 01:13:54,350
Anyway, now

1101
01:13:59,070 --> 01:14:01,950
I have to find work.
No choice.

1102
01:14:02,190 --> 01:14:04,750
Just to get fed and housed.

1103
01:14:34,990 --> 01:14:36,110
Hello?

1104
01:14:37,310 --> 01:14:40,670
I'm not sure I can
make it back tomorrow.

1105
01:14:40,990 --> 01:14:42,910
Yeah, a problem with work.

1106
01:14:45,310 --> 01:14:47,230
Should be, like, 6 or 7000¥.

1107
01:14:47,470 --> 01:14:49,790
So I'll be a day late.

1108
01:14:52,430 --> 01:14:53,630
Is that ok?

1109
01:14:57,470 --> 01:14:58,430
Hello?

1110
01:15:00,910 --> 01:15:03,950
Right, one more day.

1111
01:15:08,910 --> 01:15:09,870
Eh?

1112
01:15:12,190 --> 01:15:13,150
What?

1113
01:15:17,310 --> 01:15:20,590
I'll try to be home tomorrow, ok?

1114
01:15:20,830 --> 01:15:22,270
I'll do my best.

1115
01:15:24,030 --> 01:15:24,910
Alright?

1116
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:17,249
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 280 YIMIN ROAD, ZHILI

1117
01:16:20,110 --> 01:16:21,310
Be careful, Xinxin!

1118
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:27,296
{\an8}Mother of Xinxin,
from Guizhou Province

1119
01:16:37,550 --> 01:16:39,310
On this side, sweetie.

1120
01:16:41,550 --> 01:16:42,910
Be careful with that.

1121
01:16:43,310 --> 01:16:44,670
Off you go now.

1122
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,186
{\an8}XINXIN and her father,
from Guizhou Province

1123
01:16:52,030 --> 01:16:54,030
Sit still, there's a good girl.

1124
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,227
{\an8}A DIAO,
from Guizhou Province

1125
01:17:01,710 --> 01:17:02,430
Eh?

1126
01:17:02,590 --> 01:17:04,110
They beat him to a pulp!

1127
01:17:04,350 --> 01:17:06,190
Go and look for yourselves!

1128
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:07,950
Someone got beaten?

1129
01:17:08,270 --> 01:17:10,750
Three or four against one,
they held him down.

1130
01:17:11,550 --> 01:17:12,910
- Quick!
- Look, down there.

1131
01:17:13,150 --> 01:17:14,430
They held him down?

1132
01:17:15,310 --> 01:17:16,990
He's barely conscious!

1133
01:17:17,230 --> 01:17:18,510
They'd better stop.

1134
01:17:18,670 --> 01:17:20,590
The whole family
just laid into him!

1135
01:17:20,830 --> 01:17:23,150
- Who is he?
- Seems they owe him money.

1136
01:17:23,390 --> 01:17:24,910
Really scary.
I just ran!

1137
01:17:25,070 --> 01:17:27,150
We don't dare look.

1138
01:17:27,630 --> 01:17:28,990
They hit him with a rock!

1139
01:17:29,150 --> 01:17:31,150
- A really big one.
- How could they?

1140
01:17:31,390 --> 01:17:33,470
- Who is it?
- Someone asking for his money.

1141
01:17:33,710 --> 01:17:34,830
He hit him with a rock!

1142
01:17:34,990 --> 01:17:36,510
Just the boss?

1143
01:17:36,670 --> 01:17:39,070
The whole family joined in,
saw them!

1144
01:17:39,310 --> 01:17:40,590
He called them!

1145
01:17:40,830 --> 01:17:42,750
I just can't watch.

1146
01:17:42,990 --> 01:17:45,150
- Are they still out there?
- Yup.

1147
01:17:45,550 --> 01:17:48,990
- He's down and bleeding
- And they don't stop?

1148
01:17:50,590 --> 01:17:52,830
Quick, quick!

1149
01:17:58,670 --> 01:18:00,670
Three against one.
His head's bleeding.

1150
01:18:00,910 --> 01:18:02,350
- Who is it?
- Can't see.

1151
01:18:28,910 --> 01:18:30,590
It's bad, where's the police?

1152
01:18:31,790 --> 01:18:33,550
Someone must have called them.

1153
01:18:36,030 --> 01:18:37,630
What do we do now?

1154
01:18:39,230 --> 01:18:41,470
How can we go on working here?

1155
01:18:42,110 --> 01:18:43,630
First time we've seen this.

1156
01:18:43,950 --> 01:18:45,870
That's one nasty family.

1157
01:18:46,030 --> 01:18:47,470
Where are they from?

1158
01:18:47,710 --> 01:18:50,910
I don't think they're from here.

1159
01:18:51,230 --> 01:18:53,950
Henan, I think,
somewhere like that.

1160
01:18:54,110 --> 01:18:56,030
And they're always late paying.

1161
01:18:56,190 --> 01:18:57,790
Or Hunan, maybe?

1162
01:18:58,750 --> 01:19:00,830
Seems they ran up a debt.

1163
01:19:01,550 --> 01:19:04,350
The guy comes to collect,
they beat him up.

1164
01:19:05,070 --> 01:19:06,990
They have some dodgy cousins too.

1165
01:19:07,230 --> 01:19:09,470
Someone will get even.
Bound to.

1166
01:19:11,630 --> 01:19:13,630
And he had help,
a couple of thugs.

1167
01:19:13,870 --> 01:19:15,470
Let's take a breather.

1168
01:19:16,670 --> 01:19:18,590
Fuck this...
Work for these people?

1169
01:19:19,870 --> 01:19:22,910
Can we trust them to pay us?

1170
01:19:23,150 --> 01:19:25,150
They'll screw us for sure.

1171
01:19:25,550 --> 01:19:27,950
Did you see that?
Smashed his head with a rock!

1172
01:19:28,190 --> 01:19:30,270
- This is trouble.
- We can't stay here.

1173
01:19:30,590 --> 01:19:31,950
- Blood everywhere.
- No way.

1174
01:19:32,190 --> 01:19:33,630
I say quit, it's too much.

1175
01:19:33,790 --> 01:19:36,030
Tell your husband
you want to go home.

1176
01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:38,990
The old bitch was there too.
Vicious bastards.

1177
01:19:39,230 --> 01:19:42,110
- He beat that guy senseless.
-Yeah, he's the worst.

1178
01:19:43,950 --> 01:19:46,030
- I'm still shaking!
- So brutal.

1179
01:19:46,190 --> 01:19:47,630
Seeing that up close...

1180
01:19:47,790 --> 01:19:49,310
But where are the cops?

1181
01:19:49,470 --> 01:19:50,990
Did anyone call them?

1182
01:19:51,230 --> 01:19:53,550
That other boss did.

1183
01:19:55,070 --> 01:19:56,910
Some of our lot, they're acting like,

1184
01:19:57,150 --> 01:19:59,790
if he was beaten
it must be his fault.

1185
01:20:00,990 --> 01:20:03,310
They're always blaming someone else.

1186
01:20:03,550 --> 01:20:05,070
And they don't
pay their debts.

1187
01:20:05,310 --> 01:20:08,990
I was fetching a bundle,
I saw them come storming out...

1188
01:20:09,310 --> 01:20:10,590
Ok, let's get back.

1189
01:20:10,910 --> 01:20:12,510
Let me watch a minute.

1190
01:20:12,750 --> 01:20:15,550
- Who cares if they fight.
- I want to see what happens.

1191
01:20:31,790 --> 01:20:33,870
Take a look from this side.

1192
01:20:36,590 --> 01:20:38,990
- Two guys?
- He came with his brother.

1193
01:20:39,230 --> 01:20:40,990
- That's right.
- Two of them!

1194
01:20:41,230 --> 01:20:43,150
Seems two wasn't enough.

1195
01:20:43,390 --> 01:20:45,070
Our boss wants
to shut the shop

1196
01:20:45,310 --> 01:20:47,070
I can see two guys on the ground.

1197
01:20:47,230 --> 01:20:48,590
So there were two.

1198
01:20:48,750 --> 01:20:51,550
Two down, one is unconscious.

1199
01:20:51,870 --> 01:20:53,870
Let them all croak,
good riddance.

1200
01:21:00,670 --> 01:21:02,910
Funny way to do business.

1201
01:21:03,550 --> 01:21:06,350
Who wants to work
for people like that?

1202
01:21:06,590 --> 01:21:08,110
It's not the first time either.

1203
01:21:08,350 --> 01:21:09,790
One of them can still talk.

1204
01:21:10,030 --> 01:21:11,950
Two wounded...

1205
01:21:12,270 --> 01:21:14,510
One really needs a doctor.

1206
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:17,630
- And no-one reports it.
- The boss said "no need."

1207
01:21:17,870 --> 01:21:19,630
Everyone's too busy watching.

1208
01:21:19,870 --> 01:21:21,950
- The cops were here earlier.
- Really?

1209
01:21:22,190 --> 01:21:23,390
Yeah, they came.

1210
01:21:23,550 --> 01:21:24,830
This morning

1211
01:21:25,070 --> 01:21:27,390
You see it with your own eyes,
it's scary.

1212
01:21:28,030 --> 01:21:30,270
don't even want
to go down there.

1213
01:21:30,510 --> 01:21:34,030
Our own boss acts like a thug,
and we're still here?

1214
01:21:34,270 --> 01:21:36,510
I should just take off,
forget the money.

1215
01:21:36,670 --> 01:21:39,630
Some day I'll come
and smash this place up.

1216
01:21:41,870 --> 01:21:44,110
Don't need this stress,
day after day.

1217
01:21:45,150 --> 01:21:47,150
After we eat,
I'll ask for my pay.

1218
01:21:47,390 --> 01:21:49,070
Wow, that's fighting talk.

1219
01:21:49,950 --> 01:21:51,950
If he says no,
we should all fight.

1220
01:21:52,190 --> 01:21:53,550
Right, no exceptions.

1221
01:21:53,790 --> 01:21:55,710
We're all in this together.

1222
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,749
{\an8}ZHOU FENG,
38, from Xuancheng, Anhui Province

1223
01:21:59,630 --> 01:22:01,470
Work two more days,
what's the point?

1224
01:22:01,630 --> 01:22:03,950
Feeding us little jobs
just to keep us here.

1225
01:22:04,110 --> 01:22:06,030
He can't pay anyway, right?

1226
01:22:06,190 --> 01:22:08,990
- Some items, he'll only pay 3¥.
- What items?

1227
01:22:09,150 --> 01:22:10,910
Not just a few items.

1228
01:22:11,470 --> 01:22:14,350
Those four we did last week.

1229
01:22:14,590 --> 01:22:16,510
- That's a lot.
- Yeah, took us a week.

1230
01:22:16,670 --> 01:22:18,350
- And at what rate?
- Don't worry.

1231
01:22:18,590 --> 01:22:21,230
- Eh?
- He said 5.2, didn't he?

1232
01:22:21,790 --> 01:22:24,670
- Oh yeah?
- That was just a quote.

1233
01:22:24,910 --> 01:22:26,910
- Not a promise.
- Just to keep us quiet.

1234
01:22:27,150 --> 01:22:29,150
No way we can trust that guy.

1235
01:22:30,030 --> 01:22:31,870
This morning he said 5.2.

1236
01:22:32,110 --> 01:22:34,590
We all heard him.
We'll hold him to it.

1237
01:22:35,150 --> 01:22:36,990
Another month of this!

1238
01:22:37,230 --> 01:22:40,030
No, he just said he could offer 5.

1239
01:22:40,830 --> 01:22:43,470
We should have settled this by now.

1240
01:22:43,710 --> 01:22:45,790
Our last rate should still be valid.

1241
01:22:46,030 --> 01:22:49,070
He can always promise,
but will he honor it?

1242
01:22:51,550 --> 01:22:54,590
It's just talk,
to make us keep working.

1243
01:22:55,230 --> 01:22:56,990
If we ask to be paid

1244
01:22:58,030 --> 01:22:59,870
but we haven't agreed a rate,

1245
01:23:00,110 --> 01:23:02,030
and he offers us 3¥, then what?

1246
01:23:02,190 --> 01:23:03,390
Well, we just tell him,

1247
01:23:03,550 --> 01:23:06,270
you want to pay us 3¥,
we're all out of here.

1248
01:23:06,670 --> 01:23:08,750
And he says, ok, bye bye!

1249
01:23:08,910 --> 01:23:11,710
No way he'll say 3¥.

1250
01:23:12,030 --> 01:23:13,790
We agreed on more last time.

1251
01:23:13,950 --> 01:23:15,470
You'll see, it'll be even less.

1252
01:23:15,710 --> 01:23:17,790
- Who works for 3¥?
- But he can say,

1253
01:23:17,950 --> 01:23:19,950
if you quit early, the deal's off.

1254
01:23:20,190 --> 01:23:21,950
And he has more work for us.

1255
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:24,338
{\an8}YE KAI,
24, from Guizhou Province

1256
01:23:22,190 --> 01:23:22,750
Wrong!

1257
01:23:22,910 --> 01:23:24,990
After this item,
there's no more cloth!

1258
01:23:25,230 --> 01:23:27,790
So let's work late, whatever,
and finish this item!

1259
01:23:27,950 --> 01:23:30,110
He'll say,
I have new orders every day.

1260
01:23:30,270 --> 01:23:32,910
So what does that mean,
"quit early?"

1261
01:23:33,070 --> 01:23:35,630
- Each rate is only for a month.
- That won't fly.

1262
01:23:35,790 --> 01:23:38,030
It works both ways.
He can change the rate,

1263
01:23:38,430 --> 01:23:40,350
and we can say no and go.

1264
01:23:40,590 --> 01:23:42,910
While you sit there and talk,
we're not working.

1265
01:23:43,150 --> 01:23:44,670
If we work, we can go home.

1266
01:23:44,830 --> 01:23:46,750
We can talk later.

1267
01:23:46,990 --> 01:23:50,110
Let's try to corner him after dinner.

1268
01:23:50,750 --> 01:23:52,350
Don't wait till he comes to us.

1269
01:23:52,830 --> 01:23:54,830
No use going to see him now.

1270
01:23:55,070 --> 01:23:56,830
It's too soon.

1271
01:23:59,070 --> 01:24:01,870
If he's arrested,
that's 30 or 40k bail.

1272
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,739
{\an8}Manager's younger sister,
from Hunan Province

1273
01:24:02,670 --> 01:24:04,110
Not more?

1274
01:24:04,750 --> 01:24:08,270
Not that much.
More like 5 or 6k.

1275
01:24:08,590 --> 01:24:09,950
It's not that serious.

1276
01:24:10,190 --> 01:24:11,710
- Right.
- It's a light injury.

1277
01:24:11,950 --> 01:24:13,150
A few bruises.

1278
01:24:13,790 --> 01:24:14,910
Seriously?

1279
01:24:15,870 --> 01:24:18,670
He could demand
my kid brother goes to jail.

1280
01:24:18,910 --> 01:24:20,270
Even for common assault,

1281
01:24:20,510 --> 01:24:21,790
he could do five years.

1282
01:24:22,030 --> 01:24:23,630
You're crazy. Three years, tops.

1283
01:24:23,790 --> 01:24:25,710
- "Minor?"
- Right, one to three.

1284
01:24:25,950 --> 01:24:27,710
- Slight or minor.
Oh, so you know?

1285
01:24:27,950 --> 01:24:29,310
guess you would.

1286
01:24:29,470 --> 01:24:30,910
It's at least a year.

1287
01:24:31,150 --> 01:24:33,950
Slight or minor bodily harm,
one to three years!

1288
01:24:34,190 --> 01:24:36,910
Seems to me,
that's getting off lightly.

1289
01:24:37,150 --> 01:24:38,990
Used to be a lot stricter.

1290
01:24:39,230 --> 01:24:41,390
Especially for more serious injuries.

1291
01:24:47,070 --> 01:24:48,910
Come on, back to work!

1292
01:24:49,070 --> 01:24:51,150
When you're done,
I have to cut some slits.

1293
01:24:54,030 --> 01:24:55,550
No overtime tonight.

1294
01:24:55,870 --> 01:24:57,790
In that case just finish
what's in hand.

1295
01:24:58,030 --> 01:25:03,310
We'll need to work past 11!
Just for the overlock stitching!

1296
01:25:03,470 --> 01:25:05,470
Those four-panel pants
are simple enough!

1297
01:25:05,710 --> 01:25:07,950
Easy to say,
not so easy to sew.

1298
01:25:08,590 --> 01:25:10,990
What do you have to pay
that guy you beat up?

1299
01:25:11,230 --> 01:25:13,390
- He hasn't asked.
- Really?

1300
01:25:13,550 --> 01:25:14,350
So I don't know.

1301
01:25:14,590 --> 01:25:17,070
- Pay for treatment, that's it.
- Oh?

1302
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:19,090
{\an8}Manager's father,
from Hunan Province

1303
01:25:17,390 --> 01:25:19,790
Beat him up, then just
slip him some cash?

1304
01:25:20,030 --> 01:25:21,630
- Right, medical costs.
- Uh-huh.

1305
01:25:22,030 --> 01:25:24,110
One or two thousand
should cover it.

1306
01:25:35,310 --> 01:25:37,710
After this, I don't feel like
working here.

1307
01:25:37,950 --> 01:25:40,830
We haven't heard the end of it.

1308
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:44,190
If it really was the fabric supplier,
there'll be hell to pay.

1309
01:25:44,430 --> 01:25:46,110
won't involve you guys,

1310
01:25:46,270 --> 01:25:48,750
but if they don't pay me,
see what happens.

1311
01:25:48,910 --> 01:25:50,190
What do they expect?

1312
01:25:50,510 --> 01:25:52,910
don't look for trouble,
just the opposite.

1313
01:25:53,950 --> 01:25:56,430
I know what I have to do
that's all.

1314
01:25:56,670 --> 01:25:58,510
A guy gets beaten up,

1315
01:25:59,710 --> 01:26:01,070
and no questions asked?

1316
01:26:02,510 --> 01:26:04,190
There have to be consequences.

1317
01:26:04,590 --> 01:26:06,430
- It's not that simple.
- Right.

1318
01:26:06,670 --> 01:26:08,990
That was the fabric supplier,
so it's serious.

1319
01:26:09,230 --> 01:26:10,750
Not simple at all.

1320
01:26:11,630 --> 01:26:13,470
They owe me 2000, maybe 2500.

1321
01:26:13,710 --> 01:26:15,870
- You staying?
- No way, quit.

1322
01:26:16,110 --> 01:26:17,870
But we need our deposit back.

1323
01:26:18,910 --> 01:26:20,110
2000, that's money.

1324
01:26:20,350 --> 01:26:23,630
Here, sit down, tell me
how to get the money.

1325
01:26:23,790 --> 01:26:25,550
- Huh?
- Go on, tell me.

1326
01:26:26,030 --> 01:26:28,110
You just want your pay, right?

1327
01:26:28,350 --> 01:26:30,190
You work like hell
for 2000¥,

1328
01:26:30,590 --> 01:26:32,670
you sew hundreds of pants.

1329
01:26:33,230 --> 01:26:34,910
Right, one after the other.

1330
01:26:35,070 --> 01:26:36,590
That's it.

1331
01:27:52,670 --> 01:27:53,950
Look, mommy!

1332
01:28:03,950 --> 01:28:05,470
Mommy look!

1333
01:28:07,310 --> 01:28:08,830
Look, Mommy, look!

1334
01:28:09,710 --> 01:28:10,910
Mommy!

1335
01:28:11,230 --> 01:28:12,510
Mommy look!

1336
01:28:12,830 --> 01:28:13,950
Not now.

1337
01:28:14,510 --> 01:28:15,790
Look, look!

1338
01:28:16,190 --> 01:28:17,470
For you, Mommy!

1339
01:28:17,790 --> 01:28:19,070
No thanks!

1340
01:28:22,190 --> 01:28:23,790
Ok, give me that!

1341
01:28:26,590 --> 01:28:27,870
For Mommy.

1342
01:28:31,150 --> 01:28:32,990
Take scissor...

1343
01:28:33,790 --> 01:28:35,550
Here.
Oh no, it's broken!

1344
01:28:40,030 --> 01:28:42,590
You guys had no water
at all that year.

1345
01:28:42,830 --> 01:28:44,510
- Water?
- Yup.

1346
01:28:45,550 --> 01:28:48,190
- If the streams dry up...
- That's it.

1347
01:28:48,990 --> 01:28:54,350
When the fields are dry,
we depend on the streams.

1348
01:28:55,630 --> 01:28:57,550
I remember,
you called the girls out

1349
01:28:57,790 --> 01:28:59,870
to transplant the seedlings.

1350
01:29:00,190 --> 01:29:02,910
No mud to stick them into,

1351
01:29:03,230 --> 01:29:05,230
they had to use a hoe.

1352
01:29:10,190 --> 01:29:12,590
No water anywhere, it was bad.

1353
01:29:24,030 --> 01:29:26,190
How long were you working there?

1354
01:29:27,070 --> 01:29:29,470
A few months, I guess.

1355
01:29:35,310 --> 01:29:36,591
Sorry...

1356
01:29:36,830 --> 01:29:39,630
- Any water left?
- Just a bit.

1357
01:29:39,950 --> 01:29:41,230
Why take them down?

1358
01:29:41,390 --> 01:29:43,390
Why not boil more upstairs?

1359
01:29:43,630 --> 01:29:44,590
No, I can't,

1360
01:29:45,310 --> 01:29:47,310
they need them down there.

1361
01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:55,150
Will they cut more fabric?

1362
01:29:55,390 --> 01:29:56,990
We'll see what they give us.

1363
01:29:57,310 --> 01:30:00,670
We have to talk
straight with them.

1364
01:30:03,630 --> 01:30:05,150
We work two more days, then...

1365
01:30:05,710 --> 01:30:07,950
One batch, two days,
then two days off.

1366
01:30:08,510 --> 01:30:09,870
Right, but...

1367
01:30:10,270 --> 01:30:12,590
Another batch would mean
a few more days

1368
01:30:12,750 --> 01:30:14,670
We can't just believe what he says!

1369
01:30:15,630 --> 01:30:16,990
He says "don't worry."

1370
01:30:17,550 --> 01:30:18,750
Like that buddy of yours.

1371
01:30:18,990 --> 01:30:20,750
"Don't worry, you'll get paid."

1372
01:30:21,070 --> 01:30:23,710
"We'll settle up soon."
Right?

1373
01:30:24,830 --> 01:30:26,910
But we've paid a deposit.
We have to work.

1374
01:30:27,150 --> 01:30:29,710
If you go on working,
how can you ask for it back?

1375
01:30:31,630 --> 01:30:32,990
See what I mean?

1376
01:30:33,870 --> 01:30:35,230
If he keeps giving work,

1377
01:30:36,110 --> 01:30:38,190
there's nothing you can do,

1378
01:30:38,830 --> 01:30:41,150
no more than the rest of us.

1379
01:30:41,790 --> 01:30:43,950
If you just ask for
your deposit back,

1380
01:30:44,190 --> 01:30:45,470
he'll never agree.

1381
01:30:45,630 --> 01:30:48,270
Only if you get into
some dispute about work

1382
01:30:48,510 --> 01:30:50,590
and you say
"Ok, I'll take my money and go,"

1383
01:30:50,830 --> 01:30:52,030
that could work.

1384
01:30:53,310 --> 01:30:54,510
Right?

1385
01:30:55,150 --> 01:30:56,670
Makes more sense.

1386
01:30:59,790 --> 01:31:02,670
He was 5000 short
paying for that fabric.

1387
01:31:03,150 --> 01:31:04,670
He couldn't even pay that.

1388
01:31:05,870 --> 01:31:07,870
I'm not that smart, I admit it.

1389
01:31:12,110 --> 01:31:14,030
I don't even know
how much I've got.

1390
01:31:14,190 --> 01:31:15,390
Come on, let's go.

1391
01:31:15,630 --> 01:31:17,790
- Probably nothing
- Let's go!

1392
01:31:20,030 --> 01:31:21,950
- If so, I'm out of here.
- Move!

1393
01:31:23,070 --> 01:31:24,830
- I'd have to, right?
- Yup.

1394
01:31:25,630 --> 01:31:27,470
Let's get paid.

1395
01:31:28,670 --> 01:31:30,590
Sorry, I made a stop on the way.

1396
01:31:30,910 --> 01:31:32,590
Oh, hi. Where?

1397
01:31:32,830 --> 01:31:34,750
We'll pay you, but go back to work.

1398
01:31:34,910 --> 01:31:36,590
You still awake?

1399
01:31:41,950 --> 01:31:43,150
It's been days now.

1400
01:31:43,310 --> 01:31:45,950
We wait every night,
and still no sign of him.

1401
01:31:46,110 --> 01:31:47,710
We should go see his brother.

1402
01:31:47,950 --> 01:31:50,110
Three, four days and still nothing.

1403
01:31:50,270 --> 01:31:52,830
If he's not here tomorrow,
we go to his brother.

1404
01:31:52,990 --> 01:31:55,230
Are we supposed to
wait up all night?

1405
01:31:55,550 --> 01:31:57,710
Complete waste of time.

1406
01:31:58,750 --> 01:32:00,750
They could just
tell us when to come.

1407
01:32:00,990 --> 01:32:02,350
Better to wait here.

1408
01:32:02,590 --> 01:32:04,590
- Fuck waiting.
- All night.

1409
01:32:04,990 --> 01:32:08,030
Wasting our time.

1410
01:32:10,510 --> 01:32:12,590
We're being conned again.

1411
01:32:12,830 --> 01:32:15,630
In two days, they said!

1412
01:32:17,710 --> 01:32:20,590
- It'll be the same tomorrow!
- We can't accept that.

1413
01:32:20,830 --> 01:32:23,070
If we're not paid tomorrow,
we never will be.

1414
01:32:23,310 --> 01:32:25,950
If f we go to his brother,
he'll call the cops,

1415
01:32:26,110 --> 01:32:27,630
and say you set a mob on him.

1416
01:32:27,870 --> 01:32:30,350
And CCTV. If we bring a crowd

1417
01:32:30,590 --> 01:32:32,750
We need some concrete proof,

1418
01:32:32,990 --> 01:32:34,190
something he signed.

1419
01:32:34,350 --> 01:32:37,790
The clothes are there,
we can hang a sign.

1420
01:32:38,030 --> 01:32:39,550
What use is that?

1421
01:32:39,790 --> 01:32:40,670
No use at all.

1422
01:32:41,630 --> 01:32:43,790
If you just give up,
you let him screw you.

1423
01:32:44,030 --> 01:32:47,150
- He hasn't cheated us yet.
- But he's playing with us.

1424
01:32:48,030 --> 01:32:50,590
It's too late to talk rates,
just try to get paid.

1425
01:32:50,830 --> 01:32:53,310
Forget the rates,
let's get paid tomorrow,

1426
01:32:53,630 --> 01:32:56,190
then go work for his brother.

1427
01:32:56,510 --> 01:32:59,790
Our boss has to pay us,
he promised.

1428
01:33:00,190 --> 01:33:02,110
Don't say that
until we're sure.

1429
01:33:02,270 --> 01:33:03,950
He needs to pay us in full.

1430
01:33:05,150 --> 01:33:06,670
His brother promised us too.

1431
01:33:06,830 --> 01:33:09,070
If he gives us the same runaround,

1432
01:33:10,590 --> 01:33:12,350
we'll make trouble in his shop,

1433
01:33:12,590 --> 01:33:15,230
and see what happens.

1434
01:33:15,630 --> 01:33:18,030
He can probably find a way

1435
01:33:18,270 --> 01:33:20,190
to accuse us of stirring up a mob,

1436
01:33:21,230 --> 01:33:22,910
say he's done nothing to us,

1437
01:33:23,230 --> 01:33:25,230
we're disrupting his business,
all that.

1438
01:33:25,550 --> 01:33:27,470
The cops will come and arrest us,

1439
01:33:27,710 --> 01:33:29,470
and his hands are clean.

1440
01:33:29,630 --> 01:33:30,830
Bad idea.

1441
01:33:33,550 --> 01:33:35,070
Waste of time.

1442
01:34:34,590 --> 01:34:36,030
Xinxin, behave.

1443
01:35:12,990 --> 01:35:14,990
Look, over here near the door.

1444
01:35:15,470 --> 01:35:17,710
They've moved some stuff out.

1445
01:35:23,550 --> 01:35:25,550
Come and look.

1446
01:35:27,150 --> 01:35:29,550
Don't try talking to him,
you won't get anywhere.

1447
01:35:52,190 --> 01:35:53,790
I think you're right.

1448
01:35:58,910 --> 01:36:00,670
Let's go.

1449
01:36:38,190 --> 01:36:39,470
Did you talk rates?

1450
01:36:39,710 --> 01:36:41,710
Send the guys in, ask for more!

1451
01:36:42,750 --> 01:36:44,350
- 5¥, minimum.
- Hmm.

1452
01:36:51,870 --> 01:36:53,550
So what do we do?

1453
01:36:54,190 --> 01:36:56,910
- This shop has to close.
- There's no work,

1454
01:36:57,070 --> 01:36:59,230
and it's no fun anymore.

1455
01:36:59,950 --> 01:37:01,870
Anyway, Wang Yong's gone.

1456
01:37:02,110 --> 01:37:05,390
He's not running things any more.

1457
01:37:05,870 --> 01:37:07,870
His brother's managing
both shops now.

1458
01:37:10,030 --> 01:37:10,990
Ok, come up.

1459
01:37:11,150 --> 01:37:12,670
So they're after the boss.

1460
01:37:12,910 --> 01:37:15,150
The tailor's still here,
making new patterns.

1461
01:37:15,390 --> 01:37:17,790
So that will take him a while.

1462
01:37:18,030 --> 01:37:19,710
I found a new shop for us,

1463
01:37:19,870 --> 01:37:22,270
and that will take a few days
to organize.

1464
01:37:22,910 --> 01:37:25,790
We'll lose a lot of working time.

1465
01:37:26,590 --> 01:37:28,190
Not much choice just now.

1466
01:37:28,350 --> 01:37:30,270
Can you make 200 a day there?

1467
01:37:30,510 --> 01:37:31,630
Even a bit more.

1468
01:37:32,190 --> 01:37:34,910
We'll need to talk to the boss.

1469
01:37:35,070 --> 01:37:36,430
200 plus a day is fine.

1470
01:37:36,670 --> 01:37:39,710
- Let's do it, work till the break.
- Same everywhere, anyway.

1471
01:37:40,030 --> 01:37:41,950
If business is slow,
they break early,

1472
01:37:42,270 --> 01:37:44,670
and there'd be no work
for us anyway.

1473
01:37:44,910 --> 01:37:47,710
First week of January,
they all stop.

1474
01:37:47,950 --> 01:37:49,950
Twenty days still to go.

1475
01:37:50,190 --> 01:37:53,070
Is it worth looking,
for a week's work?

1476
01:37:53,470 --> 01:37:55,070
Sure! Let's do it!

1477
01:37:55,790 --> 01:37:58,030
It'll take a few days
to relocate.

1478
01:37:58,270 --> 01:38:01,470
We may not find
a place so soon,

1479
01:38:01,870 --> 01:38:04,750
probably lose three or four days.

1480
01:38:04,990 --> 01:38:05,870
That's fine.

1481
01:38:06,190 --> 01:38:08,030
That's a good shop you found,

1482
01:38:08,190 --> 01:38:10,830
in Lichang East Road.

1483
01:38:11,070 --> 01:38:14,590
Their batches are huge,
over 100 items.

1484
01:38:14,750 --> 01:38:18,590
That's good, we can do
2 or 3 days there.

1485
01:38:18,750 --> 01:38:19,710
Or Jiangnan Road?

1486
01:38:19,950 --> 01:38:21,470
- Where I used to work?
- Yes.

1487
01:38:21,630 --> 01:38:23,550
- How did you know?
- Of course I know.

1488
01:38:24,910 --> 01:38:26,110
They pay 7 for pants.

1489
01:38:26,350 --> 01:38:29,630
And they break on December 26th?

1490
01:38:30,030 --> 01:38:31,550
And where will I go after that?

1491
01:38:31,790 --> 01:38:34,590
You work hard there,
you can make money.

1492
01:38:34,750 --> 01:38:37,550
The boss has plans
for a shop in Anqing.

1493
01:38:37,790 --> 01:38:38,750
Or so they say.

1494
01:38:38,910 --> 01:38:40,910
- Where's their boss from?
- Hubei.

1495
01:38:41,230 --> 01:38:44,030
They have a dedicated finishing shop.

1496
01:38:47,230 --> 01:38:48,110
Hey, sister.

1497
01:38:48,830 --> 01:38:50,030
Uh-huh.

1498
01:38:50,910 --> 01:38:53,790
Overtime?
We haven't worked for a week.

1499
01:38:55,630 --> 01:38:59,230
Right, the whole week.
Our boss got into a fight.

1500
01:38:59,630 --> 01:39:01,790
He beat someone up,
he's on the run.

1501
01:39:02,030 --> 01:39:03,550
Can't be reached.

1502
01:39:05,630 --> 01:39:08,990
He was supposed to
pay us two days ago.

1503
01:39:09,150 --> 01:39:12,590
Everyone pressing him.
But he's gone.

1504
01:39:12,830 --> 01:39:15,550
He owes a lot of people money.

1505
01:39:18,190 --> 01:39:21,310
It will take time to work out.

1506
01:39:24,030 --> 01:39:27,550
So we don't know
if or when he's coming back.

1507
01:39:28,110 --> 01:39:29,790
Where are you now?

1508
01:39:32,910 --> 01:39:34,590
When do you get off?

1509
01:39:36,110 --> 01:39:38,590
What? Overtime till half past midnight?

1510
01:39:38,830 --> 01:39:40,510
Back to work the day after tomorrow?

1511
01:39:40,830 --> 01:39:41,470
Right.

1512
01:39:42,030 --> 01:39:43,630
- The brother said that?
- Yup.

1513
01:40:17,630 --> 01:40:19,390
I went to open up the 3rd floor.

1514
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:21,657
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 136 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

1515
01:40:19,630 --> 01:40:21,950
The place was deserted,
so I called the police.

1516
01:40:22,350 --> 01:40:24,830
asked the landlord,
before you all got up.

1517
01:40:25,310 --> 01:40:27,070
He has a room on the 3rd floor?

1518
01:40:27,230 --> 01:40:29,630
Yes, where he leaves his stuff.

1519
01:40:29,790 --> 01:40:31,470
He has a storage room?

1520
01:40:31,710 --> 01:40:34,270
He must have moved
some things in there.

1521
01:40:34,510 --> 01:40:36,270
Into that private room of his.

1522
01:40:36,670 --> 01:40:38,430
What about the 4th or 5th floor?

1523
01:40:39,070 --> 01:40:41,630
He probably stashed stuff there too.

1524
01:40:43,070 --> 01:40:44,590
Are you from Anqing?

1525
01:40:44,830 --> 01:40:46,430
We're all from Anhui,

1526
01:40:46,670 --> 01:40:48,270
some are from Anqing.

1527
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:50,665
{\an8}ZHANG XINSHENG,
23, from Wuhu, Anhui Province

1528
01:40:49,150 --> 01:40:50,190
The boss isn't, though?

1529
01:40:50,430 --> 01:40:51,790
He's from the North-East.

1530
01:40:51,950 --> 01:40:53,710
- Shenyang.
- Liaoning Province.

1531
01:40:56,910 --> 01:40:57,950
And the machines?

1532
01:40:58,190 --> 01:40:59,470
Well, our boss has gone.

1533
01:40:59,630 --> 01:41:01,310
We just came from the police station.

1534
01:41:01,470 --> 01:41:02,910
There are lots of cases.

1535
01:41:03,070 --> 01:41:04,350
Bosses who skipped out.

1536
01:41:04,590 --> 01:41:07,470
In one shop, their boss
has been gone three months.

1537
01:41:07,790 --> 01:41:08,990
It's happening all over.

1538
01:41:09,230 --> 01:41:11,630
Some have been searching for weeks.

1539
01:41:12,270 --> 01:41:16,110
Problem is,
we expect the authorities to help,

1540
01:41:16,430 --> 01:41:18,270
and try to track them down.

1541
01:41:18,590 --> 01:41:22,190
But they don't seem to care.

1542
01:41:22,590 --> 01:41:26,990
They just take a statement,
and tell us to wait.

1543
01:41:27,310 --> 01:41:29,550
Seems it's our job to find him.

1544
01:41:29,710 --> 01:41:32,510
- They say they have procedures.
- Bullshit.

1545
01:41:32,750 --> 01:41:34,430
We can talk all we like.

1546
01:41:34,590 --> 01:41:35,950
They say
it's not their job.

1547
01:41:36,190 --> 01:41:38,910
Fact is, the police, the officials,

1548
01:41:39,390 --> 01:41:41,230
they have no clue.

1549
01:41:41,390 --> 01:41:42,510
All they know

1550
01:41:42,670 --> 01:41:44,750
is how to give us the runaround.

1551
01:41:45,870 --> 01:41:46,990
They're not interested.

1552
01:41:47,230 --> 01:41:48,190
That's it.

1553
01:41:50,190 --> 01:41:51,870
No-one's going to help us.

1554
01:41:53,310 --> 01:41:54,750
Didn't they send someone?

1555
01:41:55,470 --> 01:41:57,710
They just came and
had a look around,

1556
01:41:57,870 --> 01:41:59,950
and then they left.

1557
01:42:00,350 --> 01:42:01,470
End of story.

1558
01:42:01,870 --> 01:42:05,470
- What about guarding the machines?
- They didn't say.

1559
01:42:05,710 --> 01:42:08,110
They just checked our IDs.

1560
01:42:08,350 --> 01:42:09,550
And phone numbers.

1561
01:42:09,790 --> 01:42:11,710
Took down all our details and left.

1562
01:42:12,910 --> 01:42:14,350
Right, at 10
West Yimin Road.

1563
01:42:14,590 --> 01:42:17,150
The boss brought it 6 weeks ago.

1564
01:42:18,990 --> 01:42:19,950
What?

1565
01:42:21,070 --> 01:42:22,750
Until New Year?

1566
01:42:41,710 --> 01:42:43,230
Ok, got it.

1567
01:42:54,750 --> 01:42:56,750
As I'm sure you realize,

1568
01:42:57,390 --> 01:42:58,670
I can't really haggle.

1569
01:42:58,910 --> 01:43:02,110
The price of each machine
is recorded at sale.

1570
01:43:02,590 --> 01:43:03,790
I'm sure you know this.

1571
01:43:04,030 --> 01:43:08,350
This month, new machines
are selling at 1070¥.

1572
01:43:08,590 --> 01:43:09,870
That's for a new one.

1573
01:43:10,110 --> 01:43:12,510
Trust me,
we have the receipts.

1574
01:43:12,670 --> 01:43:14,990
So we're looking at
second-hand prices.

1575
01:43:15,230 --> 01:43:17,310
For what you have here,

1576
01:43:17,550 --> 01:43:20,030
we can give you
700 each.

1577
01:43:20,270 --> 01:43:23,230
- How much?
- 700 for each machine.

1578
01:43:23,710 --> 01:43:25,070
All at the same price?

1579
01:43:25,310 --> 01:43:27,390
Right, that's my best offer.

1580
01:43:27,630 --> 01:43:29,950
So...
would that include, say,

1581
01:43:30,190 --> 01:43:32,190
this lace machine?

1582
01:43:32,430 --> 01:43:34,590
- And the serger?
- Those are valuable!

1583
01:43:34,830 --> 01:43:38,270
And what about this one,
for linings?

1584
01:43:38,510 --> 01:43:40,910
It's a flat price,
we can take them all.

1585
01:43:41,310 --> 01:43:43,070
Sergers are worth a lot more.

1586
01:43:43,310 --> 01:43:46,430
The way things are, believe me,

1587
01:43:46,670 --> 01:43:48,190
a serger can go for 500.

1588
01:43:48,430 --> 01:43:49,950
I can give you 900.

1589
01:43:52,350 --> 01:43:54,830
Alright?
Well, everyone's busy,

1590
01:43:55,390 --> 01:43:57,790
let us know if you
get a better offer.

1591
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:01,895
{\an8}ZHANG HUAN,
from Anqing, Anhui Province

1592
01:43:58,590 --> 01:44:00,830
Sure, take care now.

1593
01:44:01,870 --> 01:44:04,350
Best offer.
I just need to check with our boss.

1594
01:44:04,510 --> 01:44:06,590
If she says ok,
can take them off you.

1595
01:44:06,830 --> 01:44:08,830
No-one else will
trust me

1596
01:44:11,630 --> 01:44:13,310
Hold on a minute.

1597
01:44:13,630 --> 01:44:15,710
Yeah, we still need
to check with the boss.

1598
01:44:18,030 --> 01:44:20,030
We can't decide now.

1599
01:44:20,430 --> 01:44:22,350
We'll be off then.

1600
01:44:22,590 --> 01:44:24,990
You can check
prices online.

1601
01:44:27,470 --> 01:44:29,150
Used sergers are going
at 700 now.

1602
01:44:29,390 --> 01:44:31,230
Maybe 900 on the website.

1603
01:44:31,470 --> 01:44:33,950
Last month it was 1070.

1604
01:44:34,190 --> 01:44:36,590
Sold five machines at that price.

1605
01:44:36,750 --> 01:44:38,830
That's the best you'll get.

1606
01:44:42,910 --> 01:44:44,270
Ok, whatever.

1607
01:44:48,190 --> 01:44:49,630
That door upstairs is locked.

1608
01:44:57,150 --> 01:44:59,550
We can break in from the 4th floor.

1609
01:45:36,590 --> 01:45:37,950
Turn it that way.

1610
01:45:41,150 --> 01:45:42,670
It's double-locked.

1611
01:45:51,950 --> 01:45:53,310
Hey, be careful.

1612
01:46:09,070 --> 01:46:11,950
I don't want to force it.

1613
01:46:13,230 --> 01:46:15,710
We could call the landlord

1614
01:46:15,950 --> 01:46:17,310
He can open it.

1615
01:46:17,550 --> 01:46:19,230
No way he'll do it.

1616
01:46:19,470 --> 01:46:21,710
He's a victim too.

1617
01:46:24,910 --> 01:46:28,030
can't believe
he's run out on us

1618
01:46:28,190 --> 01:46:30,670
He could have gone
during the holiday.

1619
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:34,781
{\an8}Wife of Zhang Xinsheng,
from Wuhu, Anhui Province

1620
01:46:49,390 --> 01:46:51,630
What a pain.

1621
01:47:11,390 --> 01:47:14,030
When will your film be finished?

1622
01:47:21,150 --> 01:47:22,510
That's all there is?

1623
01:47:22,750 --> 01:47:24,270
Yeah, just this stuff.

1624
01:47:36,030 --> 01:47:37,550
The CPU's gone.

1625
01:47:38,830 --> 01:47:40,430
This computer's been gutted.

1626
01:47:40,670 --> 01:47:42,350
This is worth something.

1627
01:47:42,670 --> 01:47:45,070
- The hardware, maybe.
- But he's wiped it.

1628
01:47:45,310 --> 01:47:47,070
- And this?
- It's just a frame,

1629
01:47:47,310 --> 01:47:48,910
there's nothing left.

1630
01:47:49,550 --> 01:47:51,310
All cleaned out.

1631
01:47:51,790 --> 01:47:53,470
Just a router
that might still work.

1632
01:47:53,710 --> 01:47:54,910
Zilch.

1633
01:47:55,950 --> 01:47:57,790
Just plugs and wiring.

1634
01:47:57,950 --> 01:47:59,550
And empty machines.

1635
01:48:00,190 --> 01:48:02,430
Here's an extension cord.

1636
01:48:02,750 --> 01:48:04,350
We can run a fridge
and aircon

1637
01:48:28,190 --> 01:48:30,670
Oh hell, what are we going to do?

1638
01:48:39,230 --> 01:48:41,390
You came later, that's all.

1639
01:48:51,150 --> 01:48:53,390
They're owed a bit more.

1640
01:48:54,270 --> 01:48:57,070
They were here from the start,
they came with my Ma.

1641
01:48:57,310 --> 01:49:00,190
That team was fast,
even earned a bonus.

1642
01:49:00,350 --> 01:49:01,150
Oh yeah?

1643
01:49:02,030 --> 01:49:04,750
When they come down
we can check the amounts.

1644
01:49:04,990 --> 01:49:06,750
I've earned 20,000¥.

1645
01:49:06,910 --> 01:49:09,870
He says he'll give us
900 per machine...

1646
01:49:10,190 --> 01:49:12,990
Take Zhangfan, she's really fast,

1647
01:49:13,390 --> 01:49:16,110
She's probably made 9000 pieces.

1648
01:49:16,270 --> 01:49:18,910
Right, someone like her
can make 30 or 40,000¥.

1649
01:49:19,150 --> 01:49:21,870
This shop isn't failing
or anything like that.

1650
01:49:22,030 --> 01:49:24,270
- So we can't understand it.
- 9000 pieces?

1651
01:49:24,670 --> 01:49:26,910
Right, just Zhangfan alone.

1652
01:49:27,230 --> 01:49:29,870
That works out at 30,000¥.

1653
01:49:30,190 --> 01:49:32,030
First let's take the money,

1654
01:49:32,190 --> 01:49:34,990
then we'll see about sharing.

1655
01:49:35,230 --> 01:49:37,710
We can sell these machines,

1656
01:49:37,870 --> 01:49:39,230
No problem.

1657
01:49:39,550 --> 01:49:41,870
He owes everyone, not just us.

1658
01:49:42,190 --> 01:49:44,830
We can get a few hundred
each at least.

1659
01:49:46,030 --> 01:49:47,710
Think about it.

1660
01:49:48,430 --> 01:49:50,190
Let's just discuss it calmly,

1661
01:49:50,430 --> 01:49:51,550
then talk to the guy.

1662
01:49:51,790 --> 01:49:53,070
- Negotiate.
- You ask me,

1663
01:49:53,310 --> 01:49:54,750
we should sell the lot

1664
01:49:54,990 --> 01:49:57,230
at 1000 each
- If he sticks on 900, take it.

1665
01:49:57,390 --> 01:49:58,350
Clean-out sale.

1666
01:49:58,590 --> 01:50:01,230
- Ok, aim for 1000, if not, 900.
-And soon.

1667
01:50:01,390 --> 01:50:02,590
Tell him to come over.

1668
01:50:02,830 --> 01:50:05,550
- Cut out the Labour Office?
- Let's see him first.

1669
01:50:05,950 --> 01:50:09,230
But if he screws us,
the LO won't help us.

1670
01:50:09,550 --> 01:50:13,870
Let's sell the machines,
then see about sharing the money.

1671
01:50:14,430 --> 01:50:16,510
No chance.
The Labour Office decides.

1672
01:50:16,750 --> 01:50:19,550
We know about that.
They'll just take it all,

1673
01:50:19,950 --> 01:50:23,310
give us a few hundred
to get home with.

1674
01:50:23,550 --> 01:50:25,310
That's what they do.

1675
01:50:25,550 --> 01:50:27,150
But if we agree together first

1676
01:50:27,310 --> 01:50:28,830
what can they say?

1677
01:50:29,470 --> 01:50:32,270
- They're bound to want a cut.
- That's how it works.

1678
01:50:32,670 --> 01:50:34,030
Ok, flatbeds, 900.

1679
01:50:34,190 --> 01:50:35,230
That's agreed.

1680
01:50:35,390 --> 01:50:38,110
Come over, we'll talk about the rest.

1681
01:50:38,270 --> 01:50:40,670
I'll be here.

1682
01:50:42,670 --> 01:50:44,350
No, no.

1683
01:50:44,590 --> 01:50:46,590
No, that won't work.

1684
01:50:48,990 --> 01:50:51,070
We can't go through
the Labour Office.

1685
01:50:51,470 --> 01:50:53,230
Once they get the cash,

1686
01:50:53,470 --> 01:50:54,910
you know what happens.

1687
01:50:55,150 --> 01:50:57,870
They give us 300¥
for train fare

1688
01:50:58,750 --> 01:51:01,070
and say "go home and wait."

1689
01:51:17,790 --> 01:51:20,190
They say one boss skipped with 650k?

1690
01:51:20,350 --> 01:51:21,630
That's right.

1691
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:24,280
{\an8}XIAO FEI,
from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province

1692
01:51:22,510 --> 01:51:25,150
And then the boss at no. 142,

1693
01:51:25,390 --> 01:51:26,590
down the block here?

1694
01:51:26,830 --> 01:51:29,150
That workshop on the corner?
Yup.

1695
01:51:29,310 --> 01:51:30,670
Before our guy left.

1696
01:51:31,070 --> 01:51:32,030
About a month ago.

1697
01:51:32,190 --> 01:51:34,910
And one on Rainbow Road?

1698
01:51:35,150 --> 01:51:37,870
I forget the number.
Also did a bunk.

1699
01:51:41,230 --> 01:51:43,070
And the "Golden Age,"

1700
01:51:43,230 --> 01:51:44,670
on Fuqiang East Road,
no. 65.

1701
01:51:44,910 --> 01:51:47,070
Also ran off with the cash.

1702
01:51:47,310 --> 01:51:50,030
I just don't get it, all this
in the last two years.

1703
01:51:50,270 --> 01:51:52,190
They say migrant work
is important

1704
01:51:52,430 --> 01:51:54,430
and has to be closely monitored,
right?

1705
01:51:54,750 --> 01:51:56,430
But in actual fact...

1706
01:52:06,510 --> 01:52:08,590
it's completely out of control.

1707
01:52:10,590 --> 01:52:13,470
Like, here no-one even
has a contract.

1708
01:52:14,350 --> 01:52:15,870
As if it made a difference.

1709
01:52:16,030 --> 01:52:17,150
Nobody signs anything,

1710
01:52:17,390 --> 01:52:19,230
Wouldn't mean shit anyway.

1711
01:52:19,790 --> 01:52:20,670
Right?

1712
01:52:20,910 --> 01:52:23,630
mean, they're not
really companies, are they?

1713
01:52:25,550 --> 01:52:28,350
Some guy just rents a space,

1714
01:52:28,510 --> 01:52:30,270
runs his business as he likes,

1715
01:52:31,230 --> 01:52:33,870
no paperwork, no rules, nothing.

1716
01:52:50,830 --> 01:52:52,350
Is Xiao Ke still outside?

1717
01:52:52,510 --> 01:52:54,670
They're downstairs
watching the police guys.

1718
01:54:53,870 --> 01:54:57,070
Yesterday the landlord said
he was changing the locks.

1719
01:54:59,550 --> 01:55:00,910
The boss is bad enough,

1720
01:55:01,150 --> 01:55:03,550
now the landlord is
giving us a hard time.

1721
01:55:03,790 --> 01:55:06,430
See how everyone kicks you
when you're down?

1722
01:55:07,230 --> 01:55:08,910
Like that air-con unit.

1723
01:55:09,070 --> 01:55:10,830
The boss buys a new aircon,

1724
01:55:10,990 --> 01:55:12,190
then he does a bunk.

1725
01:55:12,350 --> 01:55:14,910
The Labour Office says,

1726
01:55:15,230 --> 01:55:17,390
the aircon belongs to the shop.

1727
01:55:17,630 --> 01:55:20,270
But the landlord says it's his now,

1728
01:55:20,670 --> 01:55:22,430
so he takes 1000¥ for it

1729
01:55:22,670 --> 01:55:25,550
from the guy buying the machines,

1730
01:55:25,950 --> 01:55:27,630
who takes it off our price.

1731
01:55:27,790 --> 01:55:30,270
Then the landlord
cuts off the power!

1732
01:55:30,430 --> 01:55:33,550
So 1000¥ doesn't even
cover our electricity bill?

1733
01:55:34,750 --> 01:55:35,790
And the rent...

1734
01:55:36,030 --> 01:55:38,910
The boss rented this place
for a year.

1735
01:55:39,150 --> 01:55:41,470
- So the lease is still running.
- That's right.

1736
01:55:41,710 --> 01:55:43,390
And still he won't let us stay!

1737
01:55:43,790 --> 01:55:45,390
And he cuts off the power.

1738
01:55:52,270 --> 01:55:55,310
So we're stuck, we can't do anything,

1739
01:55:56,510 --> 01:55:58,110
we can't stay here,

1740
01:55:58,270 --> 01:55:59,870
and if we leave,
we're screwed.

1741
01:56:00,030 --> 01:56:01,470
If they evict us,

1742
01:56:01,630 --> 01:56:03,230
either today or tomorrow,

1743
01:56:03,630 --> 01:56:04,750
we'll be on the street.

1744
01:56:05,230 --> 01:56:07,470
This is our boss.

1745
01:56:09,790 --> 01:56:11,790
Is the picture clear?

1746
01:56:15,310 --> 01:56:16,270
Not bothered, is he?

1747
01:56:16,510 --> 01:56:19,310
We slave away every day
till 11 at night,

1748
01:56:19,630 --> 01:56:20,830
Up at dawn every  morning

1749
01:56:20,990 --> 01:56:22,510
And he just takes off.

1750
01:56:22,670 --> 01:56:25,230
Never gave us time off,
even when business was good.

1751
01:56:25,470 --> 01:56:26,670
Right.

1752
01:56:26,910 --> 01:56:29,070
We'd often do two weeks
without a break.

1753
01:56:29,230 --> 01:56:31,710
- Working flat out.
- He was making plenty.

1754
01:56:32,030 --> 01:56:33,630
A night off every other week.

1755
01:56:33,790 --> 01:56:35,070
We were really beat.

1756
01:56:35,230 --> 01:56:36,990
In the end we chose someone

1757
01:56:37,230 --> 01:56:39,070
to go down and talk to him.

1758
01:56:39,310 --> 01:56:41,230
We just wanted one evening a week

1759
01:56:41,470 --> 01:56:42,510
without overtime.

1760
01:56:42,750 --> 01:56:43,630
He says sorry, no way.

1761
01:56:43,870 --> 01:56:45,230
Any of you steps out

1762
01:56:45,470 --> 01:56:46,510
or takes time off,

1763
01:56:46,750 --> 01:56:48,350
I'll dock your pay.

1764
01:56:48,510 --> 01:56:50,350
Like that.

1765
01:56:51,870 --> 01:56:52,990
Everyone's gone.

1766
01:56:53,150 --> 01:56:54,910
- It's just us now.
- Xiao Ke?

1767
01:56:55,070 --> 01:56:56,750
- Gone.
- He has family somewhere.

1768
01:56:56,910 --> 01:56:58,350
Not sure where.

1769
01:57:02,670 --> 01:57:04,590
Just look at us...

1770
01:57:05,870 --> 01:57:07,230
How could this happen?

1771
01:57:14,110 --> 01:57:15,230
Oh, here you are.

1772
01:59:33,070 --> 01:59:35,070
Can't see a thing.

1773
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:15,709
{\an8}XIAO GE,
from Anqing, Anhui Province

1774
02:00:16,910 --> 02:00:18,430
This light...

1775
02:00:18,670 --> 02:00:20,350
- Shut the door.
- Is it too bright?

1776
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:22,270
He owed that Shanxi guy over 600k,

1777
02:00:22,510 --> 02:00:24,110
Why hasn't he come round?

1778
02:00:24,350 --> 02:00:26,430
He did, he took the cloth.

1779
02:00:26,670 --> 02:00:29,070
And he's not suing him?

1780
02:00:29,550 --> 02:00:30,990
- Yes, he is.
- But I thought

1781
02:00:31,310 --> 02:00:33,070
the cook took the
two rolls of cloth?

1782
02:00:33,310 --> 02:00:34,510
What?

1783
02:00:34,750 --> 02:00:36,510
He did, the cook took them

1784
02:00:37,150 --> 02:00:38,910
No way, why do you think

1785
02:00:39,150 --> 02:00:41,870
the ironing workers

1786
02:00:42,110 --> 02:00:42,990
beat up the cook?

1787
02:00:43,230 --> 02:00:44,590
It was because

1788
02:00:44,830 --> 02:00:46,350
they caught him stealing it.

1789
02:00:46,590 --> 02:00:47,950
He took the cloth

1790
02:00:48,190 --> 02:00:50,830
and some oil and stuff
They beat him up.

1791
02:00:51,230 --> 02:00:52,270
It was the cook.

1792
02:00:52,510 --> 02:00:54,830
Actually his son-in-law.

1793
02:00:55,710 --> 02:00:57,230
Nobody's saying anything now,

1794
02:00:57,470 --> 02:00:58,990
but that cook,

1795
02:00:59,230 --> 02:01:00,830
he knew there was a problem.

1796
02:01:00,990 --> 02:01:02,830
The landlord knew first,

1797
02:01:02,990 --> 02:01:04,990
he called to tip him off.

1798
02:01:05,470 --> 02:01:07,710
So the cook doesn't tell us

1799
02:01:08,430 --> 02:01:10,590
he calls his son-in-law

1800
02:01:10,830 --> 02:01:13,710
who comes and grabs
those two new rolls of cloth.

1801
02:01:13,950 --> 02:01:16,350
while he cleans out the food supply.

1802
02:01:16,510 --> 02:01:18,270
Even took the chili sauce.

1803
02:01:18,510 --> 02:01:19,950
And the ironer said nothing.

1804
02:01:20,190 --> 02:01:21,710
He got 600¥.

1805
02:01:21,950 --> 02:01:24,510
I told you, didn't I?
I said, something's wrong

1806
02:01:24,750 --> 02:01:26,910
I told you he'd gone home.

1807
02:01:27,150 --> 02:01:29,550
- So what's his game?
- Zhang Xinsheng didn't say.

1808
02:01:29,790 --> 02:01:31,630
He left early today,
went to a hostel.

1809
02:01:31,870 --> 02:01:33,550
I tried to tell you, remember?

1810
02:01:33,790 --> 02:01:35,870
So what's he up to?

1811
02:01:36,110 --> 02:01:38,190
don't know.

1812
02:01:38,510 --> 02:01:41,070
What does he think?
He won't get a penny anyway.

1813
02:01:41,310 --> 02:01:42,830
He can't do that to us

1814
02:01:42,990 --> 02:01:44,190
He's in it with them.

1815
02:01:44,430 --> 02:01:47,150
Wasn't he good buddies with the boss?

1816
02:01:47,790 --> 02:01:49,070
Yeah, with the boss.

1817
02:01:49,310 --> 02:01:50,270
So he gets paid...

1818
02:01:50,510 --> 02:01:53,310
You're saying the boss paid him off?

1819
02:01:53,710 --> 02:01:56,110
Paid him not to say
he was skipping out?

1820
02:01:56,350 --> 02:01:57,710
What, that boss?

1821
02:01:57,870 --> 02:01:59,950
Do someone a favour?

1822
02:02:00,190 --> 02:02:02,350
He's too selfish for that.

1823
02:02:03,070 --> 02:02:04,750
That's right,

1824
02:02:04,910 --> 02:02:06,910
why would he help that guy,

1825
02:02:07,070 --> 02:02:09,630
and leave you in the shit?
His core workers!

1826
02:02:09,870 --> 02:02:11,390
Why would he do that?

1827
02:02:11,870 --> 02:02:14,190
- I'm not moving.
- If he wants us out

1828
02:02:14,350 --> 02:02:16,830
You stay put,
they call the cops, then what?

1829
02:02:17,310 --> 02:02:18,510
That's how it is here

1830
02:02:18,750 --> 02:02:19,790
People rat on you.

1831
02:02:20,030 --> 02:02:21,710
Then once they've got you,

1832
02:02:21,950 --> 02:02:24,750
they make you sign a statement,

1833
02:02:24,990 --> 02:02:27,550
you think that's it,
you can go.

1834
02:02:27,790 --> 02:02:31,310
- No way, they want money.
- Right, and no witnesses.

1835
02:02:33,070 --> 02:02:35,390
Happened to you once before,
didn't it?

1836
02:02:35,630 --> 02:02:39,470
You can be white as snow,
they get a false testimony,

1837
02:02:39,870 --> 02:02:41,630
and you're under arrest.

1838
02:02:42,510 --> 02:02:44,830
Someone frames you, that's it.

1839
02:02:45,070 --> 02:02:46,110
Just try getting out.

1840
02:02:46,350 --> 02:02:48,270
You pay up, it's the only way

1841
02:02:49,390 --> 02:02:52,030
- It's always money.
- But where can I go?

1842
02:02:52,590 --> 02:02:55,310
So what, we call
the others tomorrow?

1843
02:02:56,190 --> 02:02:57,230
What do you think?

1844
02:02:58,590 --> 02:02:59,390
Well,

1845
02:02:59,630 --> 02:03:01,470
we can spend the night here

1846
02:03:01,870 --> 02:03:03,070
We're all here.

1847
02:03:03,310 --> 02:03:05,470
- No we're not!
- The others have gone.

1848
02:03:05,710 --> 02:03:07,470
They may not come tomorrow.

1849
02:03:08,110 --> 02:03:10,350
At least we have some savings.

1850
02:03:11,150 --> 02:03:11,950
Savings, my arse!

1851
02:03:12,110 --> 02:03:14,430
- And my son's school fees?
- She's right.

1852
02:03:14,670 --> 02:03:16,590
We're living day to day!

1853
02:03:16,750 --> 02:03:19,870
You're newly married,
still living at home,

1854
02:03:20,110 --> 02:03:21,870
Running a household,

1855
02:03:22,110 --> 02:03:23,550
things happen,

1856
02:03:23,790 --> 02:03:25,870
expenses pile up...

1857
02:03:29,230 --> 02:03:30,670
I won't give you the details,

1858
02:03:30,910 --> 02:03:32,430
but there's nothing to spare.

1859
02:03:32,670 --> 02:03:34,830
We just earn enough to  live.

1860
02:03:35,070 --> 02:03:37,550
You stop earning, you're broke.

1861
02:03:38,270 --> 02:03:39,630
Right now, I'm worried sick.

1862
02:03:39,870 --> 02:03:42,270
Our son's still in school,

1863
02:03:42,510 --> 02:03:45,390
that's two months' expenses
from now till his vacation.

1864
02:03:45,710 --> 02:03:47,710
Where do I find the money?

1865
02:03:48,990 --> 02:03:53,230
His dad had no work this year,
he's just stuck at home.

1866
02:03:54,670 --> 02:03:56,430
New Year holiday?
Forget it,

1867
02:03:56,670 --> 02:03:58,350
With nothing coming in...

1868
02:03:58,670 --> 02:04:01,230
Some people have a bit of land...

1869
02:04:02,590 --> 02:04:05,150
We don't.
We depend on work outside.

1870
02:04:06,030 --> 02:04:07,790
You don't find work, you don't eat.

1871
02:04:09,630 --> 02:04:12,030
Same here, we don't have any land.

1872
02:04:12,510 --> 02:04:13,630
You're like us then.

1873
02:04:13,870 --> 02:04:15,790
- What?
- We're the same.

1874
02:04:16,270 --> 02:04:17,870
How? Really?

1875
02:04:18,430 --> 02:04:19,950
You're out on the street?

1876
02:04:20,190 --> 02:04:21,870
I mean
our families are similar.

1877
02:04:22,110 --> 02:04:23,070
How do you mean?

1878
02:04:23,550 --> 02:04:24,670
Similar how?

1879
02:04:24,910 --> 02:04:26,350
My pa's a farm worker.

1880
02:04:26,590 --> 02:04:28,270
- My ma, too.
- We're all the same.

1881
02:04:28,510 --> 02:04:30,830
- That's right.
- All farmers.

1882
02:04:31,550 --> 02:04:34,110
My dad has half an acre
to grow crops.

1883
02:04:35,070 --> 02:04:36,830
This year it's cotton,

1884
02:04:37,070 --> 02:04:39,230
worth 900¥ altogether.

1885
02:04:40,030 --> 02:04:43,870
That's good,
my husband is allotted

1886
02:04:44,190 --> 02:04:45,790
about a third of that

1887
02:04:46,030 --> 02:04:48,110
to feed a family of four.

1888
02:04:49,470 --> 02:04:51,310
No extra for me or the kids.

1889
02:04:51,550 --> 02:04:53,070
We've been there twenty years.

1890
02:04:53,310 --> 02:04:55,470
How can that be?

1891
02:04:55,630 --> 02:04:58,190
Where we live,
land is allotted per head.

1892
02:04:58,670 --> 02:05:01,310
- Up to an acre or so.
- I've lived in Anhui

1893
02:05:01,630 --> 02:05:03,790
over 20 years,
I still have no land.

1894
02:05:03,950 --> 02:05:06,910
Nor does my eldest,
he's 20 this year.

1895
02:05:07,470 --> 02:05:08,510
How can that be?

1896
02:05:08,750 --> 02:05:10,910
We don't have
residence status.

1897
02:05:11,070 --> 02:05:13,710
Land use law
hasn't changed in years.

1898
02:05:13,870 --> 02:05:15,870
- Decades, even.
- 50 years, I'd say.

1899
02:05:28,830 --> 02:05:30,030
Over here a bit!

1900
02:05:33,230 --> 02:05:35,710
Not ideal, one umbrella for two.

1901
02:06:25,870 --> 02:06:26,830
Who said that?

1902
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:30,945
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 61 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

1903
02:06:27,070 --> 02:06:28,430
Don't talk, just work.

1904
02:06:28,750 --> 02:06:30,030
The boss never said that.

1905
02:06:30,670 --> 02:06:32,670
All she said was,
she wants to go home.

1906
02:06:33,070 --> 02:06:35,550
To take care of her kids,
to see them again.

1907
02:06:35,870 --> 02:06:37,950
So she's going back?

1908
02:06:38,990 --> 02:06:40,760
- She wants to
- And you?

1909
02:06:41,310 --> 02:06:43,710
You say this is wrong?
Where's the mistake?

1910
02:06:43,950 --> 02:06:46,270
Right here
on the first sheet.

1911
02:06:47,070 --> 02:06:49,470
It can't be wrong.
I added these up long ago.

1912
02:06:50,910 --> 02:06:52,830
I always take cash home.

1913
02:06:52,640 --> 02:06:56,623
{\an8}HAO FANGFANG,
18, from Yatan, Anhui Province

1914
02:06:55,230 --> 02:06:57,390
Not me,
got myself a bank card.

1915
02:06:58,110 --> 02:06:59,230
Last time I took cash.

1916
02:06:59,390 --> 02:07:01,870
Once wanted to
open an account,

1917
02:07:02,030 --> 02:07:03,950
at Huishang Bank,
but they were busy.

1918
02:07:04,190 --> 02:07:04,990
I don't bother.

1919
02:07:05,230 --> 02:07:07,230
only take a few thousand home.

1920
02:07:07,950 --> 02:07:09,790
In December
went to the Post Office.

1921
02:07:09,950 --> 02:07:11,870
There's always a long line.

1922
02:07:12,110 --> 02:07:14,350
They said,
forget it, you're not 18!

1923
02:07:17,230 --> 02:07:19,230
So I never asked for a card.

1924
02:07:19,470 --> 02:07:21,950
You have to show them ID.

1925
02:07:22,110 --> 02:07:23,710
Two years ago, in the autumn,

1926
02:07:24,990 --> 02:07:28,110
my average rate was..
3.80, I think.

1927
02:07:28,670 --> 02:07:31,070
Last autumn, I was making 4.56.

1928
02:07:32,910 --> 02:07:35,310
I've always made around 3.50.

1929
02:07:36,910 --> 02:07:39,310
Last season,
it was 3.50, 3.60 or 3.70.

1930
02:07:41,550 --> 02:07:43,870
Let's see, how many pieces

1931
02:07:44,590 --> 02:07:46,110
did I make last season?

1932
02:07:46,590 --> 02:07:48,430
Can you figure it out?

1933
02:07:48,670 --> 02:07:50,590
Not that many, I didn't earn much.

1934
02:07:51,630 --> 02:07:53,790
- Were they difficult models?
- Yes.

1935
02:07:54,510 --> 02:07:56,350
Big pants sizes, 20, 28, 30.

1936
02:07:58,110 --> 02:08:00,430
I just can't do those.

1937
02:08:00,590 --> 02:08:03,550
People say girls are good
at making clothes.

1938
02:08:04,190 --> 02:08:05,790
I love sewing, actually.

1939
02:08:06,030 --> 02:08:08,510
- But this is so tiring.
- And not much money.

1940
02:08:13,870 --> 02:08:17,150
That's why can't make those
whole outfits tops and pants.

1941
02:08:18,030 --> 02:08:19,870
Some people went home yesterday.

1942
02:08:20,750 --> 02:08:21,630
Oh really?

1943
02:08:21,870 --> 02:08:23,390
Near here, in Happiness Road.

1944
02:08:23,630 --> 02:08:25,150
- Where are they from?
- Near us.

1945
02:08:25,310 --> 02:08:26,830
Let's finish,
tell him tonight.

1946
02:08:26,990 --> 02:08:29,550
Then tomorrow after lunch,
we can get paid

1947
02:08:29,790 --> 02:08:31,470
and all go home.

1948
02:08:36,750 --> 02:08:37,630
Payday tomorrow.

1949
02:08:37,790 --> 02:08:39,150
Settle up and go.

1950
02:08:39,390 --> 02:08:40,670
Do we work tomorrow?

1951
02:08:40,990 --> 02:08:42,990
- Three bundles.
- We can finish them.

1952
02:08:43,230 --> 02:08:44,510
Tomorrow?

1953
02:08:44,750 --> 02:08:46,030
And leave the next morning?

1954
02:08:46,270 --> 02:08:47,710
Not necessarily!

1955
02:08:48,910 --> 02:08:50,670
So where will you go?

1956
02:08:50,910 --> 02:08:53,310
We said we'd rest for a day,
do some shopping.

1957
02:08:54,110 --> 02:08:55,790
Any more bundles? I'm waiting.

1958
02:08:55,950 --> 02:08:58,670
No, wait till they're back.

1959
02:09:00,590 --> 02:09:02,430
Yeah, I'll talk to them.

1960
02:09:02,670 --> 02:09:04,910
I already did.

1961
02:09:05,150 --> 02:09:08,750
I'm saying, we have to do
that Saturday order.

1962
02:09:08,990 --> 02:09:10,830
I have to check it all first.

1963
02:09:11,070 --> 02:09:12,830
We can each check our own.

1964
02:09:13,070 --> 02:09:16,590
Ok, first thing tomorrow,
we'll tell them that.

1965
02:09:17,390 --> 02:09:20,270
We all want to go, take a break.

1966
02:09:24,270 --> 02:09:26,270
But we have to finish this order.

1967
02:09:42,590 --> 02:09:44,190
So work flat out.

1968
02:09:45,070 --> 02:09:47,550
Then you can rest.

1969
02:09:50,750 --> 02:09:53,230
I've lost all my pay
at cards, anyway.

1970
02:09:53,390 --> 02:09:57,150
You want to hear about
gambling and losers?

1971
02:09:58,590 --> 02:10:01,790
I once asked Lao Biao
about his mahjong place.

1972
02:10:01,950 --> 02:10:04,350
He says, sure,
send your people over.

1973
02:10:04,590 --> 02:10:07,390
So one guy bets his train fare,

1974
02:10:08,430 --> 02:10:10,510
and loses the whole wad,

1975
02:10:10,750 --> 02:10:12,670
all on one game!

1976
02:10:16,040 --> 02:10:20,015
{\an8}YANG,
from Yatan, Anhui Province

1977
02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:26,746
{\an8}SHAN.
from Yatan, Anhui Province
Husband of Yang

1978
02:10:29,950 --> 02:10:32,750
You walk in,
my needle starts jumping.

1979
02:10:34,110 --> 02:10:36,510
- Your machine works fine.
- The knotting machine!

1980
02:10:36,750 --> 02:10:38,590
It's fine.

1981
02:10:38,750 --> 02:10:40,430
Check it again.

1982
02:10:41,230 --> 02:10:43,710
You got nothing else to do, right?

1983
02:10:44,030 --> 02:10:46,270
- Right?
- It works fine.

1984
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:51,302
{\an8}RAO ZHIQIANG,
24, from Yatan, Anhui Province

1985
02:10:48,270 --> 02:10:50,110
- Hey, Yang?
- She's here.

1986
02:10:50,350 --> 02:10:52,590
I figured out what you made.

1987
02:10:53,070 --> 02:10:54,430
- So?
- I worked it out.

1988
02:10:54,670 --> 02:10:56,910
You've made 10,000.

1989
02:10:57,310 --> 02:11:00,110
I've got her money here!

1990
02:11:00,510 --> 02:11:02,350
But she's still earning, right?

1991
02:11:02,590 --> 02:11:05,470
I took what she made yesterday!

1992
02:11:05,870 --> 02:11:07,630
You're all so selfish.

1993
02:11:11,230 --> 02:11:13,470
She says she made 6000.

1994
02:11:13,630 --> 02:11:15,310
I doubt it!

1995
02:11:16,110 --> 02:11:18,750
- 5700, then?
- Right.

1996
02:11:20,750 --> 02:11:22,270
Better keep working, then.

1997
02:11:22,510 --> 02:11:23,870
Oh, sure.

1998
02:11:24,110 --> 02:11:25,310
Five seven, huh.

1999
02:11:25,550 --> 02:11:26,670
Hey man,

2000
02:11:26,910 --> 02:11:29,150
we can earn more,
we've still got 14 bundles.

2001
02:11:29,390 --> 02:11:32,110
That's not much
when you share it out.

2002
02:11:32,350 --> 02:11:33,950
Well, it would be.

2003
02:11:34,350 --> 02:11:36,350
At last year's rates, dummy.

2004
02:11:41,870 --> 02:11:43,870
Yang! I need to talk to you.

2005
02:11:45,310 --> 02:11:46,430
Hey, Yang!

2006
02:11:46,590 --> 02:11:48,190
Remember those two
who changed shops?

2007
02:11:48,430 --> 02:11:51,070
He was making pants,
she was doing tops.

2008
02:11:51,310 --> 02:11:53,470
She couldn't handle the pants.

2009
02:11:53,870 --> 02:11:55,950
So he came to see her,

2010
02:11:56,190 --> 02:11:58,430
and they both went upstairs.

2011
02:11:58,670 --> 02:12:00,030
So someone says,

2012
02:12:00,430 --> 02:12:02,510
"That young couple,

2013
02:12:02,830 --> 02:12:04,350
they're upstairs."

2014
02:12:04,510 --> 02:12:06,190
She tells everyone
they're in bed together

2015
02:12:06,350 --> 02:12:09,390
all alone in the women's dorm!

2016
02:12:09,630 --> 02:12:12,430
Said she went up,
took one look, omigod!

2017
02:12:12,750 --> 02:12:15,550
Just dropped everything and ran!

2018
02:12:56,750 --> 02:13:00,350
Shit, Fatty downstairs says
go check your accounts.

2019
02:13:00,990 --> 02:13:02,430
Better go down then.

2020
02:13:02,670 --> 02:13:03,870
Check our numbers.

2021
02:13:04,270 --> 02:13:05,470
I have to cook now.

2022
02:13:05,630 --> 02:13:07,150
So who signs off for you?

2023
02:13:07,310 --> 02:13:08,830
Maybe you could?

2024
02:13:16,110 --> 02:13:17,230
Just leave it.

2025
02:13:18,270 --> 02:13:19,950
Bring me some paper.

2026
02:13:21,470 --> 02:13:22,430
Are you good?

2027
02:13:22,670 --> 02:13:23,950
Yes.

2028
02:13:23,950 --> 02:13:26,270
I've sorted all that stuff.

2029
02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:35,743
{\an8}JIN QUANBING,
19, from Huaining, Anhui Province

2030
02:13:49,630 --> 02:13:51,230
- Hey, slow down!
- Move!

2031
02:13:51,550 --> 02:13:53,230
Nearly knocked me over...

2032
02:13:53,470 --> 02:13:55,390
Trying to fly, are you?

2033
02:13:55,950 --> 02:13:58,430
You've brought down
the reworked pieces,

2034
02:13:58,590 --> 02:14:01,390
that's very good.

2035
02:14:02,750 --> 02:14:04,430
- Is the boss still there?
- Yes.

2036
02:14:04,670 --> 02:14:05,790
I'll explain.

2037
02:14:10,750 --> 02:14:13,550
Right, so minimum piece rate 3.20.

2038
02:14:14,670 --> 02:14:16,350
I think we can do...

2039
02:14:16,910 --> 02:14:19,310
3.50 for the unlined pants.

2040
02:14:19,470 --> 02:14:21,710
For cotton-lined pants, 3.80.

2041
02:14:21,870 --> 02:14:24,190
Can we agree on 4?

2042
02:14:25,390 --> 02:14:26,750
How about 3.50 and 4.20?

2043
02:14:27,150 --> 02:14:28,910
No, for the padded pants, 3.80.

2044
02:14:29,870 --> 02:14:31,150
Since you wanted 4.20,

2045
02:14:31,390 --> 02:14:34,190
can add 50c on the long pants.

2046
02:14:35,630 --> 02:14:37,630
Some pants are shorter,

2047
02:14:37,790 --> 02:14:39,630
so let's say,

2048
02:14:39,790 --> 02:14:41,310
an average of
3¥ a piece.

2049
02:14:41,550 --> 02:14:43,630
But what about the long pants?

2050
02:14:44,350 --> 02:14:46,750
Only 3.80 for long pants?

2051
02:14:47,550 --> 02:14:49,390
Well, you still have to

2052
02:14:49,550 --> 02:14:52,030
count up the pieces
and show me the list.

2053
02:14:52,270 --> 02:14:53,390
Then we'll see

2054
02:14:53,870 --> 02:14:56,270
- Right, let's go.
- Show me the  totals.

2055
02:14:56,590 --> 02:14:57,790
You do that first,

2056
02:14:58,030 --> 02:15:00,830
add up the numbers,
then we'll talk rates.

2057
02:15:01,150 --> 02:15:03,710
Let's try for a good rate.

2058
02:15:20,270 --> 02:15:22,030
So 3.80 for all plain pants?

2059
02:15:22,190 --> 02:15:23,790
I'm saying 3.80
for lined pants.

2060
02:15:24,030 --> 02:15:26,030
What was the old rate
for the plain ones?

2061
02:15:26,270 --> 02:15:28,430
And 4.20 for the padded jeans?

2062
02:15:28,670 --> 02:15:29,950
That's right.

2063
02:15:30,110 --> 02:15:33,390
It's only a small run.

2064
02:15:33,950 --> 02:15:36,270
Why not raise the rate for the jeans?

2065
02:15:36,510 --> 02:15:37,550
What?

2066
02:15:37,790 --> 02:15:40,430
These new ones are different.

2067
02:15:40,590 --> 02:15:42,910
They're not like the plain ones.

2068
02:15:43,070 --> 02:15:44,750
These are no-logo goods,

2069
02:15:44,910 --> 02:15:46,670
so it's different.

2070
02:15:46,990 --> 02:15:49,070
We can't base it
on the cat-pattern ones,

2071
02:15:49,390 --> 02:15:51,150
we make very few of those,

2072
02:15:51,550 --> 02:15:54,270
maybe a hundred at most.

2073
02:15:55,230 --> 02:15:57,230
It's a very limited run.

2074
02:15:57,470 --> 02:15:59,950
If we accept a rate
based on this model,

2075
02:16:00,190 --> 02:16:01,470
we'll all starve!

2076
02:16:01,630 --> 02:16:03,070
So based on what?

2077
02:16:03,390 --> 02:16:04,590
Let's talk it through.

2078
02:16:04,830 --> 02:16:06,350
Ask for 20c more on these.

2079
02:16:06,590 --> 02:16:07,710
20 cents.

2080
02:16:07,870 --> 02:16:10,190
- On all pants then?
- Right, add 20 cents.

2081
02:16:10,430 --> 02:16:12,830
A bit more for the
lined three-quarter pants.

2082
02:16:13,070 --> 02:16:14,110
That's mys suggestion.

2083
02:16:14,270 --> 02:16:15,470
This one needs to go up.

2084
02:16:15,710 --> 02:16:17,150
You can try,
you won't get it.

2085
02:16:17,310 --> 02:16:18,750
That's what I'm aiming for.

2086
02:16:18,990 --> 02:16:20,110
Well, I say,

2087
02:16:20,350 --> 02:16:22,590
if you can get him
to boost this one,

2088
02:16:22,750 --> 02:16:24,350
good for you, but I doubt it.

2089
02:16:24,670 --> 02:16:26,030
- We'll see
- Go for it.

2090
02:16:26,190 --> 02:16:27,310
Good luck.

2091
02:16:27,470 --> 02:16:30,830
Yeah, try to get that.
That's our best chance.

2092
02:16:31,150 --> 02:16:33,870
Ok, show him this list.

2093
02:16:35,470 --> 02:16:37,150
- That should do it.
- Right.

2094
02:16:37,390 --> 02:16:39,230
Just say we've all agreed.

2095
02:16:39,470 --> 02:16:41,310
Come along,
we should all go together.

2096
02:16:41,550 --> 02:16:43,390
Ok, let's go.

2097
02:16:46,190 --> 02:16:48,350
He's offered us nothing so far.

2098
02:16:48,590 --> 02:16:49,630
Too damn right.

2099
02:16:49,870 --> 02:16:51,790
Hey, Uncle, come with us.

2100
02:16:53,710 --> 02:16:55,630
We should all go together.

2101
02:16:55,870 --> 02:16:57,870
You're offering 3.80
for lined pants.

2102
02:16:58,030 --> 02:16:59,710
was making those last year.

2103
02:16:59,950 --> 02:17:01,550
Different shop, similar models,

2104
02:17:01,710 --> 02:17:03,230
but easier to make than yours,

2105
02:17:03,470 --> 02:17:05,150
and they were paying 4.80.

2106
02:17:05,390 --> 02:17:07,470
We're not asking for that,
just a bit more.

2107
02:17:07,710 --> 02:17:09,150
But 3.80 is just too low.

2108
02:17:09,390 --> 02:17:13,550
Across the road at no. 68,
they're paying 4.20.

2109
02:17:13,710 --> 02:17:16,510
Don't use them as an example.

2110
02:17:16,830 --> 02:17:20,590
But they make a bigger model
and only pay 4.20!

2111
02:17:20,830 --> 02:17:22,350
Some shops pay 4.50.

2112
02:17:22,510 --> 02:17:24,830
They've always made plain pants.

2113
02:17:25,150 --> 02:17:27,550
Rates can be 5 or 6¥,
you can't compare

2114
02:17:27,710 --> 02:17:29,310
10¥, even.

2115
02:17:30,830 --> 02:17:32,430
Just focus on this shop!

2116
02:17:32,670 --> 02:17:34,190
- You can't compare.
- Exactly.

2117
02:17:34,350 --> 02:17:36,670
Well, I still pay 3.50!

2118
02:17:36,910 --> 02:17:39,310
- And last year?
- 3.55, wasn't it?

2119
02:17:39,550 --> 02:17:41,630
What did you pay last year?

2120
02:17:43,470 --> 02:17:45,710
Go ask the other shops.

2121
02:17:45,950 --> 02:17:48,590
Over there, at no. 67, for example.

2122
02:17:48,750 --> 02:17:51,550
They've all settled at 3.20
and gone home.

2123
02:17:51,870 --> 02:17:53,630
Plain and cotton-lined
are different.

2124
02:17:53,870 --> 02:17:56,590
Don't bother comparing
with last year.

2125
02:17:56,750 --> 02:17:58,990
If I raise this one,
it comes out the same.

2126
02:17:59,230 --> 02:18:02,670
I still only get 800 or so,
not even 900¥.

2127
02:18:03,230 --> 02:18:06,190
By your calculation,
it would be over 4¥ a piece.

2128
02:18:06,430 --> 02:18:08,270
That's right.

2129
02:18:08,510 --> 02:18:10,350
- No chance.
- I make it 4¥ too.

2130
02:18:10,590 --> 02:18:14,030
I worked this out based on
a raise on the lined pants,

2131
02:18:14,270 --> 02:18:16,510
but nothing on the plain, not a cent.

2132
02:18:16,910 --> 02:18:18,030
As you asked me.

2133
02:18:18,190 --> 02:18:20,110
If you just add 30c on the lined,

2134
02:18:20,350 --> 02:18:21,630
up from 3.80 to 4.10,

2135
02:18:21,870 --> 02:18:22,830
it works out.

2136
02:18:23,630 --> 02:18:25,310
Take it down to him.

2137
02:18:25,550 --> 02:18:26,670
So what are we saying?

2138
02:18:26,830 --> 02:18:29,390
Just 30c more on the lined ones.

2139
02:18:29,630 --> 02:18:32,190
- Cotton-lined?
- He said 3.80, that's 30c more.

2140
02:18:32,510 --> 02:18:34,110
So that's the only increase.

2141
02:18:36,670 --> 02:18:37,790
As far as I can see.

2142
02:18:37,950 --> 02:18:39,790
Let's see if they'll agree.

2143
02:18:40,190 --> 02:18:42,350
We want the average
of all 68 models,

2144
02:18:42,510 --> 02:18:44,430
that's 3.85.

2145
02:18:48,350 --> 02:18:49,950
That's what
we tell the bosses.

2146
02:18:50,190 --> 02:18:52,670
We're talking about an average rate,

2147
02:18:52,910 --> 02:18:54,350
of all models, but they say,

2148
02:18:54,590 --> 02:18:57,310
except for the new plain pants.

2149
02:18:57,470 --> 02:18:58,590
Now what they want

2150
02:18:58,830 --> 02:19:01,550
is to count these
new pants separately.

2151
02:19:01,790 --> 02:19:03,710
But we don't know yet

2152
02:19:03,950 --> 02:19:06,190
what's going to happen.

2153
02:19:07,630 --> 02:19:08,990
What the hell?

2154
02:19:09,150 --> 02:19:10,430
Are you kidding me?

2155
02:19:10,670 --> 02:19:12,030
Forget them for a second.

2156
02:19:12,270 --> 02:19:14,990
It's your shop,
you pay them what you like.

2157
02:19:15,150 --> 02:19:17,630
But I've worked here for years.

2158
02:19:17,870 --> 02:19:20,350
You've been paying me 3.85.

2159
02:19:21,150 --> 02:19:24,030
On the average. And that's fine.

2160
02:19:25,950 --> 02:19:27,710
So what are you thinking?

2161
02:19:27,950 --> 02:19:30,590
That this stuff is easy to make?
Ask any tailor.

2162
02:19:30,750 --> 02:19:34,110
Last year's models or this year's,
see what he says.

2163
02:19:34,430 --> 02:19:36,510
It's unacceptable.

2164
02:19:36,750 --> 02:19:39,150
Whichever way you cut it.

2165
02:19:39,390 --> 02:19:40,910
Unbelievable.

2166
02:19:42,510 --> 02:19:44,510
It's late, let's call it a day.

2167
02:19:46,750 --> 02:19:49,070
He says you're asking too much.

2168
02:19:49,390 --> 02:19:51,310
I can't accept that.

2169
02:19:55,550 --> 02:19:56,910
He won't raise any rates.

2170
02:19:57,150 --> 02:19:58,270
No way, he says.

2171
02:20:07,070 --> 02:20:08,830
Jin Feng, I need a word.

2172
02:20:09,310 --> 02:20:10,990
The list hasn't changed, right?

2173
02:20:12,270 --> 02:20:15,150
But the numbers have to.

2174
02:20:15,950 --> 02:20:17,470
Look at this one, 4¥.

2175
02:20:17,630 --> 02:20:18,590
Which one?

2176
02:20:19,310 --> 02:20:21,550
This one, the cotton-lined pants?

2177
02:20:21,790 --> 02:20:23,070
Let me see...

2178
02:20:23,310 --> 02:20:24,990
Say 3.60 for the first model.

2179
02:20:25,230 --> 02:20:26,110
- 3.60.
- Right.

2180
02:20:26,350 --> 02:20:27,470
4¥ for this one

2181
02:20:27,710 --> 02:20:29,390
But they said no to all four!

2182
02:20:29,550 --> 02:20:30,270
Who did?

2183
02:20:30,510 --> 02:20:33,150
Uncle Shan, and that group
from the same village.

2184
02:20:33,310 --> 02:20:35,950
Shan wants an
average rate of 3.80.

2185
02:20:36,110 --> 02:20:40,990
He asked me to figure out
how to get it to 3.80.

2186
02:20:41,230 --> 02:20:42,190
So let's say

2187
02:20:42,350 --> 02:20:45,230
cotton-lined pants, 4.20.

2188
02:20:45,870 --> 02:20:47,310
That's what he suggested.

2189
02:20:47,550 --> 02:20:48,670
Now he says no.

2190
02:20:48,910 --> 02:20:49,790
Let's go through it.

2191
02:20:50,030 --> 02:20:52,030
By your calculation,
I get 3000 less.

2192
02:20:52,190 --> 02:20:54,510
Take last year's production,

2193
02:20:55,070 --> 02:20:57,950
plain and lined pants,
overalls and jeans.

2194
02:20:58,110 --> 02:20:59,390
Add it all up,

2195
02:20:59,550 --> 02:21:02,510
you get an average
piece rate of 3.95.

2196
02:21:03,070 --> 02:21:05,790
By your count, it's 3000 short.

2197
02:21:06,030 --> 02:21:07,150
They won't accept it.

2198
02:21:07,310 --> 02:21:10,030
We're not criticizing you,

2199
02:21:10,270 --> 02:21:12,030
but this way
get paid 2000 less.

2200
02:21:12,190 --> 02:21:14,830
I won't even make 20,000
on the season.

2201
02:21:14,990 --> 02:21:17,150
You offer 3.4 or 3.5,
which isn't enough.

2202
02:21:17,310 --> 02:21:20,270
And if they think you just
want to be off home first,

2203
02:21:20,510 --> 02:21:22,910
they won't accept it.

2204
02:21:23,070 --> 02:21:25,550
How about we ask for 3.88?

2205
02:21:25,790 --> 02:21:27,070
Yeah, why not.

2206
02:21:27,230 --> 02:21:30,270
I'll work out what Uncle gets
at a rate of 3.88.

2207
02:21:30,510 --> 02:21:31,710
Yeah, that should do it.

2208
02:21:31,950 --> 02:21:33,230
Let's work it out.

2209
02:21:33,470 --> 02:21:34,830
Well, in that case...

2210
02:21:35,070 --> 02:21:37,150
Quiet, let them talk!

2211
02:21:37,390 --> 02:21:39,710
Ten cents less is ten cents less.

2212
02:21:39,950 --> 02:21:41,950
When you cut the cloth,
does it look easy?

2213
02:21:42,190 --> 02:21:45,390
Look, this isn't a bad rate.

2214
02:21:45,550 --> 02:21:48,030
Try getting 3.85 in Qisheng Road.

2215
02:21:48,190 --> 02:21:49,950
- You can't compare.
- Go ask them.

2216
02:21:50,190 --> 02:21:52,830
- We're making lined pants!
- But not 4¥ quality.

2217
02:21:53,070 --> 02:21:55,230
You can't compare those to ours.

2218
02:21:55,390 --> 02:21:56,350
You go on and on,

2219
02:21:56,590 --> 02:21:58,910
but some pay 3.70, some pay 3.50,

2220
02:21:59,150 --> 02:22:00,910
or even 3.20.

2221
02:22:01,070 --> 02:22:02,430
So 3.85 is a top rate!

2222
02:22:02,670 --> 02:22:03,790
What more do you want?

2223
02:22:04,110 --> 02:22:05,470
Beats me.

2224
02:22:05,870 --> 02:22:07,070
You mean 3.85?

2225
02:22:07,310 --> 02:22:08,910
If you can't accept that,
too bad.

2226
02:22:09,150 --> 02:22:11,390
Let's see what it comes to

2227
02:22:11,710 --> 02:22:12,910
for 50c more.

2228
02:22:16,510 --> 02:22:17,470
- Uncle!
- What?

2229
02:22:17,710 --> 02:22:19,310
What do you say to this 3.85?

2230
02:22:19,470 --> 02:22:21,470
They can't do that.

2231
02:22:21,710 --> 02:22:23,870
- Right.
- No way.

2232
02:22:24,110 --> 02:22:25,710
Go down and tell them.

2233
02:22:26,350 --> 02:22:28,030
What are they thinking?

2234
02:22:29,710 --> 02:22:32,430
Look, I order these
from the finishing shop.

2235
02:22:32,990 --> 02:22:35,550
Similar to what we make here.

2236
02:22:35,790 --> 02:22:38,510
All at around 3 to 4¥.

2237
02:22:41,790 --> 02:22:43,150
Call them down to settle up.

2238
02:22:44,110 --> 02:22:45,470
Where?

2239
02:22:45,950 --> 02:22:47,550
Same method, anyway.

2240
02:22:48,030 --> 02:22:48,990
At 3.95?

2241
02:22:49,230 --> 02:22:50,590
What? No, no, 4¥.

2242
02:22:50,750 --> 02:22:52,990
- Let's do it.
- Get it done.

2243
02:22:53,230 --> 02:22:55,390
So 4 for the lined pants?
And the rest?

2244
02:22:55,630 --> 02:22:57,790
The lined pants were 3.50 before.

2245
02:22:58,110 --> 02:22:59,070
Ok, deal.

2246
02:22:59,230 --> 02:23:00,430
We can get 3.80.

2247
02:23:00,670 --> 02:23:03,070
Ah, forget it, let's do it.

2248
02:23:03,310 --> 02:23:04,750
You got him to add 50c?

2249
02:23:04,910 --> 02:23:06,190
Yup.

2250
02:23:07,710 --> 02:23:10,270
- Raised by 5 cents.
- Oh, great!

2251
02:23:10,910 --> 02:23:12,190
4 for cotton-lined pants.

2252
02:23:12,350 --> 02:23:13,630
It's the same.

2253
02:23:16,590 --> 02:23:18,270
We recalculated.

2254
02:23:18,430 --> 02:23:20,270
Fine, ok.

2255
02:23:20,590 --> 02:23:22,990
- Enough!
- Ok, come on!

2256
02:23:23,950 --> 02:23:25,790
Forget it.

2257
02:23:26,270 --> 02:23:27,870
He just added 20c
on cotton pants.

2258
02:23:28,110 --> 02:23:29,870
Yeah, that's it.

2259
02:23:30,430 --> 02:23:32,750
So let's just do it that way.

2260
02:23:34,030 --> 02:23:36,190
Tell us what we get, us two.

2261
02:23:36,910 --> 02:23:38,590
What about Youyou?

2262
02:23:38,910 --> 02:23:40,590
Youyou's amount is correct.

2263
02:23:42,670 --> 02:23:44,110
You can go and eat now.

2264
02:23:45,150 --> 02:23:46,430
That's it, all paid out.

2265
02:23:47,070 --> 02:23:49,710
I haven't even counted it.

2266
02:23:55,870 --> 02:23:57,710
Better count it.

2267
02:23:59,070 --> 02:24:00,990
I had an advance, so let's check.

2268
02:24:01,550 --> 02:24:03,150
How much have you got there?

2269
02:24:03,870 --> 02:24:06,830
This is the receipt for her advance.

2270
02:24:08,030 --> 02:24:09,710
It was 7,380.

2271
02:24:11,630 --> 02:24:14,030
I'm spending the new bills first!

2272
02:24:17,390 --> 02:24:19,230
Hey, he hit me!

2273
02:24:19,470 --> 02:24:20,590
Have you been payed?

2274
02:24:20,830 --> 02:24:22,830
Sure we have.

2275
02:24:38,880 --> 02:24:42,867
{\an8}JIN CHENGZHI,
21, from Huaining, Anhui Province

2276
02:24:39,950 --> 02:24:41,150
He grabbed all the cash!

2277
02:24:41,390 --> 02:24:43,310
At least give me some for shopping.

2278
02:24:43,470 --> 02:24:44,670
No problem.

2279
02:24:47,710 --> 02:24:50,270
I have to work out my total pay.

2280
02:24:58,190 --> 02:25:00,110
Around 30,000 plus.

2281
02:25:00,350 --> 02:25:02,430
- So 31,000?
- Or a little bit more.

2282
02:25:02,750 --> 02:25:04,190
31k left.
I took a 2-3k advance.

2283
02:25:05,310 --> 02:25:07,310
Just have to avoid gambling.

2284
02:25:07,550 --> 02:25:08,670
So, roughly,

2285
02:25:09,790 --> 02:25:12,670
what's your total, finally?

2286
02:25:12,910 --> 02:25:14,910
Must be... 38,600.

2287
02:25:15,070 --> 02:25:16,430
And Xiao Yun?

2288
02:25:16,670 --> 02:25:18,910
He got 27,000.

2289
02:25:20,910 --> 02:25:22,990
10k down from last year, at least.

2290
02:25:23,310 --> 02:25:24,830
Bound to be, you changed shop.

2291
02:25:24,990 --> 02:25:26,350
Sixty thousand.

2292
02:25:26,910 --> 02:25:28,990
Coming back after New Year?

2293
02:25:29,870 --> 02:25:31,630
Not to this shop.

2294
02:25:36,670 --> 02:25:37,790
Up at 5 tomorrow, then?

2295
02:25:38,030 --> 02:25:39,870
Right, to leave by 9.

2296
02:25:40,910 --> 02:25:41,950
Better not oversleep.

2297
02:25:42,190 --> 02:25:43,630
- Right.
- Too damn early.

2298
02:25:43,790 --> 02:25:45,790
- Better make it 4.
- Right.

2299
02:25:45,950 --> 02:25:47,710
I'll never make it.

2300
02:25:51,230 --> 02:25:53,390
Shan! Hey, Shan!

2301
02:25:53,950 --> 02:25:56,510
Bring the bags, we need to pack.

2302
02:26:32,750 --> 02:26:35,550
- There's a loader over there.
- Eh?

2303
02:26:43,550 --> 02:26:45,230
Load this stuff up.

2304
02:26:47,550 --> 02:26:49,150
I'm not going, he'll take it.

2305
02:26:49,470 --> 02:26:50,750
What's the hurry?

2306
02:26:50,910 --> 02:26:52,590
I just had some time today.

2307
02:26:52,830 --> 02:26:55,630
Leave it at my place,
pick it up when you come back.

2308
02:26:55,870 --> 02:26:56,590
That's it.

2309
02:26:56,830 --> 02:26:59,310
I'll be working
somewhere else next year.

2310
02:26:59,470 --> 02:27:00,830
I'm not coming with you.

2311
02:27:02,030 --> 02:27:03,550
Did I forget the key?

2312
02:27:03,710 --> 02:27:04,750
Do we have the key?

2313
02:27:04,990 --> 02:27:06,590
Let me check.

2314
02:27:07,790 --> 02:27:09,150
Here it is.

2315
02:27:11,470 --> 02:27:13,390
Make sure you
store the stuff safely!

2316
02:27:13,630 --> 02:27:16,190
Xiao Gu! Call Chen Ping!

2317
02:27:17,150 --> 02:27:18,990
Hey! Damn, I need the bucket...

2318
02:27:19,150 --> 02:27:20,670
That's the place!

2319
02:27:21,230 --> 02:27:22,830
Tell him to pull over!

2320
02:27:23,870 --> 02:27:25,070
Stop!

2321
02:27:25,470 --> 02:27:26,990
Now you can unload!

2322
02:27:45,760 --> 02:27:49,733
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 80 XISHENG ROAD, ZHILI

2323
02:27:52,270 --> 02:27:55,630
- Yu Hua got an order.
- Two bundles left, though.

2324
02:27:54,080 --> 02:27:58,056
{\an8}CHEN WENJUAN,
20, from Anqing, Anhui Province

2325
02:27:56,030 --> 02:27:57,950
- Hear me?
- Two bundles left.

2326
02:27:58,190 --> 02:28:00,430
So? I've got enough
here, no rush.

2327
02:28:00,590 --> 02:28:02,830
- Will your hands survive?
- Eh?

2328
02:28:03,070 --> 02:28:05,950
- Until New Year.
- I may stop before then.

2329
02:28:06,430 --> 02:28:08,430
But you guys can get rich.

2330
02:28:08,830 --> 02:28:09,710
Uh-oh...

2331
02:28:09,950 --> 02:28:11,310
Did it lock-stitch you?

2332
02:28:11,550 --> 02:28:13,630
- No, it just grazed me.
- You're fast.

2333
02:28:14,110 --> 02:28:16,190
How come you didn't cry out?

2334
02:28:19,630 --> 02:28:21,710
Most people would yell.

2335
02:28:22,030 --> 02:28:23,470
Let yourself go.

2336
02:28:24,030 --> 02:28:25,550
Dream on.

2337
02:28:25,710 --> 02:28:27,950
It's true, you'll feel better.

2338
02:28:45,390 --> 02:28:47,550
I'm telling the truth!

2339
02:29:18,510 --> 02:29:21,390
I'm too old to study, anyway.

2340
02:29:22,110 --> 02:29:26,190
If you start young and practice,
you keep that skill for life.

2341
02:29:27,070 --> 02:29:29,950
We wouldn't have to
work here, trust me.

2342
02:29:30,110 --> 02:29:31,710
never really liked studying.

2343
02:29:31,950 --> 02:29:34,190
Keep at it, it'll come naturally.

2344
02:29:34,430 --> 02:29:37,870
- I don't think I can.
- It's just practice.

2345
02:29:38,910 --> 02:29:41,550
What do you think he wants?

2346
02:29:42,510 --> 02:29:44,430
Just say it to yourself:

2347
02:29:44,670 --> 02:29:46,350
"I'd love to go to your place."

2348
02:29:46,590 --> 02:29:48,430
"Sure, let's go to my place."

2349
02:29:48,670 --> 02:29:51,470
"Glad to, why not?"

2350
02:29:54,910 --> 02:29:57,390
"But should I trust you?"

2351
02:30:05,230 --> 02:30:07,950
Is Yu Hua coming to pick you up?

2352
02:30:08,110 --> 02:30:10,430
Taking you out for a drink?

2353
02:30:10,910 --> 02:30:12,990
He's a generous guy.

2354
02:30:13,710 --> 02:30:15,870
So he's inviting you both out?

2355
02:30:16,590 --> 02:30:18,430
Ah, Ming Ming...

2356
02:30:18,990 --> 02:30:22,030
What kind of girl falls for that?

2357
02:30:22,350 --> 02:30:24,030
Moment of truth!

2358
02:30:25,470 --> 02:30:28,430
Your sister went home twice for you!

2359
02:30:38,990 --> 02:30:40,590
If he's sincere, sure I'll go.

2360
02:30:40,750 --> 02:30:43,470
- So you're going.
- If he's good to me, why not?

2361
02:30:43,630 --> 02:30:45,870
- Be honest, now.
- Yeah, come on.

2362
02:30:46,110 --> 02:30:48,670
- Everyone loves a spender.
- Yeah, it's tough.

2363
02:30:48,830 --> 02:30:51,630
Have money, get girl.
No money, no life.

2364
02:30:52,670 --> 02:30:55,790
Now you're talking, Romeo.

2365
02:30:56,030 --> 02:30:57,230
Telling it like it is.

2366
02:30:57,390 --> 02:30:59,870
And relax, I'm not after you.

2367
02:31:38,270 --> 02:31:40,030
Your nails are very long.

2368
02:31:40,830 --> 02:31:42,350
Painful.

2369
02:31:42,910 --> 02:31:45,790
But my hand still hurts.

2370
02:31:48,750 --> 02:31:51,390
So who will be Yu Hua's date?

2371
02:31:52,270 --> 02:31:54,750
Can't trust that guy,
he's slippery.

2372
02:31:54,640 --> 02:31:58,624
{\an8}CHEN XUIWANG
45, from Anqing, Anhui Province
Father of Chen Wenjuan

2373
02:31:54,990 --> 02:31:56,430
No way I'll go.

2374
02:31:57,950 --> 02:32:00,350
Forget it, last time he stood me up.

2375
02:32:00,590 --> 02:32:02,670
This hand is a nuisance.

2376
02:32:02,910 --> 02:32:04,030
You have to keep it dry.

2377
02:32:04,270 --> 02:32:06,350
Give me your washing to do.

2378
02:32:06,590 --> 02:32:08,590
- I'll wash your clothes.
- Whatever.

2379
02:32:08,830 --> 02:32:10,430
But can you pay the doctor?

2380
02:32:10,670 --> 02:32:11,870
I have to pay?

2381
02:32:13,950 --> 02:32:16,990
Don't tease me, you'll be sorry.

2382
02:32:19,150 --> 02:32:20,510
It'll cost you at least 500.

2383
02:32:20,750 --> 02:32:22,110
Off we go then, to A & E.

2384
02:32:22,350 --> 02:32:23,630
We can hitch-hike.

2385
02:32:24,590 --> 02:32:25,870
Cheaper than a taxi.

2386
02:32:29,550 --> 02:32:30,990
Figure out your pay?

2387
02:32:31,230 --> 02:32:33,070
- How much?
- 14,000 plus.

2388
02:32:34,110 --> 02:32:35,870
Let's hope you make that.

2389
02:32:34,920 --> 02:32:38,900
{\an8}CHEN DINGHUA,
45, from Anqing, Anhui Province
Mother of Chen Wenjuan

2390
02:32:36,030 --> 02:32:37,390
doubt it, though.

2391
02:32:37,630 --> 02:32:39,950
I used to work with these two.

2392
02:32:40,270 --> 02:32:42,190
Are they from the old workshop?

2393
02:32:42,350 --> 02:32:44,270
- That's not it.
- It's Dong Wei.

2394
02:32:44,430 --> 02:32:45,470
Let me explain.

2395
02:32:45,630 --> 02:32:46,910
It's not that I'm slow.

2396
02:32:47,070 --> 02:32:50,110
- It's just that he's faster!
- He hardly breaks for supper.

2397
02:32:50,350 --> 02:32:51,230
You joker!

2398
02:32:51,470 --> 02:32:53,390
Some people can make
14 or 15,000,

2399
02:32:53,630 --> 02:32:55,870
some do less, it's no big thing.

2400
02:32:56,030 --> 02:32:58,350
- That's right.
- Not worth arguing about.

2401
02:32:58,590 --> 02:33:00,110
A bit more, a bit less.

2402
02:33:00,350 --> 02:33:03,310
Work less, spend less
on food and clothes.

2403
02:33:03,470 --> 02:33:05,150
Simple as that.

2404
02:33:05,390 --> 02:33:06,750
That's a good attitude.

2405
02:33:06,990 --> 02:33:08,990
We could have agreed,
I'm just saying.

2406
02:33:09,150 --> 02:33:12,030
- Some like to work late.
- Earn more, spend more, so what.

2407
02:33:12,270 --> 02:33:14,350
Up to you,
if you want to consume,

2408
02:33:14,590 --> 02:33:16,670
or work less and be thrifty.

2409
02:33:16,910 --> 02:33:18,510
That's how I see it.

2410
02:33:18,750 --> 02:33:20,670
- We can all choose.
- Exactly!

2411
02:33:20,990 --> 02:33:23,390
- You got that right.
- So spend less!

2412
02:33:23,550 --> 02:33:24,590
That's the truth!

2413
02:33:24,830 --> 02:33:26,110
Why so desperate?

2414
02:33:26,350 --> 02:33:28,110
- "Why?"
- Turn it off, relax.

2415
02:33:28,350 --> 02:33:29,950
Why do you think?

2416
02:33:30,270 --> 02:33:31,550
It's unbearable.

2417
02:33:30,280 --> 02:33:34,264
{\an8}CAO DEYIN,
26, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

2418
02:33:32,190 --> 02:33:33,870
- Just cool it.
- I have to finish.

2419
02:33:34,110 --> 02:33:36,430
- Take a break!
- So I can go shopping

2420
02:33:36,590 --> 02:33:38,110
Just go, then!

2421
02:33:37,720 --> 02:33:41,704
{\an8}JIN WENLONG,
46, from Anqing, Anhui Province
Manager's uncle

2422
02:33:38,750 --> 02:33:40,270
Will you let me
finish or not?

2423
02:33:40,510 --> 02:33:43,150
- Go shopping!
- And you'll finish for me?

2424
02:33:43,390 --> 02:33:44,670
Don't you worry.

2425
02:33:47,950 --> 02:33:50,030
Who works like that?

2426
02:33:50,590 --> 02:33:52,510
Dumb kid. Go and play!

2427
02:33:56,270 --> 02:33:58,110
I've hardly done anything today.

2428
02:33:58,350 --> 02:34:00,350
You think I don't want to work?

2429
02:34:00,590 --> 02:34:01,630
Can't you stop?

2430
02:34:01,950 --> 02:34:03,310
You want to join him?

2431
02:34:04,030 --> 02:34:05,790
It'll take you 10 days!

2432
02:34:06,030 --> 02:34:07,710
You'll never get away
for New Year!

2433
02:34:08,190 --> 02:34:10,190
There's too much work left.

2434
02:34:11,070 --> 02:34:14,030
I'll have a word with the boss.

2435
02:34:14,270 --> 02:34:15,470
Right. When?

2436
02:34:15,630 --> 02:34:17,150
Today.

2437
02:34:17,390 --> 02:34:20,590
So no point in rushing,
Dong Wei.

2438
02:34:22,910 --> 02:34:25,390
- You hear me?
- So I just leave these here?

2439
02:34:25,630 --> 02:34:26,990
Scram! Get out of here!

2440
02:34:27,230 --> 02:34:28,990
- What you say goes?
- Scram!

2441
02:34:29,390 --> 02:34:30,830
- Move!
- Whatever you say.

2442
02:34:31,790 --> 02:34:32,110
Go!

2443
02:34:34,350 --> 02:34:36,590
Work by yourself, who cares?

2444
02:34:36,830 --> 02:34:37,950
Just you here alone.

2445
02:34:38,190 --> 02:34:39,230
I'm done.

2446
02:34:39,470 --> 02:34:41,150
Oh, you're not working?

2447
02:34:41,390 --> 02:34:42,910
I'm packing up here!

2448
02:34:43,070 --> 02:34:44,190
Go on, then.

2449
02:34:44,350 --> 02:34:46,030
Let him.
We still have to work.

2450
02:34:46,270 --> 02:34:48,190
Do one bundle, who cares.

2451
02:34:48,430 --> 02:34:48,990
Get to it.

2452
02:34:50,670 --> 02:34:53,070
- Let's go talk to the boss.
- Are you off?

2453
02:34:53,230 --> 02:34:54,430
Forget him, let's go.

2454
02:34:54,750 --> 02:34:57,710
- Hey! You're really going?
- Seems he is.

2455
02:34:59,790 --> 02:35:01,710
Come on,
let's all go down.

2456
02:35:18,350 --> 02:35:19,790
What's up?

2457
02:35:20,270 --> 02:35:21,790
Where are you off to?

2458
02:35:22,030 --> 02:35:23,470
Finished your chat?

2459
02:35:24,670 --> 02:35:27,070
Dong Wei says
he wants to stop now!

2460
02:35:29,310 --> 02:35:32,190
Cracks me up,
how some people work.

2461
02:35:42,270 --> 02:35:44,110
Looks like they have an issue.

2462
02:35:52,910 --> 02:35:54,190
I can't hear.

2463
02:35:54,350 --> 02:35:56,190
What are they saying?

2464
02:35:58,030 --> 02:35:59,950
You can work early or late.

2465
02:36:00,190 --> 02:36:04,350
Right, that's good,
but it has be all together.

2466
02:36:04,830 --> 02:36:07,870
Some people just won't stop.

2467
02:36:08,830 --> 02:36:10,830
Dong Wei just won't listen.

2468
02:36:16,350 --> 02:36:18,190
If he doesn't stop

2469
02:36:18,350 --> 02:36:19,870
we'll all quit.

2470
02:36:20,030 --> 02:36:22,430
Whatever he does,

2471
02:36:24,030 --> 02:36:26,190
that's your problem.

2472
02:36:26,430 --> 02:36:28,990
No concern of mine.

2473
02:36:31,390 --> 02:36:33,310
I don't want to hear
about individuals.

2474
02:36:33,550 --> 02:36:35,070
I'll be very clear.

2475
02:36:35,550 --> 02:36:38,030
Whoever,
you have to deal with it.

2476
02:36:38,270 --> 02:36:41,470
You can start at six or seven,

2477
02:36:42,430 --> 02:36:45,470
but can you promise
to work 3 more days?

2478
02:36:46,430 --> 02:36:49,150
If I fire him, will you stay?

2479
02:36:54,190 --> 02:36:56,110
Ok, evening overtime.

2480
02:36:57,470 --> 02:37:00,270
Boss, it's not just me complaining.

2481
02:37:00,510 --> 02:37:02,670
But you mentioned
this guy, right?

2482
02:37:04,030 --> 02:37:06,270
He won't discuss it seriously.

2483
02:37:06,510 --> 02:37:08,350
He wants to earn more for himself.

2484
02:37:09,070 --> 02:37:11,870
Bent over his machine all day,

2485
02:37:12,350 --> 02:37:14,510
we're all fed up with it.

2486
02:37:17,870 --> 02:37:20,830
Nothing personal
against him, see?

2487
02:37:40,910 --> 02:37:43,070
Fuck, don't film this!

2488
02:37:51,150 --> 02:37:53,070
Get to it, guys, go home early.

2489
02:37:53,230 --> 02:37:54,430
That's right.

2490
02:37:55,150 --> 02:37:56,750
How did it go?

2491
02:37:56,990 --> 02:37:58,350
Ten more days.

2492
02:37:59,230 --> 02:38:00,510
Including today?

2493
02:38:00,990 --> 02:38:02,430
What else?

2494
02:38:03,470 --> 02:38:05,070
Or maybe a week.

2495
02:38:05,230 --> 02:38:06,510
Or five days?

2496
02:38:07,070 --> 02:38:08,270
Leave on the 30th?

2497
02:38:08,510 --> 02:38:09,630
Hey, move along!

2498
02:38:09,790 --> 02:38:10,990
What's the hold-up?

2499
02:38:11,150 --> 02:38:12,910
Don't step on me!

2500
02:38:14,510 --> 02:38:16,670
- So do we work nights?
- Come on, move!

2501
02:38:16,910 --> 02:38:17,950
How many more days?

2502
02:38:18,190 --> 02:38:20,110
Simple, we finish
what's left and go.

2503
02:38:20,270 --> 02:38:23,710
Right, that's what the boss said.

2504
02:38:23,950 --> 02:38:27,470
Finish what's left here
by New Year's day,

2505
02:38:28,030 --> 02:38:29,630
but what if it takes longer?

2506
02:38:29,790 --> 02:38:30,990
So no new bundles,

2507
02:38:31,230 --> 02:38:32,990
we clear what's left
by Dec. 31.

2508
02:38:33,230 --> 02:38:34,750
Bullshit, can't be done.

2509
02:38:34,990 --> 02:38:36,270
Who said January 1st?

2510
02:38:36,510 --> 02:38:38,430
The boss.

2511
02:38:38,990 --> 02:38:41,550
- January 1, or later?
- By the 1st, he said.

2512
02:38:41,950 --> 02:38:44,270
- It could take longer.
- He said, up to us.

2513
02:38:44,510 --> 02:38:45,870
He means,

2514
02:38:46,030 --> 02:38:48,350
let him know
if there's a problem.

2515
02:38:48,590 --> 02:38:52,030
He said two days or three,
or warn him the day before.

2516
02:38:52,510 --> 02:38:54,510
We're all working here,

2517
02:38:54,830 --> 02:38:56,590
we can say what we think.

2518
02:38:56,830 --> 02:38:59,390
Why not tell him right now,
two days?

2519
02:38:59,550 --> 02:39:02,750
- He has to agree though
- He can say no.

2520
02:39:02,910 --> 02:39:05,870
One day's notice,
get paid the same night.

2521
02:39:06,110 --> 02:39:08,430
Easier said than done.

2522
02:39:08,590 --> 02:39:10,510
- Well, that's what I say.
- Get real.

2523
02:39:10,750 --> 02:39:12,430
What? It's simple.

2524
02:39:13,070 --> 02:39:15,230
You were all very quiet downstairs.

2525
02:39:15,470 --> 02:39:16,830
Well, now we've discussed it

2526
02:39:17,070 --> 02:39:19,150
and agreed to leave on Jan 1st.

2527
02:39:19,390 --> 02:39:20,750
So if we have work in hand

2528
02:39:20,910 --> 02:39:23,790
on the night before,
don't take any more.

2529
02:39:24,030 --> 02:39:26,030
Even if I have
only one left to do?

2530
02:39:26,190 --> 02:39:28,430
Oh, come on, be reasonable.

2531
02:39:28,670 --> 02:39:30,350
- He means...
- It's not fair.

2532
02:39:30,590 --> 02:39:32,910
If we follow you,
we'll never finish!

2533
02:39:33,150 --> 02:39:34,430
Last day is Dec 30.

2534
02:39:34,670 --> 02:39:37,230
But she wants to stay and work.

2535
02:39:37,470 --> 02:39:38,830
Is that what you want?

2536
02:39:38,990 --> 02:39:41,230
No, but if I only had
one piece left.

2537
02:39:41,470 --> 02:39:43,390
You have to compromise!

2538
02:39:43,630 --> 02:39:45,950
Let her work, what's the difference?

2539
02:39:46,110 --> 02:39:47,150
But you want to go!

2540
02:39:47,390 --> 02:39:48,670
Talk sense!

2541
02:39:49,630 --> 02:39:51,630
We say stop,
you're still not happy!

2542
02:39:51,790 --> 02:39:53,710
We'll tell you
what the deal is, ok?

2543
02:39:53,870 --> 02:39:55,630
Or you can just
stay here and work.

2544
02:39:57,070 --> 02:39:59,390
Just ignore her.

2545
02:39:59,790 --> 02:40:01,470
So, are we agreed?

2546
02:40:01,200 --> 02:40:05,189
{\an8}CAO XIAO'E,
41, from Anqing, Anhui Province

2547
02:40:01,790 --> 02:40:02,750
Yes or no?

2548
02:40:03,470 --> 02:40:04,750
Can we tell him now?

2549
02:40:04,910 --> 02:40:06,430
Let's be sure we agree.

2550
02:40:06,750 --> 02:40:08,590
We have to be united.

2551
02:40:08,750 --> 02:40:10,270
One deal for all

2552
02:40:10,430 --> 02:40:13,150
Let the men talk,
the women just want to work.

2553
02:40:13,310 --> 02:40:15,470
What? We're talking
about half a year's pay!

2554
02:40:15,710 --> 02:40:19,390
This isn't something
us women can negotiate.

2555
02:40:22,510 --> 02:40:25,630
I'll go home when I'm done!
We need a common position.

2556
02:40:24,360 --> 02:40:28,343
{\an8}WANG HUADONG,
30, from Anqing, Anhui Province

2557
02:40:25,870 --> 02:40:27,390
Do we have one ready?

2558
02:40:29,390 --> 02:40:30,670
"Clear this batch and go!"

2559
02:40:30,910 --> 02:40:32,670
- Right.
- Finish what's left here.

2560
02:40:35,950 --> 02:40:39,070
Hey, can we say, stop on January 1?

2561
02:40:39,310 --> 02:40:42,510
How about, we can take
new work until 10 am?

2562
02:40:42,750 --> 02:40:46,510
Up to you how much you take,
but no new work after 10.

2563
02:40:46,750 --> 02:40:48,830
I would say,
last cut-off point, 11 am.

2564
02:40:49,150 --> 02:40:51,070
You finish when you can.

2565
02:40:51,310 --> 02:40:53,150
Then you can go, you're free.

2566
02:40:53,390 --> 02:40:55,470
You can work at your own speed.

2567
02:40:55,710 --> 02:40:57,870
- Last pick-up at 11.
- And if I'm not ready?

2568
02:40:58,030 --> 02:40:59,550
11 sharp, ready or not.

2569
02:40:59,790 --> 02:41:02,270
- And after 11?
- You can't take new work.

2570
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:04,670
- Same tonight, we clear.
- What?

2571
02:41:04,830 --> 02:41:07,710
- Easy, do overtime till 3 am.
- Right.

2572
02:41:07,870 --> 02:41:09,390
That's ridiculous.

2573
02:41:09,550 --> 02:41:11,310
What do you mean?

2574
02:41:11,470 --> 02:41:14,430
If we do overtime anyway,
why negotiate?

2575
02:41:14,750 --> 02:41:16,670
What do you hope to get?

2576
02:41:16,830 --> 02:41:20,270
- Why work tonight?
- Who wants to work?

2577
02:41:20,590 --> 02:41:21,790
Up to you.

2578
02:41:22,030 --> 02:41:25,150
Solo workers who finish tonight
can pick up new work.

2579
02:41:25,310 --> 02:41:27,550
- They have more time.
- But they're slower.

2580
02:41:27,710 --> 02:41:29,230
Tandem teams are faster.

2581
02:41:29,470 --> 02:41:31,150
Solos can't make
a 10:45 deadline.

2582
02:41:31,310 --> 02:41:33,230
- Tandems do double
- They can finish.

2583
02:41:33,390 --> 02:41:34,590
But not the solos.

2584
02:41:34,830 --> 02:41:37,070
Depends how they're organized.

2585
02:41:37,310 --> 02:41:39,150
A solo working freely
can do 2 bundles

2586
02:41:39,390 --> 02:41:40,590
and refill at 10 am.

2587
02:41:40,750 --> 02:41:42,190
Tell me how, I'll start now.

2588
02:41:42,430 --> 02:41:43,790
There's always a way.

2589
02:41:44,110 --> 02:41:45,310
still have a small bundle.

2590
02:41:45,470 --> 02:41:46,830
And I have to cook.

2591
02:41:48,110 --> 02:41:50,350
Just cook a bit less!

2592
02:41:52,830 --> 02:41:55,310
You going home for the break?

2593
02:42:50,110 --> 02:42:53,790
You should go on filming
in the workshop.

2594
02:42:54,190 --> 02:42:56,030
They're not working now.

2595
02:42:57,070 --> 02:42:59,470
They want to stop,
make a deal with the boss.

2596
02:43:05,790 --> 02:43:07,790
Wen, as long as
the boss cuts fabric

2597
02:43:08,030 --> 02:43:10,910
and gives us work to do,

2598
02:43:11,070 --> 02:43:13,310
we make dungarees
and earn money.

2599
02:43:13,470 --> 02:43:15,710
It's not just about the money.

2600
02:43:15,870 --> 02:43:18,750
Yes it is!
It's about the money!

2601
02:43:18,990 --> 02:43:20,670
Even when I'm working for family!

2602
02:43:20,910 --> 02:43:22,670
Look, the problem is,

2603
02:43:22,910 --> 02:43:24,910
do we want to finish by Jan 1st?

2604
02:43:25,070 --> 02:43:27,790
You're saying,
it's up to each of us.

2605
02:43:28,510 --> 02:43:30,270
I say, it's up to you.

2606
02:43:30,430 --> 02:43:32,990
Come on, that won't work.

2607
02:43:33,150 --> 02:43:35,070
Yeah, just drop the bullshit.

2608
02:43:35,470 --> 02:43:39,070
If we can't agree, stop work,
now or tomorrow.

2609
02:43:39,390 --> 02:43:41,630
Or you all go talk to him.

2610
02:43:41,790 --> 02:43:45,390
If you let me deal, half of us
could get paid and go home.

2611
02:43:45,630 --> 02:43:47,470
- Right.
- Work or go, whatever.

2612
02:43:47,630 --> 02:43:48,830
That's what I want.

2613
02:43:49,070 --> 02:43:51,070
- That's it.
- I want another bundle.

2614
02:43:51,550 --> 02:43:53,070
So you stay, you go,
up to you!

2615
02:43:53,390 --> 02:43:54,910
What's all the fuss?

2616
02:43:55,070 --> 02:43:57,470
- But if the others have all gone...
- Right,

2617
02:43:57,630 --> 02:44:00,030
and you want to work tomorrow?

2618
02:44:00,590 --> 02:44:03,390
You going to work by yourself?

2619
02:44:03,550 --> 02:44:04,670
Better stay in bed.

2620
02:44:04,830 --> 02:44:07,150
Some get up at one o'clock.

2621
02:44:07,470 --> 02:44:10,670
- Some work all day...
- Some start at 7,

2622
02:44:10,990 --> 02:44:12,910
or 6:30, or 6...

2623
02:44:13,070 --> 02:44:16,430
Or even 5 am.
Tiptoe out of the dorm...

2624
02:44:16,670 --> 02:44:19,950
Not me, I just come in at 7:30.

2625
02:44:21,390 --> 02:44:24,350
Right, why compete? It's crazy.

2626
02:44:24,510 --> 02:44:25,950
See, Xiao Hong agrees.

2627
02:44:28,750 --> 02:44:30,910
So we leave on Jan 1st.

2628
02:44:31,390 --> 02:44:34,110
It's chaos now, each for himself.

2629
02:44:35,070 --> 02:44:37,230
- I'm new, I don't get it.
- So shut up!

2630
02:44:37,390 --> 02:44:40,590
- And there's reworking to do.
- First one up tomorrow can do it.

2631
02:44:40,830 --> 02:44:42,510
Not me, anyway.

2632
02:44:42,750 --> 02:44:44,190
They can work, I won't.

2633
02:44:44,510 --> 02:44:47,470
I'm cashing in tomorrow,
the boss has my book.

2634
02:44:47,630 --> 02:44:50,590
Don't be so selfish,
we're all in this together.

2635
02:44:50,830 --> 02:44:53,230
Once, the boss even
unplugged the machines.

2636
02:44:53,470 --> 02:44:55,950
Someone should
slap him around a bit.

2637
02:44:56,190 --> 02:44:59,390
I was in early,
no-one else working.

2638
02:44:59,550 --> 02:45:01,790
He came up, didn't seem too happy.

2639
02:45:02,030 --> 02:45:04,670
- I just kept quiet.
- Ok, let's get back to work.

2640
02:45:22,830 --> 02:45:25,150
We were eating, I was thirsty.

2641
02:45:26,670 --> 02:45:29,230
Why couldn't you bring
your own water bottle?

2642
02:45:29,390 --> 02:45:31,310
- I meant to bring it.
But did you?

2643
02:45:31,550 --> 02:45:35,230
I told you, I was thirsty,
I have a right, don't I?

2644
02:45:35,870 --> 02:45:37,630
You won't listen.

2645
02:45:37,950 --> 02:45:40,190
Maybe, but you should
think of others.

2646
02:45:40,430 --> 02:45:42,350
You can't just grab
someone's water.

2647
02:45:42,510 --> 02:45:45,550
I didn't grab it, I asked her.

2648
02:45:45,790 --> 02:45:48,750
You should ask politely,
not just grab it.

2649
02:45:49,070 --> 02:45:51,950
Of course they'd be pissed off.

2650
02:46:11,550 --> 02:46:13,230
No, stay, Lin Shao, let's eat.

2651
02:46:13,870 --> 02:46:15,950
I set places for dinner,
you're here.

2652
02:46:16,190 --> 02:46:18,110
- I'll just stand here.
- Over there.

2653
02:46:17,280 --> 02:46:21,246
{\an8}FANG LINGPING
Elder sister of Lin Shao

2654
02:46:18,350 --> 02:46:18,990
I'm fine here.

2655
02:46:19,230 --> 02:46:20,430
Here's a piece of garlic.

2656
02:46:20,590 --> 02:46:22,990
- I took three bits of chicken.
- Plenty left.

2657
02:46:23,390 --> 02:46:25,310
This has cooked for two hours.

2658
02:46:25,550 --> 02:46:27,150
Started at 2 o'clock.

2659
02:46:27,870 --> 02:46:28,750
Who made this?

2660
02:46:28,910 --> 02:46:30,110
- Like it?
- It's good.

2661
02:46:30,270 --> 02:46:31,310
Help yourself.

2662
02:46:31,470 --> 02:46:33,950
- Hmm it's spicy.
- You ate the head!

2663
02:46:34,110 --> 02:46:35,230
It's food, isn't it?

2664
02:46:35,470 --> 02:46:36,830
- Gives it taste.
- Thanks.

2665
02:46:37,070 --> 02:46:38,110
Whatever.

2666
02:46:38,590 --> 02:46:40,670
Three bits of chicken,
three chilis.

2667
02:46:40,830 --> 02:46:42,510
No kidding, it's really good.

2668
02:46:42,910 --> 02:46:44,270
Really.

2669
02:46:46,110 --> 02:46:48,030
- We had money left over.
- And the oil?

2670
02:46:48,510 --> 02:46:49,710
We need to buy more.

2671
02:46:49,950 --> 02:46:51,470
- Who'll get it?
- I will.

2672
02:46:51,950 --> 02:46:53,390
So two things still to buy.

2673
02:46:56,030 --> 02:46:57,470
The rice is just right.

2674
02:46:57,710 --> 02:46:58,830
Look how much I took.

2675
02:46:59,150 --> 02:47:00,270
Nearly a full bowl.

2676
02:47:01,390 --> 02:47:02,750
Filled right up

2677
02:47:03,150 --> 02:47:04,590
Ah Bing makes good rice.

2678
02:47:04,750 --> 02:47:06,910
- He's a good cook.
- Eh?

2679
02:47:16,750 --> 02:47:18,270
What's for dinner?

2680
02:47:18,670 --> 02:47:20,270
Bring me something.

2681
02:47:27,230 --> 02:47:28,510
Nah, bedtime.

2682
02:47:50,920 --> 02:47:54,897
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 78 XINGFU ROAD, ZHILI

2683
02:48:02,830 --> 02:48:04,510
What a slacker you are.

2684
02:48:04,990 --> 02:48:06,830
- Civil servant!
- Piss off.

2685
02:48:06,720 --> 02:48:10,691
{\an8}CHEN QINGTAO,
21, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

2686
02:48:06,990 --> 02:48:10,110
Lucky we took you in
who knows where you'd be.

2687
02:48:10,430 --> 02:48:12,990
Mr Cool here recruited me,
how could I refuse?

2688
02:48:13,550 --> 02:48:15,950
Lao Li says he's the denim king.

2689
02:48:16,830 --> 02:48:20,110
- He can't even do raised seams.
- I never said I'm the best!

2690
02:48:20,750 --> 02:48:22,270
We'll see soon enough.

2691
02:48:23,550 --> 02:48:25,790
Listen to that evil laugh!

2692
02:48:29,480 --> 02:48:33,465
{\an8}HU SIWEN,
21, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

2693
02:48:30,430 --> 02:48:32,990
You can't rush this stuff.

2694
02:48:34,430 --> 02:48:36,190
Let's stop, we're the last.

2695
02:48:37,870 --> 02:48:40,430
Churn them out, who's checking?

2696
02:48:41,600 --> 02:48:45,585
{\an8}HU WENPING,
22, from Anqing, Anhui Province

2697
02:48:51,390 --> 02:48:53,150
My third aunt is going home today,

2698
02:48:51,400 --> 02:48:55,384
{\an8}TAN WEIWEI,
15, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

2699
02:48:53,310 --> 02:48:54,990
and I'm still here working.

2700
02:48:55,230 --> 02:48:56,510
Two more days, ok?

2701
02:48:59,150 --> 02:49:01,870
I need money to go home for New Year.

2702
02:49:02,030 --> 02:49:03,230
Not sure about New Year.

2703
02:49:03,470 --> 02:49:06,830
If the boss pays us
we can leave tomorrow.

2704
02:49:09,870 --> 02:49:13,150
Finish what's left,
pick up our money.

2705
02:49:13,390 --> 02:49:15,550
We can go straight home, right?

2706
02:49:15,790 --> 02:49:17,150
What's left to do here?

2707
02:49:42,910 --> 02:49:44,830
We still have to
pull out your tops.

2708
02:49:46,430 --> 02:49:49,470
- Sooner the better.
- Only a few left.

2709
02:49:49,710 --> 02:49:50,830
- Clocking off?
- What?

2710
02:49:50,990 --> 02:49:52,750
- Are you off?
- Who says?

2711
02:49:53,070 --> 02:49:54,350
Better finish this batch.

2712
02:49:54,590 --> 02:49:55,710
No problem.

2713
02:49:56,270 --> 02:49:58,190
- How many have you done?
- Five.

2714
02:49:58,990 --> 02:50:00,510
How many suits ready?

2715
02:50:02,830 --> 02:50:04,270
I'll pull these out for you.

2716
02:50:05,310 --> 02:50:07,390
Nearly done,
linings need more cotton.

2717
02:50:08,030 --> 02:50:09,950
How do you pull these out?
This way.

2718
02:50:11,150 --> 02:50:12,990
- Are these done?
- Not yet.

2719
02:50:13,390 --> 02:50:14,830
They need finishing.

2720
02:50:15,150 --> 02:50:17,310
Are they done?
No, I haven't finished any.

2721
02:50:17,550 --> 02:50:18,990
Just wait,
one left to pull.

2722
02:50:19,230 --> 02:50:21,470
- Haven't you even started?
- Ok, ready.

2723
02:50:21,790 --> 02:50:23,710
Bullshit, look.
Corners are tricky

2724
02:50:23,950 --> 02:50:25,310
Why so fussy?

2725
02:50:25,470 --> 02:50:27,870
They look better this way,
fetch a better price

2726
02:50:36,190 --> 02:50:38,510
Why carry the dog?
Let him run.

2727
02:50:40,270 --> 02:50:41,870
People steal dogs.

2728
02:50:43,870 --> 02:50:45,710
Keep still, we're nearly there.

2729
02:51:08,030 --> 02:51:08,830
There you go.

2730
02:51:23,040 --> 02:51:27,020
{\an8}HU WEIXIA,
18, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

2731
02:51:27,150 --> 02:51:28,270
Here, doggy!

2732
02:51:29,310 --> 02:51:30,670
Come on, then!

2733
02:51:32,270 --> 02:51:33,390
In you go.

2734
02:51:34,190 --> 02:51:35,230
That's it, go.

2735
02:51:43,790 --> 02:51:45,710
- Turn the light on.
- I'm worn out.

2736
02:51:46,350 --> 02:51:47,950
You've run me off my feet!

2737
02:51:49,070 --> 02:51:52,190
What's your dog doing in our room?
He better not piss in here!

2738
02:51:53,070 --> 02:51:54,190
Go on, in there!

2739
02:51:54,590 --> 02:51:56,750
- The door's shut.
- Worked myself to death.

2740
02:51:59,390 --> 02:52:00,430
Look, here!

2741
02:52:00,670 --> 02:52:02,030
A little snack.

2742
02:52:07,230 --> 02:52:08,910
Qingtao,
let's be blood brothers.

2743
02:52:09,150 --> 02:52:11,710
- You smoke like a chimney.
- I enjoy it.

2744
02:52:12,830 --> 02:52:13,790
Expensive.

2745
02:52:14,110 --> 02:52:15,310
Waste of money.

2746
02:52:15,790 --> 02:52:17,390
All this talk about smoking!

2747
02:52:17,870 --> 02:52:20,110
- Waste of money.
- Irrelevant.

2748
02:52:20,430 --> 02:52:22,590
- Why?
- Forget it, ok?

2749
02:52:22,830 --> 02:52:25,070
Telling me about smoking all day.

2750
02:52:25,310 --> 02:52:27,230
- Morning till night.
- Poor baby!

2751
02:52:28,830 --> 02:52:30,510
You never stop.

2752
02:52:39,150 --> 02:52:41,550
You just let that dog run free?

2753
02:52:41,870 --> 02:52:44,910
When you talk, he looks at you.

2754
02:52:45,550 --> 02:52:46,590
He dropped it!

2755
02:52:46,830 --> 02:52:48,830
Keep the door shut!

2756
02:52:49,150 --> 02:52:51,390
I won't work nights,
they freeze me out.

2757
02:52:51,630 --> 02:52:52,830
What can I say?

2758
02:52:53,070 --> 02:52:54,430
won't go tonight,
Tang An.

2759
02:52:55,070 --> 02:52:56,190
Tang An!

2760
02:52:56,830 --> 02:52:58,590
I told him.
He cuts more, stop.

2761
02:52:58,750 --> 02:52:59,470
I mean it.

2762
02:52:59,710 --> 02:53:00,510
I'll stop.

2763
02:53:01,790 --> 02:53:05,630
They argue over every item,
never stop bickering, it's no fun.

2764
02:53:05,950 --> 02:53:08,030
- Can't agree on anything.
- Yeah, but.

2765
02:53:08,270 --> 02:53:09,950
You talk a lot too,

2766
02:53:10,110 --> 02:53:12,750
and it's just your opinion.

2767
02:53:13,070 --> 02:53:14,430
Did you hit my dog?

2768
02:53:14,670 --> 02:53:16,190
Don't get too close,
he'll bite.

2769
02:53:16,430 --> 02:53:18,350
Like that Yunnan guy's dog.

2770
02:53:18,510 --> 02:53:20,190
Some scary dogs
in this building.

2771
02:53:20,350 --> 02:53:22,430
Yours is fiercer than a Samoyed.

2772
02:53:22,590 --> 02:53:23,710
He's aggressive.

2773
02:53:23,950 --> 02:53:25,390
- Fierce
- You can have him.

2774
02:53:25,550 --> 02:53:27,550
- Why not?
- How about a Tibetan mastiff?

2775
02:53:27,790 --> 02:53:29,310
- Hard to find.
- And expensive.

2776
02:53:29,550 --> 02:53:32,350
They bite.
And they're hard to train.

2777
02:53:32,990 --> 02:53:34,190
My benefactor!

2778
02:53:35,870 --> 02:53:37,950
Look at you.
You're so strong.

2779
02:53:40,110 --> 02:53:42,030
Ok, give me a break now.

2780
02:53:42,270 --> 02:53:44,750
- But you're my hero.
- Fuck off!

2781
02:53:44,990 --> 02:53:47,390
Si Wen, listen to this!

2782
02:53:47,550 --> 02:53:49,470
- It's true!
- Listen to this guy!

2783
02:53:50,030 --> 02:53:52,030
- Wait, next year...
- You don't believe me?

2784
02:53:52,270 --> 02:53:54,350
Next year, maybe...

2785
02:53:54,510 --> 02:53:58,030
The Monk told my fortune,
he says we'll work together again.

2786
02:53:58,190 --> 02:54:01,550
Not if you hang with the Monk.
Drop him, we might consider it.

2787
02:54:01,710 --> 02:54:03,550
I'll work with him
next year for sure.

2788
02:54:03,790 --> 02:54:06,030
- But the Monk...
- He doesn't make pants!

2789
02:54:06,750 --> 02:54:09,550
What if he goes back to his temple?

2790
02:54:09,790 --> 02:54:11,470
Next year, knitwear.
No more denim.

2791
02:54:11,710 --> 02:54:13,230
I can learn knitwear.

2792
02:54:13,630 --> 02:54:15,710
And leave Monk alone in his temple?

2793
02:54:15,950 --> 02:54:17,710
- I can take you there.
- No thanks.

2794
02:54:17,950 --> 02:54:20,670
Today the boss lady said
you made the most denims.

2795
02:54:20,990 --> 02:54:22,910
You can take some home!

2796
02:54:23,470 --> 02:54:25,550
The store-room is full
of unsold denims,

2797
02:54:26,030 --> 02:54:27,150
all made by Si Wen!

2798
02:54:27,310 --> 02:54:29,870
- What the fuck?
- Boss lady said, at lunch.

2799
02:54:30,110 --> 02:54:31,630
Si Wen makes them that fast.

2800
02:54:32,030 --> 02:54:33,390
Unsold denims, all his work.

2801
02:54:33,710 --> 02:54:34,910
No. 1 surplus item.

2802
02:54:35,150 --> 02:54:36,270
I don't believe it.

2803
02:54:36,670 --> 02:54:39,470
- She must be kidding
- It's true, they're in the store.

2804
02:54:39,710 --> 02:54:42,990
Si Wen makes denims so fast,
they don't want him back!

2805
02:54:43,150 --> 02:54:46,190
I should have trained on soft fabric.

2806
02:54:46,350 --> 02:54:49,230
First job I get is with soft stuff.

2807
02:55:13,710 --> 02:55:14,910
Have you been out?

2808
02:55:16,910 --> 02:55:18,110
Not this evening

2809
02:55:19,390 --> 02:55:21,230
How did the riot start?

2810
02:55:21,390 --> 02:55:24,510
Seems it was because of a tax,

2811
02:55:24,670 --> 02:55:25,630
that was it.

2812
02:55:25,870 --> 02:55:28,110
There was a 200¥ tax

2813
02:55:28,510 --> 02:55:31,150
that suddenly went up to 500.

2814
02:55:31,390 --> 02:55:34,110
It was a tax on each machine

2815
02:55:34,350 --> 02:55:37,390
like the ones downstairs.

2816
02:55:37,630 --> 02:55:39,310
That was what started the trouble.

2817
02:55:39,550 --> 02:55:40,750
Then a woman from Anhui,

2818
02:55:40,990 --> 02:55:43,310
from some village
with a river, think,

2819
02:55:44,750 --> 02:55:46,750
and she refused to pay the tax.

2820
02:55:46,910 --> 02:55:48,990
Anyway, she was pregnant,

2821
02:55:49,870 --> 02:55:51,470
and it seems the tax collector

2822
02:55:51,630 --> 02:55:54,590
kicked her in the stomach.

2823
02:55:54,750 --> 02:55:57,070
She miscarried,

2824
02:55:57,310 --> 02:55:58,910
right there on the spot,

2825
02:55:59,070 --> 02:56:01,230
and that set things off.

2826
02:56:01,470 --> 02:56:02,750
She was from Anqing?

2827
02:56:03,070 --> 02:56:04,670
Right, from Qianshan.

2828
02:56:05,470 --> 02:56:08,590
Everyone was talking about it,
it was unbelievable.

2829
02:56:08,750 --> 02:56:10,670
People started gathering,

2830
02:56:10,910 --> 02:56:13,950
until Zhili town hall was surrounded

2831
02:56:14,190 --> 02:56:16,030
by a huge crowd.

2832
02:56:16,430 --> 02:56:19,070
saw some pictures online,

2833
02:56:19,310 --> 02:56:20,670
the report said there were

2834
02:56:20,910 --> 02:56:23,790
rows of dead bodies on the ground

2835
02:56:24,030 --> 02:56:25,630
two long rows of bodies,

2836
02:56:25,870 --> 02:56:30,190
their faces covered,
clothes wrapped round their heads.

2837
02:56:30,910 --> 02:56:32,830
The cops grabbed kids from the crowd,

2838
02:56:33,070 --> 02:56:36,270
threw us in tiny cells,
like barely a meter square.

2839
02:56:37,630 --> 02:56:39,550
Locked us in and beat us.

2840
02:56:39,790 --> 02:56:41,390
They'd stop, then start again,

2841
02:56:41,630 --> 02:56:44,510
and keep on hitting us
until we "confessed."

2842
02:56:45,390 --> 02:56:46,350
I got off lightly.

2843
02:56:46,590 --> 02:56:49,790
They put me in a cell,
asked me where was from.

2844
02:56:50,030 --> 02:56:50,990
"I'm from Anhui."

2845
02:56:51,230 --> 02:56:52,430
Wrong answer.

2846
02:56:52,590 --> 02:56:54,750
He says, you Anhui people did this.

2847
02:56:54,990 --> 02:56:56,590
That really pissed me off.

2848
02:56:56,750 --> 02:56:59,070
I was so angry,
could hardly control myself.

2849
02:56:59,310 --> 02:57:01,470
I can still hear that insult.

2850
02:57:01,630 --> 02:57:02,830
"You Anhui people."

2851
02:57:02,990 --> 02:57:04,990
I said, we're to blame, is that it?

2852
02:57:05,310 --> 02:57:07,230
It wasn't just us, there were

2853
02:57:07,390 --> 02:57:09,230
people from Henan, other places.

2854
02:57:09,470 --> 02:57:11,870
We're from Anhui, so we're guilty?

2855
02:57:12,110 --> 02:57:14,750
The Deputy Governor
of Anhui showed up,

2856
02:57:14,990 --> 02:57:17,070
the Mayors of Anqing and Xuancheng,

2857
02:57:17,310 --> 02:57:20,190
even the mayors of our own
and neighboring districts.

2858
02:57:21,470 --> 02:57:23,950
But we still got beaten up.

2859
02:57:27,150 --> 02:57:28,670
In the police station,

2860
02:57:28,990 --> 02:57:34,430
I saw one kid,
must have been around 20 or so,

2861
02:57:34,670 --> 02:57:37,150
who refused to confess to anything.

2862
02:57:37,390 --> 02:57:39,870
Really heroic, he was.

2863
02:57:40,110 --> 02:57:43,710
He said, I've done nothing wrong,
why am here?

2864
02:57:43,950 --> 02:57:47,310
But you know,
when they get you in there,

2865
02:57:47,630 --> 02:57:49,070
all you want to do is get out,

2866
02:57:49,550 --> 02:57:51,230
and arguing won't work.

2867
02:57:51,390 --> 02:57:52,670
They nearly killed him.

2868
02:57:52,910 --> 02:57:55,230
His whole mouth was bleeding,

2869
02:57:55,390 --> 02:57:57,150
his arms and legs all swollen.

2870
02:57:57,390 --> 02:57:58,990
That guy got a real beating.

2871
02:57:59,230 --> 02:58:00,830
Fuck, he couldn't even walk,

2872
02:58:01,150 --> 02:58:03,310
he was black and blue all over.

2873
02:58:03,870 --> 02:58:07,470
Thing is, I can describe
the violence in words,

2874
02:58:07,950 --> 02:58:09,870
but if you haven't been there,

2875
02:58:10,110 --> 02:58:11,550
you can't possibly imagine.

2876
02:58:11,790 --> 02:58:14,910
You see it on TV, sure,

2877
02:58:15,150 --> 02:58:18,190
police brutality, and torture,

2878
02:58:18,430 --> 02:58:21,070
but this was for real.

2879
02:58:21,390 --> 02:58:24,030
When they let me go
and went home,

2880
02:58:24,190 --> 02:58:25,470
that was in 2011,

2881
02:58:25,710 --> 02:58:27,630
I sat outside every day thinking.

2882
02:58:27,870 --> 02:58:30,350
I'd never experienced
anything like that,

2883
02:58:30,590 --> 02:58:31,870
it left deep mental scars.

2884
02:58:32,110 --> 02:58:35,470
You watch the news every day,
they tell you how great China is.

2885
02:58:35,710 --> 02:58:36,990
But after that...

2886
02:58:37,150 --> 02:58:39,870
It looks different,
it looks pretty dark.

2887
02:58:40,110 --> 02:58:43,470
You have no rights!
So what's the use of having money?

2888
02:58:45,550 --> 02:58:47,310
How old were you?

2889
02:58:47,550 --> 02:58:49,950
You're a bit older than me, right?

2890
02:58:52,190 --> 02:58:54,030
I was 16 or 17, I suppose.

2891
02:58:55,950 --> 02:58:58,670
You were probably just 18.

2892
02:59:00,270 --> 02:59:05,070
We were all kids around the same age,
living from day to day.

2893
02:59:06,190 --> 02:59:07,950
I remember how they beat people.

2894
02:59:08,110 --> 02:59:10,670
Locked in a tiny cell.

2895
02:59:11,070 --> 02:59:12,990
It's hard to imagine

2896
02:59:13,310 --> 02:59:16,350
how they must have beat that kid,

2897
02:59:16,590 --> 02:59:18,830
on his whole body.

2898
02:59:19,070 --> 02:59:20,670
Lucky they didn't

2899
02:59:20,910 --> 02:59:23,550
break all his bones.

2900
02:59:23,950 --> 02:59:25,390
Two cops put him on the floor

2901
02:59:25,630 --> 02:59:28,270
just started kicking him.

2902
02:59:28,750 --> 02:59:31,390
They made me squat.
I never squat, so...

2903
02:59:31,710 --> 02:59:33,710
after seven hours like that,

2904
02:59:33,950 --> 02:59:36,910
when these two riot cops

2905
02:59:37,150 --> 02:59:39,310
grabbed my neck,

2906
02:59:39,630 --> 02:59:41,630
pushed me down,

2907
02:59:41,870 --> 02:59:43,390
my legs were so numb

2908
02:59:43,630 --> 02:59:44,990
I just pitched forward

2909
02:59:45,230 --> 02:59:49,710
with my face on that
police station floor.

2910
02:59:49,950 --> 02:59:52,590
Then one of them picks me up,

2911
02:59:52,830 --> 02:59:55,390
and knees me in the head,

2912
02:59:55,630 --> 02:59:57,630
right here on the temple.

2913
02:59:57,870 --> 03:00:00,030
I nearly passed out.

2914
03:00:00,270 --> 03:00:03,150
Just lost all feeling, fuck.

2915
03:00:03,310 --> 03:00:06,270
I've told the guys here,
but they probably can't believe

2916
03:00:06,510 --> 03:00:08,430
those cops were so vicious.

2917
03:00:08,670 --> 03:00:11,630
A knee blow to the temple,

2918
03:00:11,870 --> 03:00:13,710
imagine that.

2919
03:00:13,950 --> 03:00:16,430
I could hardly see.

2920
03:00:17,150 --> 03:00:20,190
I went home covered in bruises,

2921
03:00:20,510 --> 03:00:23,470
all over my body.

2922
03:00:24,030 --> 03:00:26,590
I'm still young, my body can take it,

2923
03:00:26,830 --> 03:00:30,590
but when I get older,
the pains might come back.

2924
03:00:36,110 --> 03:00:38,910
Some people think we were
just a bunch of rowdy kids

2925
03:00:39,230 --> 03:00:41,630
who needed to be taught a lesson.

2926
03:00:43,550 --> 03:00:45,230
In fact, what happened was

2927
03:00:45,390 --> 03:00:47,470
that place opened our eyes

2928
03:00:47,630 --> 03:00:50,430
to the reality of this society.

2929
03:00:51,230 --> 03:00:53,390
Something wrong, isn't there?

2930
03:00:55,630 --> 03:00:58,190
One kid paid 20,000 to get out.

2931
03:00:58,350 --> 03:01:00,030
Quite a price, isn't it?

2932
03:01:00,990 --> 03:01:03,230
20,000¥ bail.

2933
03:01:06,750 --> 03:01:11,070
You were taking pictures, right?
That's why they grabbed you?

2934
03:01:11,470 --> 03:01:12,910
Why didn't you run?

2935
03:01:13,390 --> 03:01:15,870
Run where? No chance,

2936
03:01:16,110 --> 03:01:17,710
there was a huge crowd,

2937
03:01:17,950 --> 03:01:19,470
thousands of people,

2938
03:01:19,790 --> 03:01:22,270
at least seven rows behind me,

2939
03:01:22,430 --> 03:01:25,710
men and women, shoulder to shoulder,

2940
03:01:26,030 --> 03:01:28,510
no way to squeeze through.

2941
03:01:28,750 --> 03:01:30,430
They were grabbing us at random.

2942
03:01:30,590 --> 03:01:32,990
A friend of mine had
a page on TenCent,

2943
03:01:33,150 --> 03:01:34,750
this was back in 2011.

2944
03:01:34,910 --> 03:01:36,030
Around that time,

2945
03:01:36,270 --> 03:01:40,350
the police grabbed this young guy,

2946
03:01:40,670 --> 03:01:44,030
and his mother protested,
saying he was innocent

2947
03:01:44,190 --> 03:01:46,910
and had been wrongly arrested.

2948
03:01:47,230 --> 03:01:49,790
So they took her in too,
and beat them both up.

2949
03:01:50,030 --> 03:01:51,310
Someone took a picture.

2950
03:01:51,470 --> 03:01:54,030
Blood everywhere, teeth knocked out.

2951
03:01:54,350 --> 03:01:56,270
I saw the pictures.

2952
03:01:56,510 --> 03:01:59,150
So I consider myself very lucky,

2953
03:01:59,390 --> 03:02:01,150
because just after I was arrested

2954
03:02:01,390 --> 03:02:04,350
someone set fire to a police van.

2955
03:02:05,550 --> 03:02:08,990
If they'd taken me after that

2956
03:02:09,150 --> 03:02:12,350
they could easily

2957
03:02:12,670 --> 03:02:14,750
have pinned that on me,

2958
03:02:14,990 --> 03:02:18,590
set me up for assaulting
the police or  whatever.

2959
03:02:18,990 --> 03:02:21,790
Plenty of kids were framed

2960
03:02:22,030 --> 03:02:24,990
and had to do
two or three years inside.

2961
03:03:53,150 --> 03:03:55,070
Everyone downstairs!

2962
03:04:03,630 --> 03:04:05,470
It's time to deal.

2963
03:04:11,150 --> 03:04:13,390
Some can stay here,

2964
03:04:13,870 --> 03:04:15,390
we don't all need to go.

2965
03:04:15,630 --> 03:04:17,390
- You're not coming?
- Yes I am.

2966
03:04:17,710 --> 03:04:19,470
Lock him in here,

2967
03:04:19,950 --> 03:04:21,630
he's no use down there.

2968
03:04:22,350 --> 03:04:24,270
Hey, what do you mean?

2969
03:04:41,550 --> 03:04:43,470
These haven't changed
in three years,

2970
03:04:43,630 --> 03:04:44,830
22 and 23.

2971
03:04:44,990 --> 03:04:46,350
This one's too low.

2972
03:04:46,590 --> 03:04:48,990
22 came later, we aligned it on 23.

2973
03:04:49,230 --> 03:04:51,150
In fact, 23 came first,

2974
03:04:51,390 --> 03:04:54,030
we cut 23 on August 15th,
I remember.

2975
03:04:54,590 --> 03:04:56,590
And 22 on October 1st.

2976
03:04:57,710 --> 03:04:58,670
It's much too low.

2977
03:04:59,550 --> 03:05:01,390
We need to adjust the second one.

2978
03:05:01,630 --> 03:05:03,390
It's really too low.

2979
03:05:03,630 --> 03:05:08,430
- I'll tell you why they're low.
- Yeah, we'd only make 30,000 each!

2980
03:05:08,670 --> 03:05:11,710
We were late to market,
we had to follow the going rate.

2981
03:05:11,870 --> 03:05:13,870
The other shops were ahead of us.

2982
03:05:14,030 --> 03:05:16,750
Trust me,
you can ask around.

2983
03:05:16,990 --> 03:05:19,310
Sure, we realise that.

2984
03:05:19,550 --> 03:05:22,030
But they're paying 13 or 14
for the padded jackets.

2985
03:05:22,350 --> 03:05:25,550
Even the simplest is at 13 or 14.

2986
03:05:25,790 --> 03:05:27,630
You know, you've made them yourself.

2987
03:05:27,870 --> 03:05:30,190
late to set
a new rate for these this year.

2988
03:05:30,350 --> 03:05:31,790
Why not last year's rate?

2989
03:05:32,030 --> 03:05:34,670
We agreed the rate with Zheng Feng.

2990
03:05:34,910 --> 03:05:38,430
- Look...
- Nobody could accept this rate.

2991
03:05:38,670 --> 03:05:40,670
We've been with you
for some time now,

2992
03:05:40,830 --> 03:05:42,750
nearly six months.

2993
03:05:42,990 --> 03:05:47,310
- Can't do it this year.
- Last year the Mickey Mouse was 8.5,

2994
03:05:47,470 --> 03:05:49,470
and this year you're saying 6¥?

2995
03:05:49,950 --> 03:05:51,310
Who could accept that?

2996
03:05:51,470 --> 03:05:53,150
It's not even close.

2997
03:05:53,390 --> 03:05:56,030
Some were at 3¥,
but they're much harder this year.

2998
03:05:56,270 --> 03:06:00,190
This year's rates are far lower,
even lower than last year's.

2999
03:06:00,430 --> 03:06:01,870
And they're harder to make.

3000
03:06:02,030 --> 03:06:05,310
Last year we made the raincoats,
the Mickey Mouse model,

3001
03:06:05,550 --> 03:06:07,390
and the same padded jackets.

3002
03:06:08,590 --> 03:06:09,950
This Mickey Mouse?

3003
03:06:10,190 --> 03:06:11,790
- Right.
- The sand-washed one

3004
03:06:12,670 --> 03:06:14,430
This one here.

3005
03:06:14,590 --> 03:06:17,550
They make the same model
at Yimin West Road.

3006
03:06:17,790 --> 03:06:20,190
They've set their rate,
and we use the same cuts.

3007
03:06:20,350 --> 03:06:22,910
- I wouldn't pay you less.
- The lining's identical.

3008
03:06:38,190 --> 03:06:39,390
Look at these numbers.

3009
03:06:39,630 --> 03:06:42,110
- Makes me so angry
- Is Qingtao still downstairs?

3010
03:06:42,590 --> 03:06:44,590
- Let's get him up here.
- Go on.

3011
03:06:44,830 --> 03:06:46,910
He didn't look too sure of himself.

3012
03:06:47,710 --> 03:06:49,790
I'll talk to him when he comes up.

3013
03:06:50,030 --> 03:06:52,510
- Why didn't you speak up?
- You were there with us.

3014
03:06:52,750 --> 03:06:53,870
Shen Yi was talking.

3015
03:06:54,110 --> 03:06:55,390
You said nothing.

3016
03:07:11,070 --> 03:07:12,670
Plus 1130,

3017
03:07:13,870 --> 03:07:15,310
plus 330,

3018
03:07:15,560 --> 03:07:19,552
{\an8}HU CAIXIN,
from Wangjiang, Anhui Province

3019
03:07:16,590 --> 03:07:17,630
plus 266.

3020
03:07:17,870 --> 03:07:19,870
And here, add 34,000.

3021
03:07:20,270 --> 03:07:22,590
We can raise two rates,
each by 50c.

3022
03:07:23,070 --> 03:07:25,070
That's 860, plus 2610.

3023
03:07:25,310 --> 03:07:26,590
Less than the last one?

3024
03:07:27,070 --> 03:07:28,830
- See, these two.
- Calculate again.

3025
03:07:29,070 --> 03:07:31,070
Look, compare these two.

3026
03:07:32,430 --> 03:07:35,070
- Similar.
- Same as the first time.

3027
03:07:35,470 --> 03:07:38,030
- Ok?
- We focus on raising the lowest one.

3028
03:07:38,510 --> 03:07:41,390
The numbers are right.
Any lower, we won't even make 25,000.

3029
03:07:41,870 --> 03:07:45,230
- Two of us should take this down.
- You and me, let's go.

3030
03:07:45,470 --> 03:07:46,830
Go ahead, we'll follow.

3031
03:07:47,070 --> 03:07:48,510
- We'll go now.
- What?

3032
03:07:48,670 --> 03:07:49,950
Come with us.

3033
03:07:51,390 --> 03:07:53,630
Two or three, but not just one.

3034
03:08:04,830 --> 03:08:05,950
Back here again?

3035
03:08:06,110 --> 03:08:07,230
You said, choose an item.

3036
03:08:07,470 --> 03:08:08,830
We chose this one.

3037
03:08:09,310 --> 03:08:11,790
Boss, you asked me yourself,
it was your idea.

3038
03:08:13,470 --> 03:08:15,790
You've chosen the highest-run item!

3039
03:08:15,950 --> 03:08:17,470
So? How much do you want?

3040
03:08:17,630 --> 03:08:19,150
You said choose, I chose.

3041
03:08:19,390 --> 03:08:22,750
I know it's no use
asking for too much.

3042
03:08:23,230 --> 03:08:24,750
You won't accept.

3043
03:08:24,910 --> 03:08:26,190
Ok, I think we can agree.

3044
03:08:26,430 --> 03:08:28,830
I can offer you 8
on all these five items.

3045
03:08:29,630 --> 03:08:32,350
And on these, at least 10 and 9.5.

3046
03:08:34,430 --> 03:08:36,430
I'll raise any rate that I can,

3047
03:08:36,670 --> 03:08:38,670
but I can't increase this item.

3048
03:08:38,830 --> 03:08:40,430
It's 9¥ and that's final.

3049
03:08:40,670 --> 03:08:41,790
This one also is fixed,

3050
03:08:42,110 --> 03:08:44,190
at the rate you asked for.

3051
03:08:46,750 --> 03:08:49,070
This one's up 50c.
A few cents on the next one,

3052
03:08:49,310 --> 03:08:51,070
and the rest stay as they are.

3053
03:08:59,710 --> 03:09:02,190
- They won't finish tonight.
- Really?

3054
03:09:02,350 --> 03:09:04,270
They're still arguing
over a few items,

3055
03:09:04,510 --> 03:09:06,030
and the small padded jacket.

3056
03:09:06,270 --> 03:09:08,990
- Can't we get 9.5?
- Nope, 9¥.

3057
03:09:09,310 --> 03:09:11,470
We hoped to make 90k together,
it'll be 70.

3058
03:09:11,710 --> 03:09:13,310
No-one's making money this year.

3059
03:09:13,950 --> 03:09:15,790
Are the denim rates all frozen?

3060
03:09:16,270 --> 03:09:18,750
- Finished talking?
- Nothing more to discuss.

3061
03:09:18,990 --> 03:09:21,070
Do you guys upstairs agree?

3062
03:09:21,790 --> 03:09:23,390
They're figuring the totals now.

3063
03:09:23,630 --> 03:09:24,990
Bargaining's on hold.

3064
03:09:25,550 --> 03:09:26,910
Jing's not saying anything.

3065
03:09:27,070 --> 03:09:30,190
The Mickey Mouse isn't settled
and the boss has gone,

3066
03:09:30,350 --> 03:09:32,830
says he doesn't
want to discuss it.

3067
03:09:32,990 --> 03:09:35,390
So it's still up in the air.

3068
03:09:36,910 --> 03:09:38,190
Now it's up to you.

3069
03:09:38,430 --> 03:09:40,990
- He can't give us 4? Only 3.5?
- Right.

3070
03:09:41,470 --> 03:09:43,390
And only 9.5
for the padded jackets.

3071
03:09:44,110 --> 03:09:46,510
That's it. He just wants
to pay and close up.

3072
03:09:46,670 --> 03:09:48,590
He left before we'd finished.

3073
03:09:49,310 --> 03:09:52,430
- We should get 3.5 plus a bit.
- Plus nothing, he says.

3074
03:09:53,070 --> 03:09:55,790
He won't budge from 3.5,
let alone the rest.

3075
03:09:56,030 --> 03:09:58,750
You wanted to focus
on the high-run model.

3076
03:09:58,990 --> 03:10:00,510
And nothing about the others.

3077
03:10:02,590 --> 03:10:05,070
I wanted to ask for 10c
on the collar items.

3078
03:10:05,310 --> 03:10:08,670
We've been at it since 6 am,
another whole day for a 10c raise.

3079
03:10:13,310 --> 03:10:14,990
And this one...

3080
03:10:15,790 --> 03:10:18,590
Shit, it's just like last year.
Let's just get paid.

3081
03:10:26,830 --> 03:10:29,790
Fuck, not even 21,000.

3082
03:10:32,030 --> 03:10:34,750
Plus 667 here...

3083
03:10:38,590 --> 03:10:41,470
- Minus this...
- Plus 10, plus 600 for travel.

3084
03:10:42,670 --> 03:10:44,990
Add it up.

3085
03:10:50,030 --> 03:10:51,710
Fuck me, just over 20,000.

3086
03:10:52,030 --> 03:10:53,150
20,008 and 60 cents.

3087
03:10:57,230 --> 03:10:58,990
Fucking peanuts.

3088
03:11:00,590 --> 03:11:02,270
Uh-huh.
You've settled? Great.

3089
03:11:06,990 --> 03:11:09,070
I'll be there in a minute.

3090
03:11:11,310 --> 03:11:13,070
Buy what?

3091
03:11:16,430 --> 03:11:18,190
I'll be right over.

3092
03:11:18,670 --> 03:11:19,630
Let's go.

3093
03:11:20,990 --> 03:11:22,910
Not me, I'm busy.

3094
03:11:27,150 --> 03:11:30,270
Don't lose hope.
You said he'd agree.

3095
03:11:33,230 --> 03:11:34,830
17,000, that sound
a lot to you?

3096
03:11:34,990 --> 03:11:37,150
It's less than was making
in my teens.

3097
03:11:37,390 --> 03:11:40,190
was making 40 or 50,000 a year.

3098
03:11:45,070 --> 03:11:46,830
If he won't budge,
too bad.

3099
03:11:47,070 --> 03:11:49,470
I'm thinking,
it's still better than last year.

3100
03:11:49,630 --> 03:11:52,270
I went into business
and lost money.

3101
03:11:53,710 --> 03:11:54,990
So I'm doing a bit better.

3102
03:11:55,230 --> 03:11:58,030
At least I've got cash to spend
Last year I was so broke

3103
03:11:58,190 --> 03:12:01,550
I had to haul bricks
on a building site

3104
03:12:02,270 --> 03:12:05,790
Really hard. I did that for
around two months,

3105
03:12:06,270 --> 03:12:07,790
hauling those bricks.

3106
03:13:07,390 --> 03:13:09,310
This is my girlfriend Yiqun's shop.

3107
03:13:09,710 --> 03:13:11,390
They're all still in bed.

3108
03:13:11,710 --> 03:13:14,430
Just two people working,

3109
03:13:15,070 --> 03:13:16,430
it's a joke.

3110
03:13:21,680 --> 03:13:25,661
{\an8}XIAO WEI,
25, from Xuancheng, Anhui Province

3111
03:13:22,750 --> 03:13:24,990
Two workers in such a huge shop,

3112
03:13:25,470 --> 03:13:27,470
the boss must be losing
money big time.

3113
03:13:27,950 --> 03:13:30,830
How much can they produce?

3114
03:13:48,110 --> 03:13:50,910
That cousin of mine
didn't wait for the negotiation,

3115
03:13:51,150 --> 03:13:53,390
She just took her money
and split.

3116
03:13:54,430 --> 03:13:56,830
Took the boss's first offer

3117
03:13:57,070 --> 03:13:58,750
and got on the train.

3118
03:14:00,350 --> 03:14:02,110
Lucky that this year

3119
03:14:02,270 --> 03:14:04,350
she's in my workshop.

3120
03:14:04,590 --> 03:14:05,630
In any other place,

3121
03:14:05,870 --> 03:14:08,670
they'd beat the shit out of her.

3122
03:14:09,710 --> 03:14:11,390
Just looked out for herself.

3123
03:14:11,630 --> 03:14:13,710
Any shop, the way things are now,

3124
03:14:13,870 --> 03:14:16,110
she'd get beaten up.

3125
03:14:19,790 --> 03:14:22,510
They worked really hard all year,

3126
03:14:23,870 --> 03:14:25,550
could have got
a few thousand more,

3127
03:14:26,190 --> 03:14:27,710
but she just throws it away.

3128
03:14:27,950 --> 03:14:29,230
She doesn't care.

3129
03:14:29,550 --> 03:14:31,790
We all need more money.

3130
03:14:35,630 --> 03:14:36,670
If it wasn't for her,

3131
03:14:36,830 --> 03:14:39,230
could have got
a thousand more

3132
03:14:39,390 --> 03:14:40,830
No problem.

3133
03:14:41,630 --> 03:14:43,150
Fang Fang was furious,

3134
03:14:43,390 --> 03:14:44,910
and they had a fight.

3135
03:14:45,470 --> 03:14:48,350
We ended up spending
the night in a  police cell.

3136
03:14:52,910 --> 03:14:53,870
Nice end to payday,

3137
03:14:54,030 --> 03:14:56,590
all of us in the lockup.

3138
03:15:04,430 --> 03:15:06,590
Those cells aren't so bad
in the daytime,

3139
03:15:07,070 --> 03:15:08,910
but at night you can freeze to death,

3140
03:15:09,470 --> 03:15:11,950
if they  want to keep you there.

3141
03:15:13,870 --> 03:15:16,750
I made 50,000 more
than that last year.

3142
03:15:16,520 --> 03:15:20,497
{\an8}LIU HUAN,
18, from Wenshan, Yunnan Province

3143
03:15:17,950 --> 03:15:18,910
And this year?

3144
03:15:19,070 --> 03:15:20,750
What did you make last year?

3145
03:15:20,680 --> 03:15:24,662
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 85 GUANGZHOU ROAD, ZHILI

3146
03:15:20,990 --> 03:15:22,750
You still here, Xiao Wei?

3147
03:15:22,910 --> 03:15:25,310
Why go home?
Nothing to do there.

3148
03:15:25,550 --> 03:15:26,510
And your Ma?

3149
03:15:26,750 --> 03:15:30,270
She went home today.
But I'll go tonight.

3150
03:15:33,070 --> 03:15:34,830
You guys are doing alright.

3151
03:15:33,600 --> 03:15:37,597
{\an8}ZHANG HONGQING,
24, from Wenshan, Yunnan Province

3152
03:15:34,990 --> 03:15:36,670
At least you got paid,

3153
03:15:36,910 --> 03:15:38,430
you can take a break here.

3154
03:15:38,670 --> 03:15:41,550
We're stuck,
we can't get our money.

3155
03:15:44,270 --> 03:15:47,070
I must admit
we've had better luck.

3156
03:15:49,310 --> 03:15:50,190
For sure.

3157
03:15:50,430 --> 03:15:53,230
Making those short pants
is easier,

3158
03:15:53,470 --> 03:15:55,470
and no trouble getting paid.

3159
03:15:55,630 --> 03:15:57,630
And you got 30,000 each.

3160
03:15:57,870 --> 03:16:01,070
In our shop, five of us
have to share 80,000.

3161
03:16:01,310 --> 03:16:03,550
That's like around 16,000 each

3162
03:16:03,790 --> 03:16:05,310
for four months' work!

3163
03:16:05,870 --> 03:16:07,070
We did three months.

3164
03:16:07,390 --> 03:16:08,830
That's right.

3165
03:16:09,070 --> 03:16:10,350
That works out at, what,

3166
03:16:10,510 --> 03:16:12,510
10,000 a month?

3167
03:16:12,750 --> 03:16:14,590
That's double what we got.

3168
03:16:14,830 --> 03:16:16,590
You know what rate we got?

3169
03:16:16,830 --> 03:16:20,350
1.7¥ a piece!

3170
03:16:20,510 --> 03:16:22,590
Even for the really hard items

3171
03:16:22,750 --> 03:16:24,990
that take a day for a few dozen.

3172
03:16:25,230 --> 03:16:26,750
How can we live on that?

3173
03:16:26,910 --> 03:16:29,230
Five or six of us
can only make

3174
03:16:29,470 --> 03:16:30,670
100 pieces a day.

3175
03:16:31,230 --> 03:16:33,630
1.7 for a really difficult model.

3176
03:16:33,870 --> 03:16:37,870
Same rate for all pieces,
however hard to make.

3177
03:16:38,190 --> 03:16:40,350
And they're big, too,

3178
03:16:40,590 --> 03:16:41,950
long pants, large sizes.

3179
03:16:42,190 --> 03:16:43,630
5 people sharing 80,000,

3180
03:16:43,870 --> 03:16:45,950
after expenses, what's left?

3181
03:16:46,190 --> 03:16:48,190
Not much for a season's work.

3182
03:16:48,350 --> 03:16:50,270
Send people home
with little...

3183
03:16:50,430 --> 03:16:52,910
What about travel expenses?

3184
03:16:53,310 --> 03:16:54,750
For the train here,

3185
03:16:54,990 --> 03:16:56,430
we paid 7 or 800.

3186
03:16:56,590 --> 03:16:58,590
So, 1000-plus for a return trip.

3187
03:16:58,750 --> 03:17:01,230
- So what's left for you?
- Right,

3188
03:17:01,470 --> 03:17:03,790
for five of us,

3189
03:17:04,030 --> 03:17:06,590
that's over 4,000 for travel.

3190
03:17:06,830 --> 03:17:08,750
Plus food and drinks on the way,

3191
03:17:08,990 --> 03:17:14,110
the whole trip takes about
thirty hours each way!

3192
03:17:14,430 --> 03:17:17,630
And we still have debts
to pay off back home.

3193
03:17:17,870 --> 03:17:19,870
A big loan from the family,

3194
03:17:20,110 --> 03:17:21,550
that I have to pay back.

3195
03:17:21,710 --> 03:17:24,030
They're waiting for the money
back home.

3196
03:17:24,190 --> 03:17:26,510
- The creditors
- We built a house!

3197
03:17:26,750 --> 03:17:28,430
- Just finished it.
- Huge debts.

3198
03:17:28,590 --> 03:17:29,870
I'm afraid so.

3199
03:17:32,350 --> 03:17:34,510
Home loans
are repaid monthly, surely?

3200
03:17:35,710 --> 03:17:37,470
We built it ourselves.

3201
03:17:39,390 --> 03:17:42,830
- You built your own house?
- Yes, we spent half a million.

3202
03:17:43,390 --> 03:17:45,790
The boss says, take it or leave it.

3203
03:17:46,030 --> 03:17:47,070
I'm paying you, and

3204
03:17:47,310 --> 03:17:49,390
you'll get what I say you get.

3205
03:17:49,550 --> 03:17:50,910
That's it.

3206
03:17:51,070 --> 03:17:52,350
That boss of yours

3207
03:17:52,510 --> 03:17:54,830
sounds pretty bad.

3208
03:17:55,310 --> 03:17:57,790
Yours was the first shop I tried

3209
03:17:58,030 --> 03:18:00,510
when I was looking for work.

3210
03:18:00,990 --> 03:18:04,030
So I remember her,
she didn't seem on the level,

3211
03:18:04,350 --> 03:18:05,310
so I passed.

3212
03:18:05,550 --> 03:18:08,270
You were right.

3213
03:18:20,910 --> 03:18:23,070
- My place.
- No.

3214
03:19:02,360 --> 03:19:06,350
{\an8}JIN YIQUN,
25, from Wangjiang, Anhui Province
Xiao Wei's girlfriend

3215
03:19:06,350 --> 03:19:08,590
We need to charge our phones.

3216
03:19:09,230 --> 03:19:10,510
The charger's in the bag.

3217
03:19:14,190 --> 03:19:15,230
What day is it?

3218
03:19:15,470 --> 03:19:17,310
- Monday, right?
- It's Sunday.

3219
03:19:17,550 --> 03:19:18,830
- Sunday...
- Yup.

3220
03:19:19,070 --> 03:19:20,590
Maybe there's
a poker game,

3221
03:19:20,750 --> 03:19:22,670
"Burn the Golden Flower!"

3222
03:19:24,350 --> 03:19:26,110
If they're playing tonight,

3223
03:19:26,270 --> 03:19:28,190
I'll go for sure.

3224
03:19:40,030 --> 03:19:42,430
My battery was completely dead.

3225
03:19:49,070 --> 03:19:51,710
Let's see what's new at the shop.

3226
03:20:19,150 --> 03:20:20,910
See what they're saying.

3227
03:20:21,440 --> 03:20:25,432
{\an8}WORKSHOP AT 85 GUANGZHOU ROAD, ZHILI

3228
03:20:48,670 --> 03:20:49,950
She's not giving an inch.

3229
03:20:50,110 --> 03:20:53,950
Looks like another night
waiting here with a blanket.

3230
03:20:55,390 --> 03:20:58,750
The boss just sits there
playing with her computer.

3231
03:21:17,470 --> 03:21:19,390
Hey, it's dark!

3232
03:21:17,960 --> 03:21:21,951
{\an8}LIU GANG,
22, from Wenchan, Yunnan Province
Zhang Hongqing's husband

3233
03:21:20,510 --> 03:21:22,430
Well, it's night already.

3234
03:21:45,960 --> 03:21:49,949
{\an8}LIU HUAN
Younger brother of Liu Gang

3235
03:21:54,830 --> 03:21:57,390
The lowest rate in Zhili is 2.50

3236
03:21:58,030 --> 03:21:59,150
No-one pays less.

3237
03:21:59,390 --> 03:22:02,270
- Even 2.50 would be rock bottom.
- She won't budge.

3238
03:22:05,790 --> 03:22:06,750
Let's see.

3239
03:22:06,910 --> 03:22:09,150
That would give us 102,000.

3240
03:22:09,390 --> 03:22:11,550
102,300.

3241
03:22:11,710 --> 03:22:13,470
That would be a bit better.

3242
03:22:13,630 --> 03:22:15,070
- Much better.
- But hey,

3243
03:22:15,310 --> 03:22:16,590
can't she even add 50c?

3244
03:22:16,750 --> 03:22:18,670
- We could try for 2.3.
- Divide by 4.

3245
03:22:18,830 --> 03:22:20,350
and one third...

3246
03:22:20,590 --> 03:22:21,870
so that would mean

3247
03:22:22,110 --> 03:22:24,190
5,900 more for us.

3248
03:22:24,670 --> 03:22:25,630
Let's aim for that.

3249
03:22:25,790 --> 03:22:27,950
- I should have joined in.
- Try with 2.2.

3250
03:22:28,190 --> 03:22:30,510
- So make a suggestion!
- Try 2.2.

3251
03:22:30,750 --> 03:22:32,270
Try that.
But no lower, ok!

3252
03:22:32,510 --> 03:22:34,270
At 2.2, we get 5,500 more.

3253
03:22:34,670 --> 03:22:36,430
Ten cents more gets you 4,000¥.

3254
03:22:36,670 --> 03:22:37,950
4,000, you realize?

3255
03:22:38,110 --> 03:22:40,750
Some nights I even did overtime,
cutting fabric.

3256
03:22:40,910 --> 03:22:43,410
Actually 4,400.

3257
03:23:13,310 --> 03:23:14,910
Hang on just a minute.

3258
03:23:28,910 --> 03:23:30,190
Ok, so she paid up.

3259
03:23:30,350 --> 03:23:32,270
Just much less than last year.

3260
03:23:32,590 --> 03:23:34,430
What rate did she
give you in the end?

3261
03:23:34,670 --> 03:23:36,190
1.95.

3262
03:23:38,350 --> 03:23:41,150
We made 40,000 less this year.

3263
03:23:56,350 --> 03:23:58,510
Here, lock this in your safe.

3264
03:23:58,990 --> 03:24:01,550
Put it all together.

3265
03:24:01,710 --> 03:24:04,110
usually don't bother
to change workshops.

3266
03:24:04,270 --> 03:24:07,150
Are you wearing those shoes, Uncle?

3267
03:24:36,680 --> 03:24:40,667
{\an8}YUAN ZHENGFANG,
48, from Wenshan, Yunnan Province
Liu Gang's mother

3268
03:24:42,990 --> 03:24:44,110
Which shoes?

3269
03:24:44,430 --> 03:24:46,830
It's cold, I've added a layer.

3270
03:24:48,430 --> 03:24:50,110
- Let's go then.
- Yup.

3271
03:24:50,510 --> 03:24:51,630
Turn the lights off.

3272
03:25:20,990 --> 03:25:22,990
He said wait here.

3273
03:25:30,670 --> 03:25:32,030
Can't see a thing.

3274
03:25:33,070 --> 03:25:34,670
The driver said to wait here,

3275
03:25:34,830 --> 03:25:36,350
and not to move.

3276
03:25:54,590 --> 03:25:56,830
offered 10¥ more,
he'll take us.

3277
03:25:57,150 --> 03:25:59,070
- I made a deal.
- He won't come.

3278
03:25:59,230 --> 03:26:01,630
- He didn't hear you.
- Could be.

3279
03:26:01,870 --> 03:26:02,750
He won't take us.

3280
03:26:02,990 --> 03:26:05,950
He's not licensed,
said he could be fined.

3281
03:26:06,270 --> 03:26:07,950
Yeah, so we would pay more.

3282
03:26:08,350 --> 03:26:11,390
He said, who are you, Xi Jinping?

3283
03:26:12,750 --> 03:26:14,750
No, look, there he is!

3284
03:26:14,990 --> 03:26:16,430
Where's he going?

3285
03:26:16,590 --> 03:26:19,070
He has to turn around,

3286
03:26:19,630 --> 03:26:21,070
he's on his way.

3287
03:26:21,230 --> 03:26:23,150
Where's he going to turn?

3288
03:26:23,870 --> 03:26:25,470
Can you see?

3289
03:26:25,710 --> 03:26:28,350
There'll be a place up ahead.

3290
03:26:28,750 --> 03:26:32,510
- How far does he have to go?
- Maybe a little way.

3291
03:26:34,830 --> 03:26:37,070
He can turn behind that building

3292
03:26:37,390 --> 03:26:39,550
Right, he can go around it.

3293
03:26:52,670 --> 03:26:54,190
Trouble getting out of bed?

3294
03:26:54,350 --> 03:26:56,670
Too early for you?

3295
03:26:57,230 --> 03:26:58,670
Hmm?

3296
03:26:59,470 --> 03:27:00,990
Am I right?

3297
03:27:01,870 --> 03:27:03,310
It was a bit hard.

3298
03:27:03,470 --> 03:27:04,590
Well, I managed it.

3299
03:27:04,750 --> 03:27:06,590
I was up when your dad called.

3300
03:27:08,990 --> 03:27:10,590
You kept saying, it's too early.

3301
03:27:10,830 --> 03:27:13,950
I thought you would
know the bus times.

3302
03:27:21,230 --> 03:27:22,830
Where's your stop, sir?

3303
03:27:24,030 --> 03:27:24,990
Si Dui!

3304
03:27:25,150 --> 03:27:26,270
- Where?
- Si Dui!

3305
03:27:26,430 --> 03:27:28,430
- Si Dui stop!
- Right.

3306
03:27:28,590 --> 03:27:30,750
Be sure not to miss it!

3307
03:27:38,590 --> 03:27:41,470
You should get a silver earring.

3308
03:27:41,950 --> 03:27:43,870
I don't like to wear silver.

3309
03:27:44,750 --> 03:27:46,670
Jade or gold, but not silver.

3310
03:27:46,910 --> 03:27:49,630
- No silver for me.
- Gold, then.

3311
03:27:49,870 --> 03:27:51,150
Hey! This is my stop!

3312
03:27:52,030 --> 03:27:54,110
- Not yet, I'll tell you when!
- Slow down!

3313
03:27:54,350 --> 03:27:56,590
- Are we there yet?
- It's just up ahead.

3314
03:28:14,350 --> 03:28:16,110
Alright, here we are.

3315
03:28:16,510 --> 03:28:18,270
- This is it!
- Here we are.

3316
03:28:29,150 --> 03:28:30,350
Which way?

3317
03:28:34,160 --> 03:28:38,153
{\an8}LANGXI COUNTY, ANQING DISTRICT, ANHUI

3318
03:28:47,230 --> 03:28:48,750
So annoying.

3319
03:28:48,990 --> 03:28:50,510
What are you pinching me for?

3320
03:28:50,750 --> 03:28:51,950
You stood me up.

3321
03:28:52,110 --> 03:28:53,390
Unreliable.

3322
03:28:53,630 --> 03:28:55,470
You deserve it.

3323
03:29:00,990 --> 03:29:03,710
Didn't you say
it was on a main road?

3324
03:29:04,430 --> 03:29:06,910
We use bikes to get around,

3325
03:29:07,150 --> 03:29:08,830
- Really handy.
- Handy my ass,

3326
03:29:09,070 --> 03:29:11,070
you're walking me to death.

3327
03:29:11,470 --> 03:29:14,750
Lucky it's only drizzle.
If it really rains, I'll be soaked.

3328
03:29:14,990 --> 03:29:17,390
No you won't,
we have umbrellas at home.

3329
03:29:47,960 --> 03:29:51,945
{\an8}HOME OF XIAO WEI

3330
03:30:00,280 --> 03:30:04,264
{\an8}Xiao Wei's father

3331
03:30:53,310 --> 03:30:55,470
I'm taller than you, little guy.

3332
03:30:55,630 --> 03:30:56,590
I like that.

3333
03:30:56,830 --> 03:30:58,510
You're not taller.

3334
03:30:59,710 --> 03:31:01,630
I am so, Shorty.

3335
03:31:01,790 --> 03:31:03,470
- This way I can bully you.
- Huh.

3336
03:31:03,710 --> 03:31:07,390
If you were taller,
I couldn't bully you.

3337
03:31:08,190 --> 03:31:10,350
If it was me,
I still wouldn't bully you.

3338
03:31:12,110 --> 03:31:13,470
do bully you, though.

3339
03:31:13,630 --> 03:31:15,950
These slippers
are too big

3340
03:31:16,190 --> 03:31:17,096
- Are they?
- Yes.

3341
03:31:17,390 --> 03:31:18,510
I like them roomy.

3342
03:31:18,670 --> 03:31:20,190
How do you know they're too big?

3343
03:31:20,430 --> 03:31:22,110
Here they're all
size 5 or bigger.

3344
03:31:22,350 --> 03:31:24,030
- No choice.
- You're kidding me?

3345
03:31:25,550 --> 03:31:27,710
You and me have the smallest feet.

3346
03:31:27,870 --> 03:31:29,630
My ma's feet are bigger.

3347
03:31:31,310 --> 03:31:32,350
Ma!

3348
03:31:33,070 --> 03:31:34,910
Ma? Have you made dinner yet?

3349
03:31:35,310 --> 03:31:36,510
No, I thought you said

3350
03:31:36,670 --> 03:31:37,950
you wanted to cook.

3351
03:31:49,150 --> 03:31:52,830
Go on, Xiao Wei.
want to taste your cooking.

3352
03:32:13,230 --> 03:32:15,710
Looks a bit dodgy to me.

3353
03:32:15,950 --> 03:32:16,750
Use a big bowl.

3354
03:32:16,990 --> 03:32:19,550
- Bring the soy sauce.
- Use the bowls.

3355
03:32:20,350 --> 03:32:22,750
- Did you add the soy sauce?
- Of course I did.

3356
03:32:23,070 --> 03:32:25,710
It needs soy sauce.

3357
03:32:26,190 --> 03:32:28,670
That's enough to
serve the guests.

3358
03:32:29,150 --> 03:32:31,630
You two eat what's left.

3359
03:32:33,470 --> 03:32:34,510
The bowl's full.

3360
03:32:34,750 --> 03:32:36,990
Go and have a drink,
serve the rest later.

3361
03:32:38,190 --> 03:32:39,710
Take the food upstairs.

3362
03:32:44,040 --> 03:32:48,020
{\an8}SUN XIAOXIAO
Xiao Wei's mother

3363
03:32:46,590 --> 03:32:48,270
No bamboo shoots?

3364
03:32:48,510 --> 03:32:50,830
No, it doesn't go together.

3365
03:33:08,670 --> 03:33:09,950
What are you smiling at?

3366
03:33:10,110 --> 03:33:12,350
Oh, can't I smile now?

3367
03:33:12,590 --> 03:33:13,870
Great.

3368
03:33:19,230 --> 03:33:21,230
Can't even untie a ribbon.

3369
03:33:21,470 --> 03:33:23,550
Poor helpless thing.

3370
03:33:25,070 --> 03:33:28,030
What would I know
about ribbons?

3371
03:33:30,030 --> 03:33:31,790
Are we going visiting today?

3372
03:33:31,950 --> 03:33:32,350
Let's go upstairs,

3373
03:33:32,590 --> 03:33:34,670
have a drink.

3374
03:33:34,910 --> 03:33:36,350
No-one around to visit.

3375
03:34:31,390 --> 03:34:32,910
<i>I want to know</i>

3376
03:34:33,150 --> 03:34:35,550
<i>Are we drunk, are we crazy</i>

3377
03:34:37,550 --> 03:34:38,830
<i>I want to know</i>

3378
03:34:39,070 --> 03:34:41,710
<i>Aren't we young any more?</i>

3379
03:34:43,470 --> 03:34:44,750
<i>I want to know</i>

3380
03:34:45,150 --> 03:34:47,870
<i>If they're laughing at me now</i>

3381
03:34:49,470 --> 03:34:50,750
<i>I want to know</i>

3382
03:34:51,230 --> 03:34:53,870
<i>Why you're looking so sad</i>

3383
03:34:55,310 --> 03:34:56,590
<i>I want to know</i>

3384
03:34:56,830 --> 03:34:59,470
<i>Does it all end tomorrow?</i>

3385
03:35:01,630 --> 03:35:02,910
<i>I want to know</i>

3386
03:35:03,070 --> 03:35:05,710
<i>Don't let me be the clown</i>

3387
03:35:07,230 --> 03:35:09,870
<i>And those ordinary people</i>

3388
03:35:10,670 --> 03:35:13,310
<i>Walking by sad and lonely</i>

3389
03:35:13,870 --> 03:35:15,710
<i>Tell me please</i>

3390
03:35:15,950 --> 03:35:19,070
<i>Why you cast me aside</i>

3391
03:35:20,190 --> 03:35:23,390
<i>Just common desires,</i>

3392
03:35:23,790 --> 03:35:27,230
<i>Daily silence and sorrow,</i>

3393
03:35:27,470 --> 03:35:32,350
<i>Tell me what makes me strong</i>

3394
03:35:33,630 --> 03:35:34,590
<i>I want to know..</i>

3395
03:35:35,800 --> 03:35:39,783
{\an8}MAGUAN COUNTY, WENSHAN DISTRICT, YUNNAN

3396
03:36:02,030 --> 03:36:04,430
Home now, little one.

3397
03:36:04,750 --> 03:36:06,270
Come to mommy.

3398
03:36:09,870 --> 03:36:10,990
Welcome back.

3399
03:36:11,390 --> 03:36:12,670
Go for a spin!

3400
03:36:28,280 --> 03:36:32,255
{\an8}HOME OF LIU GANG'S PARENTS

3401
03:37:24,990 --> 03:37:26,830
Hey, bring some chopsticks.

3402
03:37:28,110 --> 03:37:29,710
None left here.

3403
03:37:32,270 --> 03:37:34,510
- How many?
- Six pairs.

3404
03:37:51,390 --> 03:37:53,230
Here you go.

3405
03:37:55,070 --> 03:37:57,550
On the bowls or just here?

3406
03:37:58,830 --> 03:38:01,470
Just anywhere, with the bowls.

3407
03:38:03,230 --> 03:38:04,990
Settle down,
or I'll spank you.

3408
03:38:39,310 --> 03:38:40,910
I'm calling them to dinner.

3409
03:38:41,070 --> 03:38:43,950
I'll call them now,
give them time to get here.

3410
03:38:45,870 --> 03:38:47,870
Let's serve the food,
we can eat.

3411
03:38:52,990 --> 03:38:55,470
Come on baby, dinner time.

3412
03:38:57,870 --> 03:38:59,790
They should come
to the table and eat.

3413
03:39:00,030 --> 03:39:01,790
Where are you all sitting?

3414
03:39:02,190 --> 03:39:03,790
Granny, where shall we sit?

3415
03:39:04,110 --> 03:39:06,270
Just wait,
your ma will tell you.

3416
03:39:10,190 --> 03:39:12,030
What's this thing for?

3417
03:39:12,750 --> 03:39:14,750
Take that spoon over.

3418
03:39:16,910 --> 03:39:18,430
Won't be long now.

3419
03:39:25,390 --> 03:39:26,910
Settle down, children.

3420
03:39:27,150 --> 03:39:28,270
Shush now.

3421
03:39:28,430 --> 03:39:32,030
- Mao Mao!
- What a good girl, and so big now!

3422
03:39:32,750 --> 03:39:34,510
- Our youngest.
- Shui Ming,

3423
03:39:38,190 --> 03:39:40,670
come on, Shui Ming.

3424
03:39:42,400 --> 03:39:46,390
{\an8}LIU CHUANG
Liu Gang's father

3425
03:39:48,270 --> 03:39:49,950
Not for me, Mao Mao!

3426
03:40:22,350 --> 03:40:23,790
A bit salty, isn't it?

3427
03:40:23,950 --> 03:40:26,110
- Not for me.
- Well, for me,

3428
03:40:26,430 --> 03:40:27,870
it's a bit salty.

3429
03:40:45,070 --> 03:40:46,990
Any crusty rice at the bottom?

3430
03:40:47,230 --> 03:40:49,230
Didn't manage.

3431
03:40:49,630 --> 03:40:51,630
Who wants crusty rice?

3432
03:40:52,990 --> 03:40:55,150
They can eat spicy, right?

3433
03:40:55,710 --> 03:40:57,230
They're not fussy!

3434
03:40:58,830 --> 03:41:00,030
Don't do that.

3435
03:41:00,430 --> 03:41:01,790
See, she bit you!

3436
03:41:02,190 --> 03:41:03,310
You're bleeding.

3437
03:41:03,550 --> 03:41:05,070
I'm still hungry, Ma.

3438
03:41:05,310 --> 03:41:06,990
You hardly ate any rice.

3439
03:41:07,230 --> 03:41:08,990
There was nothing
to go with it.

3440
03:41:10,030 --> 03:41:12,030
Well, I cooked heaps of rice.

3441
03:42:05,230 --> 03:42:06,510
Doesn't want kissing!

3442
03:42:14,830 --> 03:42:16,830
Hi, on the way home?

3443
03:42:34,750 --> 03:42:37,070
Mm, look at those young vegetables.

3444
03:42:37,310 --> 03:42:38,830
Maybe we could pick some.

3445
03:42:40,990 --> 03:42:42,590
No, these people planted them.

3446
03:42:42,990 --> 03:42:44,030
Which is your plot?

3447
03:42:44,190 --> 03:42:46,270
The other one.

3448
03:42:47,230 --> 03:42:49,790
These are really delicious.

3449
03:42:50,670 --> 03:42:54,030
- Here, take this.
- Look, that's Ma's patch over there.

3450
03:42:56,270 --> 03:42:58,030
Whose are these snowpea sprouts?

3451
03:42:58,190 --> 03:43:00,510
Not ours, we can't pick them.

3452
03:43:01,230 --> 03:43:02,910
I'd love to eat some today.

3453
03:43:03,710 --> 03:43:06,030
Mustn't touch other people's things!

3454
03:43:06,190 --> 03:43:07,790
No, no, not for us!

3455
03:43:08,270 --> 03:43:10,670
- Bye bye!
- She's pulling me!

3456
03:43:11,630 --> 03:43:14,990
And that's the neighbor's patch.

3457
03:43:22,637 --> 03:43:30,846
This film was shot between 2014 and 2019 in the town of Zhili,
a district of Huzhou City in the Zhejian province, China.

3458
03:43:30,871 --> 03:43:39,054
Zhili is home to over 18,000 privately-run workshops producing children's clothes,
mostly for the domestic market, but some also for export.

3459
03:43:39,079 --> 03:43:47,287
The workshop employ around 300,000 migrant workers,
chiefly from around Yunnan, Guizhou, Anhui,Henan, and Jiangsu

3460
03:43:47,400 --> 03:43:53,400
I would like to warmly thank all the workers,
as well as the managers of these workshops,

3461
03:43:53,400 --> 03:44:00,400
for letting my film them at work, in their living spaces, or with their families.
Thank you for your amazing, lively presence.

3462
03:44:00,425 --> 03:44:07,789
And last but not least, a special thank you to all the friends who helped me,
in the five years it took to shoot this film.
