What does freelancing mean?

In China, freelancers include three types of people:

The first category is small businessmen, such as the owners of individual retail stores, snack bars, printing shops and decoration companies.

The second category is salesmen without basic salary, such as life insurance consultants, real estate agents, advertising agents, direct sellers and so on.

The third category is professionals, such as photographers, patent agents, lawyers, accountants, dentists, technical consultants, management consultants, plumbers, electricians, hairdressers, artists and so on.

Freelancers refer to individuals who have no legal cooperation with the system or investors and have legitimate income, but for new and new people in contemporary cities, they are mostly people who follow literature and art, such as freelance writers, artists, musicians, computer elites, planners and so on.

Of course, with the development of society, the relaxation of system and the progress of technology, freelancers are also expanding into other fields. Scholars point out that doctors and lawyers will become the largest group of freelancers.

Extended data

Freelance occupation has gradually emerged and developed since the reform and opening up. In the past, there was no freelancing. Everyone belongs to a certain enterprise and unit, and few people can leave the organization. No matter how clever the labor is, it is also restricted by various rules and regulations and supervised and interfered by all sides.

Writers' writing is subject to the leadership intention and social situation, and the so-called joint creative group is a freak of that period. At that time, even the profession of lawyer was cancelled. After the reform and opening up, all walks of life have been revitalized, and elites from all walks of life have emerged. People are no longer satisfied with a safe and plain life. Especially in some economic and cultural fields, some intellectuals show strong independent personality, hoping to get rid of the restrictions of "organization" and restore the identity of traditional freelancers. As a result, a large number of "free men" broke through the ground.
