The real record of working in an electronics factory after 1990, only living like a robot will not be tired!

A Review of Jia Xiaole's Documentary "Factory Youth"

I don't know if you've thought about it.

?

Where are all the children who didn't get into high school?

?

This is an electronics factory in Shenzhen.

?

Rows of iron gates and railings

?

Like a cell, clean and tidy

?

Young faces line up to brush their teeth.

?

After that, they all rushed to the canteen.

?

I ate some breakfast casually.

?

Then he entered the gate behind the factory.

?

They are all wearing uniforms.

?

Wearing the same hat on his head

?

From a distance, it is difficult to tell who is who.

?

In perfunctory and cold slogans,

?

Start their day.

?

On the production line, the rumble of machines is endless.

A cold console is waiting for the arrival of the staff.

?

This factory mainly produces mobile phones.

?

Some people are screwing the screws with a screwdriver.

?

Aim, put it down

?

Align again and then put it down.

?

These mechanical actions are repeated thousands of times a day.

?

Once the action slows down, there will be a stacker.

?

And this will directly affect whether their wages are more or less.

?

Repetitive numbness working mode

?

Let these workers also become talking machines.

?

Come to work here

Most of them are uneducated and unskilled young people.

?

They all come from the countryside.

?

Have no ability.

?

So I can only do some simple and repetitive mechanical work.

?

All the work is from 8 am to 9 pm.

?

Take an hour off for lunch.

?

If there is a lot of work,

?

I don't even have time to eat.

?

Is it time to be tired?

?

You can have a rest.

?

Stop dreaming.

?

In the factory, there are monitoring in all directions.

?

And a pair of suffocating supervisor's eyes

?

Walk back and forth on each console.

?

They have a little power, captain.

?

I have been waiting for a long time in this closed place.

?

Someone must be crazy.

?

Suddenly a worker roared.

?

I want to vent my anger.

?

but

?

After venting, you should continue to work.

?

No matter how angry.

?

Will also be drowned by the roar of machinery.

Besides, a few guys are complaining that fate is too unfair.

?

Why are some people born without food and clothing?

?

You don't have to do anything.

?

And they work hard, but they don't make much money.

?

Next to the girl comfort way

?

Each man is the architect of his own fate.

?

The boy disdains this.

?

People like them.

?

There is no right to choose.

?

Let alone control your own destiny.

?

Even if you want a simple love.

?

But the girl who works in the factory

And I don't like the boys in this factory.

?

A short rest.

?

The factory director showed several female workers Xu Lizhi's poems.

?

"I won't shout, also won't resist.

?

No complaints, no complaints, only silently suffering from fatigue.

?

I only look forward to the monthly 10 gray payroll.

?

By the assembly line, how many days and how many nights.

?

I fell asleep standing like this. "

?

Xu Lizhi is a worker who used to work in a Foxconn factory.

?

Then he committed suicide by jumping off a building on September 30, 2004.

In his works, workers are like ants.

?

There are always capitalists who want to squeeze them to make money for themselves.

?

Several girls can't help feeling.

?

Although they didn't go to the same dead end as Xu Lizhi.

?

But I remembered my miserable life from the poem.

?

Dead factory poets live on paper.

?

But the hearts of these workers have died in the workshop.

?

However, beautiful flowers will bloom in hell.

?

When the boys and girls in the factory take off their work clothes.

?

They are all passionate and energetic young people.

?

For example, Li Xiaomei, known as the "Teresa Teng Factory".

?

She was born with a loud voice.

?

Every time after work

?

She will hold her own concert in the dormitory.

?

Loose sweater, sexy high waist straight skirt

?

Mobile phone as microphone

?

Swing gently with the music

?

She tried to imitate her idol.

?

It's just that there is no flash next to it.

?

There are those messy beds.

Even the crew couldn't help admiring.

?

If I can keep singing like this

?

By next year's annual meeting

?

I'm sure someone will come and dance for you.

?

But after hearing this, Li Xiaomei

?

There is some hesitation on his face.

?

She doesn't know whether she will come next year.

?

Steel mills, mobile workers

?

In this city full of youth.

?

No one will know that this will not be their final resting place.

Jiang Xinyu was also an excellent singer and dancer when he was young.

?

I was attracted by a famous art school when I was in middle school.

?

However, the impulse of love made her decide to get married early.

?

Give up dancing

?

since then/from then on

?

She and her sisters

?

Embarked on a different path of fate.

?

Those little sisters have been dancing.

?

Later, they all married rich people.

?

Live a rich woman's life, even today

They are still dressed in fashion and well maintained.

?

Looks like a young girl.

?

And she and her husband, because there is no culture and technology.

?

I have to fight for my life all the year round.

?

Switch from one factory to another.

?

Even sometimes

?

I have to put up with being separated from my husband.

?

They eat Chinese cabbage in the factory every day.

?

Only in this way can we earn more money for our children.

?

Compared with my sisters in the past

?

Her skin is thin and wrinkled.

Just like their mother's generation.

?

Jiang Xinyu has some regrets.

?

When I was young, my vision was still too low and I didn't have enough knowledge.

?

If I dance for a few more years,

?

Make more money.

?

It wouldn't be like this.

?

But time will never come back.

?

In order to better understand these migrant workers.

?

The directors decided to visit their hometown, the starting point of their lives.

?

A group of people came to Ajian's hometown.

?

In a small village in Guangdong province

?

There are only 100 households in the village.

?

Most of them are old people, and young people work outside.

?

There used to be mountains and water and rich products here.

When he was young, he often swam in the reservoir.

?

Catch fish in the pond.

?

But then a mine was opened upstream of the reservoir.

?

Mine washing polluted the nearby water source.

?

Then a forest fire broke out.

?

Burned a nearby mountain peak.

?

The fire destroyed the surrounding environment.

?

It also ruined Ajian's hope of developing in his hometown.

?

He had to leave his hometown and go out to develop.

?

A factory that does not need culture or knowledge.

?

Become his only way out at present.

?

They thought they had entered the factory.

?

You can change your life.

?

You can make money, get married and have children.

?

But the reality is so cruel.

?

When they walked into the factory,

?

Their dreams seem to have been dashed.

?

Assembly line work

?

Let their brains lose their thinking ability

?

Play virtual games after work

?

It has become their entertainment.

?

Most of the money earned is also invested in games.

?

A sword sits in front of a big gear.

?

Talk about your views on marriage while drinking.

?

First of all, you should have a regular job.

?

Assembly line work can't meet his requirements.

?

Secondly, we should have our own house.

?

And it's the full amount.

?

Do you want to buy a car?

?

Wait until he has enough money.

?

Don't think about getting married until you have money.

?

A Jian's purpose is clear.

?

But at his current salary,

?

I wonder how long it will take.

?

Even in the factory.

?

No education, no education.

?

There is no chance of promotion.

When he first came, he was full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

?

But now, his blood is slowly losing.

?

In order to escape this problem

?

He stays here day after day.

?

Even become dependent on it.

?

And this kind of self-hardship makes the director more curious.

?

In order to better understand their lives

?

Two crew members

?

Started working in factories like these factory workers.

?

Eat together, sleep together

?

Experience a month of real factory life.

?

The first day of work

?

Guo Yuehan is still in a good mood.

?

She thinks this is a novel life.

?

She also does a good job.

?

To this end, she also praised herself.

?

But over time,

?

This feeling is fading away.

?

She also became more and more irritable.

?

The weariness on his face is getting stronger and stronger.

?

I just want to go to bed early every day.

?

Don't want to do anything.

?

Sometimes, she feels like a machine

?

Rely on your own muscle memory

?

Doing the same thing over and over again.

?

After working overtime for a week in a row

?

Guo Yuehan hesitated in front of the camera.

?

There are countless grievances and sorrows in her heart.

?

But because of the director's teacher's face

?

She flinched.

?

Guo Yuehan met a boy in the factory.

?

He always has a smile on his face.

?

Like a bright little sun

?

But one day, she didn't notice

?

The boy's handwriting on the paper is full of negative emotions.

?

Sadness, sadness and anger are completely different from his usual appearance.

?

Looking at this difference, Guo Yuehan's psychology is also changing silently.

?

She has been thinking, if it is really an assembly line worker.

?

So what would you choose?

?

But as soon as the question came up, she felt meaningless.

?

After all, she is not a real worker.

She will leave even if she finishes the task.

?

But these people will still work as usual

?

Insert the card repeatedly, discharge the electricity and cover the back cover.

?

Thought of here, Guo Yuehan completely collapsed in front of the camera.

?

She pulled her hair and sobbed.

?

While crying, I have doubts about my documentary.

?

She thinks documentaries can influence some people and things.

?

Can make people feel warm and strong.

?

But now, she is not as confident as before.

?

She's completely lost.

?

She doesn't even know if she is right.

?

Are you on the right path in life?

?

At this moment, she has the same mentality as those young people in the factory.

Where is her future? Where is her future?

?

Nobody knows.

?

This is a documentary filmed by Guo Xizhi and his students.

?

Take the factory, youth, hometown and diary as the main line.

?

The living conditions of young people in the factory are described in detail.

?

They are the manufacturers of factories in the world.

?

Are young people coming out of the bottom.

?

From the moment I entered the factory,

?

I have been wasting my youth.

?

Repeat the mechanical movement thousands of times.

?

Sent exquisite articles to thousands of families.

?

But over time,

?

They seem to be a machine.

?

In that endless rumble

?

Their movements are becoming more and more flexible.

?

My heart is getting numb.

?

Except for the occasional growl.

?

They'll still be spinning around here

?

Do you want children? When can the couple get together?

?

Why do you stay here when you clearly want to leave?

?

Left the factory.

?

What else can I do?

?

They have been thinking about these problems in their minds.

?

But it soon disappeared like fireworks.

?

flux and reflux

?

Youth is thus consumed.

Unlike previous documentaries, it is completely recorded and interpreted by onlookers.

?

In this documentary,

?

The crew also became part of the factory.

?

Break the barrier of watching the fire from the other side of the bank

?

Only in this way can the observer really walk into the life of the observed.

?

Walk into the inner world of the observed.

?

When understanding the thoughts of young factory workers

?

You will have a deeper understanding of yourself as the subject of photography.

?

As a member of the social division of labor.

?

Have I found the value of my existence?

?

Do you have a clear understanding of your position?

?

And you, as an audience,

?

Do you have the same confusion and confusion?

?

Never enter the factory if you can.
