2016 year November 21st, the video of "child labor" produced in Pear video has triggered a hot discussion on the network . In September this year, filmmaker ROK was in a garment manufacturing workshop in Changshou City for 5 days. It took several labor agencies to introduce child workers and recorded the living conditions of several child workers. In
videos, child workers work in small workshops filled with soot, cotton wadding and clothing fibers. They work 15 hours a day, only 2 days a month, only 2000 yuan a month, and most of the monthly wages have been detained by the boss until the end of the year, and even the boss detain ID card, bank card, confiscation of mobile phone, and even the use of violence.
the same day, the Changshou City government carried out a series of investigations overnight. A total of nearly 2000 small workshops and more than 100 enterprises were checked and 10 children were found from poor areas in Guizhou, Yunnan, Henan and other places. When China News Weekly saw them, they were rehoused in a guesthouse by relevant departments, waiting to be returned to the country after a pay settlement.
"the reason for the problem is very complicated. It is not a word" poor "that can be answered. Lao Han, the filmmaker, said to China Newsweek.

2016 in November 25th, the first wave of cold spell in Changshou City, Jiangsu, ushered in the winter. In the hotel, the reporter saw four child laborers. They were Wei Jun Sheng, 14 years old, Li Yi long, 14 years old, Liu Jiefei, 16 years old, and 15 year old Yang Junpeng.
they are wearing new winter clothes bought by law enforcement officers. Though bloated, it is difficult to hide their emaciation. They all have very heavy black eyes.
three children play mobile games by the side of the bed. Liu Jiefei has the highest game series, which makes the other two children envied. They stare at Liu Jiefei's screen and exclaim from time to time. They don't have phone cards in their cell phones, they just play online games and use social networks. The relationship with their parents depended entirely on their mentor, those older than them.
9 months ago, just after the Lantern Festival, four of them took a bus to leave the Guizhou mountain, after two days' drive to Changshu, 1900 kilometers away. Feng Jian, who led their small workshop owner, is now under criminal detention. During the first month of
2016, Feng Jian, the owner of a small workshop making clothing, went to the twelve Mau slope in the double - castle town of Xi Xiu District, Anshun, Guizhou Province, and found his old employee, Wang Ming's house, by calling the villagers who were willing to go to Changshu to work. Wang Ming has a higher generation in this natural village, and it does not bother to convene. Some parents took their children to Wang Ming's house and said that because their children had dropped out of school and had no management at home, they hoped they could take their children out to work. The two sides also talked about good wages. Chen Liqun, a police officer of the Changshou City Public Security Bureau, confirmed that in February 29, 2016, Feng Jian took 10 people from the village, including 4 minors. The
workshop started working at six or seven a.m. until eleven at two p.m., at 11:10 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. every day was the time for dinner, and it was also a rest time, not more than 10 minutes.
"when we first arrived, the boss didn't set the workload. We got off work at 7 o'clock every day and felt very relaxed. After less than 10 days, the workload will be set to 500, then 700, and then slowly added, has been added to 1300, plus it can not finish. " Liu Jiefei, who is responsible for the "waist up" of clothes, told China News Weekly.
Wei Junsheng said that basically a bowl of rice per meal was basically not eaten. In the second half of the year, because of heavy workload, occasionally there was a bit of meat to eat. Every night after work, as long as there is money, the children go to buy a bowl of 5 yuan fried rice, or instant noodles to appease hunger.
because it is a pipelining operation, a turnip pit, the boss once told them seriously that they were not allowed to be absent, and they should be deducted 300 yuan a day for leave.
only Wei Junsheng asked for a day off. "I had a fever that day, and I really couldn't get up." He recalls.
he didn't go to buy medicine, he stayed in the dark dorm for a whole day. He felt lucky that the boss did not deduct his money.
for the undercover, Lao Han went to work in a small workshop for 4 days, and was already intolerable. He told China News Weekly: "this job doesn't seem to be drenched. It's really hard, because it repeated the same movements thousands of times a day. The arms are always carried and the muscles are sore. And the average wage for child labor is only 5 yuan per hour, which is far below the local minimum wage standard.
in Feng Jian's assembly line, the workload of a child worker is no different from that of an adult, but only half of the adult salary. The monthly salary of the class master is around 5000 yuan, while the wages for child labor are 2500 yuan in the first half of the month and 2800 yuan in the latter half of the month. The cost of living is 300 to 500 yuan per half month. The rest of the salary should be withheld until the end of the year, which is the same as that of adults. Feng Jian hired 4 child laborers to pay less than 120 thousand yuan a year for labor costs.
"on the one hand," warm boiled frog "slowly makes the child labor numb, and then cooperate with the way of the end of the year's detention, so that the child laborers dare not escape. The more wages they receive, the more endurance they endure, which is a strategy of the boss. Old Han said.
