The sunset and sunset cannot be retained, and the feet of the Buddha in Yunshan Cannot be seen through;
The ends of the earth will eventually perish, only when the acacia is endless!
Welcome to click on this article and read the experience of this foreign migrant worker, the above poem is my experience of the protagonist of this story, improvisationally given the tone. In the spirit of real pen and ink, to record the epitome of this group of people who went to Korea to work at the beginning of the millennium.
Xiao Bian's hometown is in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, and "One Look at the Three Kingdoms" refers to this place. Here, the Korean population accounts for more than 70%, the Han nationality is relatively small, and the daily communication is a double belt of Xian and Chinese. As for what kind of family the editor is, I will not disclose it here, because it is all Chinese. Due to the linguistic superiority of the Korean ethnic group, in the early 1990s, there was a wave of migrant workers in the city, similar to the early rise from Fujian to go abroad, and as far as the three northeastern provinces are concerned, Yanbian's population should be second to none in terms of labor dispatch to South Korea. I remember when I was young, an average of 1-2 out of ten families in the village would go abroad to work, after all, in that era, the economic income in exchange for selling physical strength was really very objective. The next experience is also a real thing that happened to me, and it is also my villagemate "아줌마, a zhu ma" aunt.
The protagonist of this article, Kim Ji-hwa, is a Korean aunt, hereinafter referred to as Kim Auntie, 58 years old, Yanbian Korean, who went abroad in 2000 and returned to China in 2010, during which he worked illegally in South Korea for 10 years. Before Aunt Jin went abroad, she worked as a farmer at home with her husband, and her main income was mainly based on the cultivation of crops such as corn and rice, as well as some cash crops such as potatoes and soybeans. There is a son and a daughter in the family, and the eldest son, Park Yongde, is one year older than me, and I can be considered to have grown up with the same village. Because before this, a group of pioneers in the village had eaten "crabs", and even bought buildings in the county town. Of course, going abroad is not a simple and fast process, during which there have been many gangs involving fraud, specifically targeting people who go abroad in rural areas. At that time, there were many kinds of going abroad, and the cost ranged from 30,000 to 70,000 yuan at a time: there were 2-3 years of labor dispatch, there were also black boat smuggling, and there were fake marriages and family visits.
After the whole family had been preparing for more than half a year, she had saved enough money to go abroad by borrowing money and grain harvests, and chose to go to South Korea in the form of a fake marriage, and her husband stayed behind to take charge of the family and children. The way of fake marriage, I briefly introduce here, the cost is relatively high, but it is one of the fastest ways to obtain legal status, generally speaking, it is that China's labor women and Unknown Men in South Korea go to South Korea for the purpose of fake marriage, obtain legal work rights, of course, to pay a fee to each other, and this is extremely complicated, and even pay a physical price, after all, Korean men are also white wives. And fake marriage was a relatively sensitive way to go abroad at that time, after all, any man did not want his wife to go over and the other man had something to do, generally speaking, it was still relatively safe, and there were intermediary channels for both sides in the middle to ensure that no forced incidents occurred, but the probability of occurrence was still very large, after all, in other countries, the early period of time had to be at the mercy of others.
The year Aunt Kim went abroad, at the age of 37, she did not return once in ten years, because the rule of law in South Korea is: to be repatriated or returned to China in an illegal capacity, and to be banned from South Korean territory for life. After arriving in South Korea, I met the other man, a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, after completing the formalities and paying each other money, Aunt Jin was taken away by the old man, and did not escape the fate of being forced to have a relationship, extremely humiliating but unavoidable, the rural women of that era, and then the first to the relatively developed foreign country, it is conceivable that in order to make money, in order to improve the future life of the family and children, many fake married women made some so-called sacrifices. The old Korean man, after withholding Aunt Jin's fake marriage and some other documents, exposed his true nature and used the report as a threat, hoping that Aunt Jin would forget her husband and children who were far away in China and live with him. During this period, the old man allowed Aunt Jin to keep in touch with her domestic family at any time, but the recent unbearable matters that happened, Aunt Jin never mentioned to her husband, one is afraid of family worries, the other is that most of the expenses for going abroad are borrowed, and they must first quickly make money to repay the money, do not want to give their husband more pressure, and can only report good news and not worry. After spending half a month under duress, Aunt Jin chose to escape, and she contacted her fellow villagers who had gone abroad before to meet her, and the escape was smooth. She later recalled to her fellow villagers that the nightmare of her escape at that time lingered for a lifetime, more terrible than the South Korean Ministry of Justice to come to the factory to check on people and arrest people, she ran out of shoes, only carrying a large school bag containing a few clothes, she experienced another 4 hours, unaccompanied to escape for her life, the moment she saw her compatriots, whimpering and crying.
Later, she went to the Korean restaurant where she worked in the same village, brushed the dishes and washed the dishes, earned 1.6 million won in the first month, co-authored more than 10,000 yuan, and then set aside a part of the personal expenses, and then sent all the others back to China. More than half a year later, almost all of her hometown's foreign debt was repaid, and Aunt Kim also quit her job at the hotel and went to work at the Busan Association (the general name of the Korean factory), and the income was much higher than before. After escaping again, because of the report of the old Man in South Korea, Aunt Jin has been an illegal immigrant and illegal migrant worker since then, and she has been working every day, she said: Compared with the Korean boss's bad and her own hard life, people's hearts are the most terrible. During that period, many compatriots reported to each other, and they were repatriated to China by the Ministry of Justice, and some were even arrested just half a month later. In her memory, there was a little Girl of Heilongjiang Han in the club, because the language was not very good at the beginning, she was threatened by the Korean supervisor to have several relationships, the little girl's family was not rich, she could only bear the burden of humiliation, and the most uncomfortable thing for the girl was that her family constantly urged her to go back as soon as possible, and she did not care about her living environment in South Korea.
In the three years that Aunt Jin saved money and kept sending money to her husband, the life in her hometown was getting better and better. In the first two years, my husband continued to farm, and in the third year, he rented out all the land of more than forty acres, and took a taxi to the city to fool around, the Korean man himself loved to drink a lot of wine, and her husband became even more aggravated, when I was a child, I often saw Park Yongdeok helping his drunken father to go home, and I also heard that his father was looking for women in the city again. This was also very common at that time, many women who went abroad to work rely on tens of millions of times the money earned by hard work, sent back to China, the men at home spent days and nights, and even messed with the relationship between men and women, and then did not care about how the other party lived hard abroad, and even after cutting off the source of money, insulting them to sell their bodies, this is not what the editor said, it is true.
Due to her special illegal status, Aunt Jin periodically worked and changed cities at the same time, in order to prevent reporting and was repatriated to China. During the period, once the club looked at the legal department in the daytime, chased after the reported fellow villagers on the assembly line, looked at the helpless eyes of the fellow villagers who were later arrested on the car, she was frightened and pale, and then worked until two o'clock in the middle of the night after returning to the dormitory, waiting until 4 a.m., secretly packing up her luggage and going downstairs, hurrying to escape, when the downstairs gate was still locked, she spent half an hour squeezing out of the door gap, she did not dare to gamble with her next time, because there were fellow villagers who were arrested, which showed that the club was extremely dark. In the sixth year of going abroad, her husband who was far away from home, drank suddenly, her son let her hurry back to China, she did not choose to go back, for her in the early stage, if she came to Korea to work for the whole family, then six years later, the husband and wife feelings that have not been seen for many years have long been small and flat, and they choose to continue to stay more for the children.
Xiaobian said in the previous article that my mother is from Qingdao, so later I followed my uncle back to Qingdao, because of the more school time, the contact between the children in the village in my hometown is getting less and less, I remember that in 2009, when I was in my sophomore year, I once called my mother, she told me that Park Yongde died, the one-year-old "Fa Xiao" died in a car accident, at that time I was surprised, I couldn't believe it, it was the only life in my life that died early at the same age. I asked my mother, Aunt Jin, if she had returned to China, and she said that Aunt Jin still hadn't returned.
In the same year, Aunt Jin's only daughter went abroad to study abroad to reunite with Aunt Jin, and in 2010, when Aunt Jin was working as a dry cleaner again, she was caught by the South Korean Ministry of Justice and forcibly repatriated, and her daughter continued to stay in South Korea, when Aunt Jin was 47 years old. After returning to China, my mother often talked with Aunt Jin in the village, and she had the origin of this real experience.
Sometimes think that life is reincarnation, Aunt Jin caught up with the boom period of going abroad, relying on her own patience and hardship, bringing material and financial essential changes to her family in a foreign country, but in ten years she lost the company of love and affection, the successive deaths of her husband and son, and her ten years of good times, what did she get in exchange?
Now Aunt Jin lives alone in her hometown, her daughter married a Korean after four years, because she was repatriated, she can't step into South Korea for life, and her daughter also comes back to visit her relatives once every 1-2 years, that place where she worked for ten years, but left her daughter who missed her day and night and had countless days and nights of fear!
Time flies, paying tribute to this group of Yanbian "a zhu ma" who went to other countries to work hard for the sake of their families and children.
Thank you for seeing the end, I am Mr. Ship, a humble northern man living in the south, I hope that everyone will support the like, attention, comment area exchanges, I will use a little text to record the people and things around me~
