In other words, this May Day is a big celebration for workers around the world, and it is a rest day in exchange for our sweat. But for some people, the taste of this festival is like a dessert with bitter coffee, bright on the outside and mixed on the inside.
Imagine that the May Day of other people's homes is a general mobilization of the whole family, a gathering of friends, and a tour of the mountains and rivers. On the other hand, our migrant workers brothers and sisters carry the livelihood of their families on their shoulders, and for them, the holiday is just a change of place to continue to sweat. It's been a sad day.
Sequence of events
There is such a big brother, according to Fuzhou Headlines, from Baoshan, Yunnan, and three years of sweat condensed into that unattainable payroll. May Day in 2024, a day that was supposed to celebrate laborers, but he came to the brink of despair. When night fell, he wore that hard hat, as if he had put on all the burdens, standing on the high place of the construction site, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, his heart was full of coolness. I only heard him say lightly: "Today is May 1st." Then, that decisive leap shook everyone's hearts.
The video spread like wildfire on the Internet, and the scene on the construction site was unbearable to look at. The exclamations of the workers were mixed with helplessness, and he was urgently helped up, his breath was weak, and the fire of life seemed to be about to be extinguished. The hospital became his last hope, but the critical illness notice was as heavy as the verdict.
In the rumors, the spearhead was pointed at China Railway Tunnel Company, saying that they owed this hard-earned money. Strangely, both the companies involved and the local government have chosen to remain silent, as if waiting for the storm to dissipate.
As soon as this incident came out, public opinion exploded. People are angry, sympathetic, and have a deep sense of powerlessness. On the Internet, the discussion on the protection of workers' rights and interests is boiling again, and behind every retweet and comment is a call for fairness and justice.
The hearts of netizens were struck hard by this incident. "Where is the dignity of the laborer?" "This is not just a tragedy for him alone, but a scar for the whole society. Such voices converge into a force that promotes the awakening of public consciousness.
After all, the world should not allow honest workers to shed tears and blood. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Infinite distance, countless people, are related to me." "Each of us is a screw in the big machine of society, and the suffering of migrant workers is also our common responsibility. May we all lend a helping hand and make the world less indifferent and more warm. After all, love and justice are the most beautiful scenery in the world.
