Interview interpretation
In this interview, we see different answers to "happiness" among migrant workers, which not only reflect the real state of their lives, but also reflect their unique understanding of "happiness".
The first part-time worker: "Happiness to do this?" Happiness doesn't do this. Although this sentence is straightforward, it expresses the hearts of many migrant workers. Their work may be hard and their income is limited, but that doesn't mean their pursuit of happiness stops. On the contrary, this direct face to the status quo also reflects their yearning and pursuit of a better life. What they crave may be a more stable job, a higher income, a better living environment, and more respect and recognition.
Second interviewee: (silent) Awkwardly smiled. Maybe it's an expression of helplessness about the state of his life. They may be facing pressures from work, family, health, etc., and feeling happy may seem like a luxury to them. But this is also the problem that our society needs to pay attention to, how to make these silent workers feel more happiness and warmth.
The third interviewee: "Happiness, the country is not strong, is it?" The conditions are also better. This phrase is full of a sense of identity and pride in the country and society. They believe that the strength of the country and the progress of society have created better living conditions and more opportunities for them. This sense of well-being comes from trust and a sense of belonging to society, as well as their positive evaluation and expectations of their own lives.
The fourth interviewee: "It's okay, it's normal, just work every day!" You must be happy to work, but if you don't work, then what's the whole thing! This simple and unpretentious answer reveals the true feelings of many migrant workers. They create their own lives through their hardworking hands, and although they work hard, their hearts are full of satisfaction and fulfillment. They believe that only through hard work and constant struggle can they achieve their dreams and pursuits.
Fifth part-time worker: (laughs awkwardly) This response may stem from a sudden response to a problem or not knowing how to express one's feelings accurately. But their smiles may contain helplessness about their lives, hope for the future, and longing for happiness.
