The hottest stalk about Shenzhen people on the Internet is"Make money".
How hard do Shenzhen people work hard to make money?
At 7 o'clock in the morning, there was already a long queue of several hundred meters at the Baishizhou subway station;Shenzhen people love to fight, it seems to have become a consensus.At 12 o'clock in the morning, the Tencent building was still brightly lit;
Before the epidemic "lockdown", many people rushed back to the company overnight, just to carry the computer host home ......
But in Jingle New Village, Longhua District, less than 10 kilometers from the city center, there is a group of young people who are willing to degenerate.
They generally come from inland mountainous areas, do not want to work long-term, and are only willing to work as temporary workers on a daily basis, doing a day's work to earn about 100 yuan, and then indulge in games or gambling until they run out of money.
Usually, they drink 2 yuan of a large bottle of water, eat 4 yuan of noodles, smoke 5 cents a cigarette, and sleep in a bed of 15 yuan a piece at night.
They have no intention of making money and living a miserable life, but they are also reluctant to return to their hometown, so "work for one day and play for three days" has become their tradition.
This group of young people is known as the "Sanhe Great God" because they live together near the Sanhe Talent Market.
But once upon a time, these young people also came to this city with good hopes, but why did they end up becoming the "Three Harmony Gods"? Now, how are they doing?
"Sanhe Great God" is actually a documentary filmed by NHK TV in Japan.
In the documentary, the "protagonists" are mainly a group of migrant workers living near the Sanhe Talent Market in Shenzhen.
They are generally not very old, basically post-80s to post-00s, and their educational qualifications are not high, and they generally come from towns and villages in Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui and other places.
When they come to this city where many young people can realize their dreams in life, the first stop is often the Sanhe Talent Market in Longhua District, Shenzhen.
Next to the talent market, there are also a number of employment agencies such as Haixinxin, which have gradually become a street of employment agencies, among which there are also various black intermediaries.
In 2000, Shenzhen was dominated by labor-intensive industries, and hundreds of "screws" were needed every day on the busy assembly lines of many factories.
The Sanhe talent market is like a transit station, responsible for transporting these fresh blood to factories in Guanlan, Longgang and other places in Shenzhen, or Huizhou and Dongguan.
The scale of the factory varies, ranging from a few dozen people to thousands of people, and even reach the level of Foxconn.
But no matter what type of factory it is, young people have to abide by strict rules and regulations, have to work long hours on the assembly line to do boring tasks, go to the toilet and smoke are not easily allowed, and often have to work two shifts day and night.
They seem to be treated as part of a steel factory, like machines that are constantly roaring, without fatigue or emotion.
Before coming to Shenzhen, Xu Qing, who came from a small county town, only spied into the outside world from his parents and relatives who had gone out to work, and there were opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, and everyone was glamorous and decent.
But when he really came to Shenzhen, he found that the dream he had in his heart had shattered.
In the factory, he often has to work for more than ten hours in a row, and at the end of the day, his arms are sore, his eyes are dizzy, and sometimes he can't stay too long to rest in the name of going to the toilet, otherwise the factory will deduct his meager salary.
Young people like Xu Qing are in a disadvantaged position in their job search and employment, and even if they are treated unfairly, they have no other way but to endure and leave.
After working in this factory for a long time, Xu Qing resigned, returned to Sanhe to find a new job, and then went to the next factory, and when he couldn't stand it anymore, he would leave again.
The more such a procedure is repeated, the cooler Xu Qing's heart becomes.
There are not a few young people like him who are moving from factory to factory.
Every day, the average number of job seekers in the Sanhe talent market can reach more than 7,000 people, and even as high as 2 to 30,000 when the peak period of factory recruitment comes.
So gradually, some young people began to be reluctant to work in the factory for a long time, and only focused on daily work.
Because they had no money in their pockets, these young people would lie down in the corridor outside the labor market at night, and at 5 o'clock in the morning, when the genius was bright, the first group of people would rush to the recruitment agencies, scrambling to get jobs.
It wasn't long before the second group of people rushed out of the corners of Jingle New Village and Internet cafes, sleepy-eyed and in the van to the place where they worked.
Five or six years ago, Xu Qing also gave up his plan to enter the factory and joined the ranks.
At that time, his girlfriend had just broken up with him because he couldn't afford to buy a house in his hometown, and the marriage that was supposed to be negotiated also failed, Xu Qing was deeply shocked, and since then he has become more and more disgusted and hated the factory, vowing not to enter the factory again, let alone be "exploited and squeezed".
After returning to Sanhe, he also worked on a daily basis like the young people who were mixed there, and spent the rest of his time bragging and smoking in Internet cafes.
After the NHK documentary was broadcast, these young people were called "Three Harmony Gods".
Although the reasons why they choose to become the gods of Sanhe are different, no matter what, as long as they become one of them, it is easy for them to be invaded by that negative atmosphere into their bodies and minds, and from then on, they will be so deep in the mire that they cannot get out.
What is a day like for the "Three Harmony Gods"?
In their eyes, there is no concept of time here, whether it is day or night, Monday or Sunday.
Every day when they wake up, if they have no money in their pockets, they will first go to the job near the talent market to find a daily job.
One of the more popular jobs is security guards, as it is the easiest one, as long as you stand and maintain order.
Especially during the epidemic, the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center often recruits security guards, and everyone flocks to the van every time it recruits workers, and the van, which has just arrived, can be full of people almost instantly.
And the least popular is to work as a site worker and express logistics.
Working on the construction site is the most tiring, you need to be responsible for moving steel bars, cement and other heavy work, and there will be people watching all the time, but the daily salary can be 300 yuan; If you are only responsible for cleaning up the garbage, it is the easiest and most relaxed, only about a hundred yuan.
It is not easy to do express sorting, although the work is not difficult, only need to divide multiple express parcels into piles according to the address, and then record them with a scanner, but because the number of express mail is like a hill, they will always have a sense of despair of "no matter how you do it".
After receiving the day's salary, Sanhe youth began to solve life problems such as eating, drinking, lazing, and sleeping.
Although the prices in Shenzhen are surprisingly high, in Jingle New Village, more than a hundred pieces can be broken and divided into several pieces like steamed buns.
Around these young people, a supporting low-end industrial chain has already been formed.
For example, in terms of "eating", you only need to spend 4 yuan to buy a bowl of dried noodles with some shredded pork;
For 2 yuan, you can buy a liter of "clear blue" water;
For 5 cents, you can smoke a double happiness cigarette.
As for "sleeping", it is not a problem, you can buy a bed for 10 to 15 yuan.
Of course, this kind of accommodation environment is also very bad, in a room of more than ten square meters can be filled with seven or eight double beds, the bedding on the bed has not been washed for many years, the room has been filled with foul smell for a long time, and there are a large number of insects.
If you don't want to sleep in a bed, you can go to an Internet café**, a nearby Internet café only needs more than one piece an hour, **only 10 yuan, so many people play games in the Internet café during the day and sleep directly on the seat at night.
If you can't afford to live in an Internet café, then store your luggage at a nearby grocery store, 3 yuan a day, and stay at the "Hisense Hotel" at night - the cement floor at the entrance of the Haixinxin Employment Agency.
In this kind of mixed, densely populated environment, nature has become an "excellent" soil for the birth of gray trade.
The most valuable thing on the Sanhe youth is not their labor force, but their ID cards.
Don't underestimate that this is just an ordinary document, but in the hands of "those who have a heart", they are not too useful.
The first is a person who can be used to register a company.
These companies are generally fraudulent companies, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to use their identities to deal with people, so they spend 1,500 to 2,000 yuan to buy the ID cards of these young people, and some of them have even registered dozens of companies under their names.
The second is that it can be used to open a bank card to transfer money.
After opening a bank card account, the fraudulent company can transfer the money from unknown sources, and then the money will be withdrawn by a special person, and finally transferred to another account, so as to successfully complete the money laundering channel.
The last one is that you can go to major online shopping and online loan platforms to cheat loans.
The gods of Sanhe don't even care about eating, drinking, and Lazar, and it is even more impossible to care about credit, and it is impossible to repay the loan.
In addition, there is also a boss in Sanhe opened a fake mobile phone store, deliberately "cooperated" with the gods of Sanhe, young people first used installment loans to "buy" mobile phones, after receiving the money, the boss and they were divided proportionally, and everyone could make a profit.
And these are the rotten and gloomy and hopeless lives of the gods of Sanhe, and it is no wonder that they call themselves "hanging on the wall" - that is, describing the state of doing nothing every day, eating and waiting for death.
But if after selling their ID cards, they are very different from other Sanhe youths, because once they are involved in breaking the law and committing crimes, the people who are arrested have really changed from "once hanging on the wall" to "forever hanging on the wall".
Therefore, there are some bottom lines that cannot be easily touched no matter what, but for the sake of the small profits in front of them, how many people can still withstand it?
After the broadcast of the documentary, the special group of Sanhe gods has attracted widespread attention and discussion in the society, and at the same time, it has also brought them a lot of traffic and opportunities.
Song Chunjiang, one of the "protagonists" in the documentary, became one of the representatives.
After being instigated by others, Song Chunjiang did a live broadcast for a while, and the content was all about how the god of Sanhe hung on the wall.
At the beginning, many people watched with a curious mentality, and in less than two or three months, Song Chunjiang earned seven or eight thousand yuan.
This work is much easier than the daily work, and soon, more and more people will join this ranks, specializing in live broadcasts in various areas where Sanhe youth love to gather, and some people will also teach netizens how to identify the real Sanhe gods.
But the heat passed quickly, and with the arrival of the epidemic, the curious audience and tips became less and less, and they could only continue to go back to work for the day, and then they didn't know when they might die on the streets, or go to the next place to continue hanging on the wall.
Although this flow can be regarded as an opportunity to make money for Sanhe youth, not everyone is willing to be exposed to the public camera.
Although some people sleep on the streets, they say to their families that they are doing well in Shenzhen, and if they are found embarrassed by acquaintances, then their last dignity will be gone.
So during that time, whenever I saw someone taking pictures near Sanhe, Sanhe Youth would be very excited and ask the other party to delete **, otherwise he would have to speak with his fists.
There are also some people who come after watching the documentary, not with the mentality of hunting, but with the mentality of experience.
From questioning Sanhe, to understanding Sanhe, to becoming Sanhe, it only takes a very short period of time.
"It's the first time I've seen so many people who can live like this," said one of the great gods of Sanhe, "and you don't have to worry about the meaning of life, just live it." ”
Although Sanhe youth can choose to hang on the wall, this is their freedom, but once "freedom" goes too far, it will not be tolerated by laws and regulations and city managers.
Since the end of 2016, the Longhua Sub-district Office and the police station have continued to rectify all kinds of chaos in Sanhe.
After several large-scale "purges", black intermediaries, street women, etc. have almost disappeared, and the hardware facilities of Internet cafes, restaurants, and ten-yuan stores have also been improved, and a group of young people without ID cards have also been taken away.
In 2019, the relevant departments installed a fence near the Sanhe Talent Market Square, and the ID card had to be swiped to enter and exit, and the management was much stricter than before, but there were still some Sanhe gods who were unwilling to leave and secretly climbed over the wall to sleep or find a job.
But soon this trick didn't work, because by 2020, ** directly moved away from the talent market and renovated the nearby houses.
This time, the young people of Sanhe, who completely lost the "shelter", could only choose to leave and move to different places, some went to Longhua Bus Station, some went to Dongguan, Huizhou, etc., but no matter where they went, it was not their home.
Sanhe youth seem to have disappeared in Shenzhen, but many young people from other places still love to work day by day.
However, the reason why they choose to work on a daily basis is not because they want to "work for one day and play for three days", but they feel that they can earn more money without deducting five insurances and one housing fund.
Anyway, I can't stay in Shenzhen, and sooner or later I have to go back to my hometown, so won't social security be wasted? They said, "You can save money by working here for a short time." ”
On their way to work, they can see billboards on the walls everywhere with heroic city slogans:"Here, it's Shenzhen people! ”
But at most, they glanced at it when they first arrived in Shenzhen, and then there were no waves in their hearts.
It is because they know in their hearts that they will never be "Shenzhen people", this is someone else's city, not theirs.
Most of the Sanhe youths have a similar background, most of them are left-behind children, who have been exposed to the Internet since childhood, and are quite yearning for the outside world; At the same time, they have little education or skills, and when they come to the big cities, they can only do the work of selling labor.
But they are fundamentally different from the parents who came to the big city to work.
In the generation of my parents, even if they did not have a foothold in the big city, they were still able to return to the countryside and live on the land, but by the generation of young migrant workers, many of them could not go back.
This "inability to go back" refers not only to the difficulty of finding a higher-paying job when they return to their hometown, but also to a change in their thinking.
After seeing the bright lights of the big city with their own eyes, everything in their hometown makes them feel bored, and the more acquaintances in the society, the more restrictions and requirements will be placed on them, and topics such as making money, buying a house, getting married, and having children will always become unavoidable obstacles.
But in Sanhe, a place where even time has stood still, they don't need to think about these practical issues, and no one will make irresponsible remarks because of this.
Of course, Sanhe young people also know that they are "not successful", and they don't make any money in the big city, so they don't have the face to go back to their hometowns to see people, so whether it is for subjective or objective considerations, they would rather choose to hang on the wall in a foreign land than easily refuse to go back.
With the intensification of urban-rural dualization, the threshold of large and medium-sized cities is getting higher and higher, and there will only become more and more young people like these who cannot integrate into big cities and cannot return to their hometowns.
For example, Wang Jishun, the "bridge cave god" who was very popular in Shanghai some time ago.
At the age of 39, he has a junior high school education, has a criminal record, has been a boss, and has also worked in a factory, and nothing in his life has been very successful.
One day he didn't want to work anymore, so he went to the bridge to be a wanderer, live broadcast his "lying flat" life, washing vegetables, burning fires, cooking, etc., spending only 10 yuan a day, and then using this to earn some reward money.
Later, he became popular, and more and more people joined him, including food delivery, truck driving, daily work, and ...... who failed to start a businessEveryone formed a "camp base for distress".
In fact, they are all like Sanhe youth, they have no goals and pursuits, they don't want to enter the factory, and they don't want to live too tired.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, most of the reasons why they have fallen into the field they are today are because they are willing to degenerate and do not deserve sympathy.
But just as the world is not black and white, there are times when there is no clear dividing line between becoming a "human" and becoming a "god".
Maybe it's because of a mistake, maybe it's because of a major setback, or maybe it's because of a deceived ......
They are already adrift in the big city, but when they suddenly realize that they are unable to change their current fate, they will completely exile themselves, and it will be difficult for them to return to the "human world" from then on.
As bystanders, as long as the way of life of others does not violate the law or cause adverse effects, then we should not blame and criticize them from above, because we will never know the suffering behind others, and we will never be able to empathize.
But what you want to do in the future depends on your thoughts.
Some roads lead to earth, others to hell.
The ticket of life is a one-way ticket, and once you get on a fork in the road, there is no chance of returning.
No matter how hard and tired you are, may you still keep a clear head, and after recognizing the truth of life, you can still maintain your love for life.
