What is the mentality of those people in Shenzhen, Guangdong who work as temporary workers for a day of fun?

I can really answer this question for you, because I once had such a person around me, and his name is Yang Gang. His name sounds very strong, but his life and experience are not so rigid.

I met Yang Gang in 2006, when I just retired from the army. I went to Guangzhou to look for a job, but I couldn't find a job, but I lost my wallet while taking the bus.

Also lost were his ID card and driver’s license. Now it’s better. I had no education or work experience, and now I don’t even have an ID card or driver’s license, and I can’t even find a job. Also, I have a relative in Guangzhou. He bought a house in a residential complex that just opened. He is the guarantor. Although I don’t have an ID card, the community property management company is still willing to hire me as a security guard and asks me to apply for it later and hand it over. A copy will do.

I met Yang Gang when I was working as a security guard in a community, and I learned about him later. He had been working on construction sites before, specializing in dusting walls. I heard the salary is pretty good, several hundred a day. It's just that he doesn't want to do it anymore because it's too tiring and his body is always sloppy.

We were both around 20 years old at that time, which was actually relatively young, so it was normal for him not to want to work on the construction site.

I stopped working in the community after a month or two. After passing the qualification certificate, I started driving a taxi in Guangzhou.

At that time, the rental fee in Guangzhou was about 67,000 per month, around 2007. The salary was much higher than that of working as a security guard, so I rented a two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs and lived there by myself.

Not long after, Yang Gang stopped working. I asked him to come live with me and look for a job while living there.

He found a job as a security guard in Gome, and soon became a squad leader. Not long after, they seemed to have changed their leader. The new leader didn't seem to think highly of him. He felt it was a bit personal. Once he made a mistake, the new leader asked him to write "I was wrong" 1,000 times or as many times as he wanted. He refused and angrily resigned and returned to my job. From then on, he started working as a professional temporary worker.

I don’t remember the day he started working as a temporary worker with a daily salary. Maybe he felt that he had stayed with me for a long time and hadn’t found a job yet. Sorry, he just found a temporary job. Work, do it first.

But after he started doing this kind of temporary work, he became particularly obsessed with it, and from then on he no longer liked doing regular work. He is also very capable. He found all these jobs online. He has been able to successfully avoid many scams on the Internet and has never been involved in them. He can always find temporary jobs that pay well and are not too hard.

Freedom of temporary work

Although I am looking for a temporary job, I can often get more than 100 or even 200 jobs a day. The income from these jobs is not much compared to finding a long-term job. Taking Guangzhou as an example, the jobs are actually not high. Part-time jobs often only cost 34,000 a month. Even if he works part-time and plays for a day, he can earn nearly 3,000 yuan a month, which is not much less than working a regular job. But it gives me more freedom. I can go to work if I want to, but I can’t if I don’t want to. And there is no need to constantly look at the expressions of supervisors and bosses.

Temporary work is fun

To be honest, the temporary job he found was not like working at a construction site or factory as everyone imagined. The temporary jobs he found were all kinds of weird, and many were even fun.

Let me give you a few examples

Working as a waiter in a five-star hotel banquet hall

Once, this guy found someone who worked in a five-star hotel Temporary job as a waiter. He told me that it was a great experience, and said that he saw a certain deputy mayor of Guangzhou at the time. The waiters there are many beautiful women, all college students, and they can also speak English. They could chat well and even added each other on WeChat.

Finally, he took out a bottle of red wine and said that it was for the deputy mayor to drink. He took it back and let us enjoy the treatment of the deputy mayor of Guangzhou tonight.

I took out my phone and checked it out. The price of this wine was really good, and we had a great night drinking it.

Working as a security guard at a celebrity concert

Once, I found a job as a temporary security guard at a celebrity concert. He still likes that star. As soon as the concert started, he took the pony to the front and sat there to watch. Even when the supervisor came over and scolded him, he didn't care. Meimei watched a concert, and in the end, he was paid without paying his salary. He also said it didn't matter, just buy a ticket. The ticket price for my position is worth more than a thousand yuan, so it's worth it.

Work as an audience member at a TV station

I also work as a temporary audience member at a TV station for many variety shows. In fact, many of the audience members in the auditorium actually paid for it, especially the beauties. They would definitely be seated in the front row, and the price was a bit higher. I once saw a post that specifically looked for videos and photos of those viewers. In the photos, the viewers were crying and showing rich expressions. In fact, they were really "actors."

Supporting the bar

The most exciting time was when I found a temporary worker to warm up a newly opened bar. I asked young men and women to dress fashionably and go to the bar to play. , dance, create atmosphere. Each table has a bottle of wine, and each person also has a 100-yuan consumption coupon. That day, several of us went together, sat at the same table, put the consumption coupons together, and ordered a lot of wine. It’s so cool to play in a bar for free all night and get paid after playing!

Temporary workers can always find many jobs that are fun, easy and pay well. Compared to having a fixed job, it is indeed a lot of fun.

Although I didn’t say it, I could feel that Yang Gang lacked a positive attitude and a sense of responsibility.

This can be seen from the fact that when his leader in Gome asked him to write the three words "I was wrong", he refused directly and resigned. This can be seen from his unwillingness to go to the construction site to fan ashes. It’s not that he can’t make more money, and it’s not that he doesn’t have the ability to do things well, it’s just that he is often unwilling to do it and always has the mentality of muddling along.

I work all day today and lie in bed all day tomorrow. I have never made plans for the future. Maybe I feel that the future is too far away, or maybe I feel too much pressure to shoulder the burden of life. As a temporary worker, he can work day by day, working in a different environment and facing different people every day. The people we face every day are also strangers. Today we are destined to work together, but if not tomorrow, we may never see each other again in this life.

No one will care about you, no one will care about you, and no one will care about whether you have bought a house, whether you are dating a partner, or what you want to do in the future.

As soon as the work is completed and everyone receives their daily wages, they disperse and return to their starting points.

This may also be a kind of escape from life and yourself.

Later I left Guangzhou and returned to my hometown to develop. Yang Gang lived in a miserable state during that period. Sometimes he stayed in small hotels that cost tens of dollars, and sometimes he slept on the side of the road or slept in McDonald's.

Many years later, I got married and had children. Suddenly I remembered this old friend, so I contacted him again using QQ, and he had a video call with me. By this time we were both nearly 30 years old.

In the video, he was wearing a safety helmet and eating a pork and cabbage meal from the construction site. He said he went back to work at the construction site and he didn't want to think about anything now. I just want to save more money and go back to my hometown to build a house and find a wife.

Maybe he has grown up, maybe some things have reached the point where he cannot escape. When it is time to face it, you always have to face it. After all, human youth is limited, and it will be over once it is squandered. , it is impossible to squander it for the rest of your life.

There are many wonders in the world. Isn’t this the Sanhe master of Shenzhen that you are talking about? They believe in the life creed of "one day of work can lead to three days of fun", and they are free and easy but ruined.

In this era of rapid material development, what is lacking is never goals, but people who have the courage to achieve goals. There is such a group in Shenzhen. They are called Sanhe Gods, fast-paced. In modern life, they are a group of derailed young people.

In Longhua New District, Shenzhen, Sanhe and Hisense are very famous places. They are the largest comprehensive markets in this area, because the cost of living here is relatively low, it is relatively easy to find a job, and countless people are burdened with heavy responsibilities. Young people will come here to look for hope in life. Most of them are burdened with debts and do not have high academic qualifications or strong skills. Therefore, they can only work as temporary workers who are exploited by bosses and capitalists. At work, they did not dare to tell their relatives about their experiences in Shenzhen, so they could only keep smiling in front of them.

They only have temporary workers available every two days. Sometimes they don’t have work for several days. What should they do if they are hungry? Some people even sold their ID cards just for a bite of food. The money they earned was relatively weak and there was no possibility of saving money, so they spent their lives when they had money and went hungry when they had no money. If you want to live with your stomach, then find a place under an overpass or a free 24-hour restaurant to sleep, provided that the other party will not chase him away, and then go to a public toilet or other places to wash your face.

Master Sanhe, the place where he hangs out for a long time is the Internet cafe, not for any other reason, just because he can stay overnight cheaply, and he can have a seat to sleep for a long time, and in the game world, they will not be like in reality Such poverty, in the online world, they can be heroes, good at skills, have people following you, and call you brothers, but in reality these are impossible.

The Great Gods of Sanhe are not successful. They have no career, no happiness, no money and status, and even no future. The reason why they became the Great Gods of Sanhe is because of their strong will to survive. The proudest and humblest, they are passionate and in this fast-paced place like Shenzhen, they are god-like existences.

Sanhe has many inspirational slogans, encouraging people to strive, have dreams, and live well. Among them, the most famous one is a banner that reads "Sell an ID card, buy a road of no return."

There are also three "Sanhe goddesses", three generations of Sanhe beauties, I won't mention this one I guess I won’t be able to post it even if I write it.

In fact, how far are we, who are working hard to maintain a decent life in big cities, from the God of Sanhe? Maybe it's just a thought, or just a step away.

His temper is greater than his ability, he only takes three minutes to do things, he has no dreams and no goals, he has enough to eat for one person and the whole family is not hungry, he muddles along and fails.

The mentality of the great gods is nothing more than this.

Many people are not like that at first. They may have been defrauded of money, entered a black factory or encountered a black intermediary. In the end, no matter how hard I tried, it was useless and I didn’t want to work anymore. It’s nice to play games freely, so I’ll give up!
