What are the recent "migrant workers"?

Recently, there has been such a small change on the internet: people greet each other early, instead of simply saying "good morning", they knock out "good morning, migrant workers" with great momentum.

"Migrant workers" is a new stalk. Whether you are a so-called "migrant worker" or not, you should have seen many jokes about the word "migrant worker" recently.

A more representative example is:

Most of these jokes about migrant workers are like this: six points are ridiculous, three points are self-deprecating, and one point is ridiculous.

After Safety Diary and Social Animals, "migrant workers" became the slogan of workers from all walks of life.

I don't know when a powerful "declaration of migrant workers" began to spread in the circle of friends.

Similarly, we have all seen many online hot words belonging to workers: for example, "social animals" from Japan, a simple and powerful synonym for going to work-"moving bricks" ... These words are precise and powerful, and the fire is well founded.

"Migrant workers" is also a good word.

The word "part-time job" first appeared in Hong Kong, which means "employed by people" and is a colloquial expression of "engaged in paid work". It means neutral, neither praising nor belittling.

It was not until the1980s, in the early days of reform and opening up, that this word spread to the south and became popular in areas headed by Guangdong Province. With the upsurge of working in the south, workers from all over the country have rushed to foreign countries, and the word "working" has been widely used throughout the country.

But its meaning has also changed-that is, what we now understand: a temporary, arbitrary dismissal, alternative labor.

At that time, many new words were born: migrant workers, migrant girls and working emperors. ...

Up to now, people have used the word "people" to embellish and synthesize a hot word: migrant workers.

Compared with other people, the word migrant workers is a universal group pronoun, with strength, pride and sense of mission, regardless of gender, region and age.

Many people describe the existence of migrant workers in this way: getting up early and greedy for the dark, holding meager wages and doing hard work. Ordinary reveals pursuit, trying to show stubbornness in humiliation.

This is also the core of the series "Migrant Workers": workers have fun in hardships and recognize the reality.

Most of the stalks of migrant workers are positive, revealing a sense of inspiration of "earthy flavor".

People describe their difficulties freely.

Always comfort colleagues to recognize themselves.

The phrase "good morning to migrant workers" seems to inspire all the motivation in people's hearts.

Self-mockery is one of the main themes around "migrant workers".

Secondly, it is the encouragement of "Ollie".

In the migrant worker universe constructed by such a joke, everyone is a migrant worker in a bad business: paying more, earning less, unable to chew the boss's cake, and unable to get out of bed in the morning.

There are all kinds of pains in my heart, but I have to bend over for a bucket of rice.

However, although the tone is sad, most of the expressions or jokes derived from migrant workers still show a little upward.

Everyone doesn't like work, but everyone is a worker.

The most popular phrase "Good morning migrant workers" is still full of expectations for a new day.

There is a particularly interesting sentence in the stem of migrant workers: that is, we can't wait to fly in the sky, kill two birds with one stone and complain that we are migrant workers.

Like the stalks you see, it also illustrates a phenomenon: people are no longer ashamed of being migrant workers.

Looking back ten years, this is not the case. At that time, people avoided a series of simple titles such as "workers" and "wage earners" and chose to call themselves "strugglers" and "enterprise employees", or white-collar workers and blue-collar workers.

People want to look decent and have a future. There are not only poems and seas in my heart, but also great prospects and opportunities to become CEO.

But with these years, young people have realized the reality, and the requirements for self-address are not so high.

The first word is "moving bricks", which came from Baidu Post Bar. This word originally refers to some manual labor with poor environment and low wages. Up to now, people have directly replaced "going to work" with it.

Then there are "social animals". It comes from "company" and "livestock" in Japanese, which together mean "livestock of the company", referring to some workers who gave up their lives for the company, and is mostly used for self-mockery of Japanese employees.

"Social animals" came to China without acclimatization, and they began to call themselves laborers.

Modern people say they are starting for the company, but in fact they have long since said, "I will fight for my career."

It just said, "Our livestock have gone to move bricks."

As mentioned above, "migrant workers" are also this number. I am afraid that this word will also be regarded as a kind of self-promotion by workers and will be used for a long time.

Similarly, there are many self-dwarfed identity interpretations, all of which show the same sign: most people begin to understand that they are "workers" at work.

This is masochistic lying flat and laughing at yourself.

The reason why I am so willing to laugh at myself is not only because of the relief after knowing the facts, but also because of the heroism of "still loving life after seeing the truth of life".

People gradually realize that most people work together. Do your part and have a meal. There is no distinction between high and low, and there is no difference.

To describe migrant workers in one sentence may be: recognize the reality and give up the illusion, but don't stop moving forward.

The fire of "migrant workers" can also be called a reincarnation to some extent.

It was also in the 1980 s that when the word "part-time job" began to rise, "part-time literature" was born.

To put it simply, "peasant-worker literature" is a kind of literary work written by, for or for peasant-workers, whose essence is to describe their living experience.

Shenzhen, as the destination of migrant workers, gave birth to this kind of literature: a migrant worker who came to Shenzhen published a short story with the theme of working, which made migrant workers all over the country start writing their own literary works.

Poetry is one of the more popular carriers of working literature.

Opening a book of poetry, the works of immigrant poets have distinct characteristics: most of them write homesickness and pain.

Liu, a famous immigrant poet, commented that diaspora, exile, identity crisis and identity anxiety are the complex of almost all migrant workers who have left their homes, and they are also important motifs of "immigrant literature".

Although the literature of working has gradually declined in recent years, it is still continuing. 20 14 Xu Lizhi, a working poet who committed suicide, once touched the hearts of countless people with his poems.

He wrote "Under the street lamp, carrying the sunset home":

I also wrote I Swallowed an Iron Moon:

Today's "migrant workers" story may also be regarded as a superficial return to "migrant workers' literature".

The pain of modern "migrant workers" may not be comparable to that of migrant workers in those days, but for today's people, walking into the unknown steel forest can also be called a spiritual exile.

However, the value contained in the jokes of migrant workers may still not be worthy of being called "migrant workers' literature": they are modern poems specialized on the Internet in China, which are shallower, more popular and more playful. But it still has the function of enjoying crowds and complaining.

Most of us, as laborers, may not be able to write "I swallowed an iron moon".

But it doesn't matter, at least every morning, you can send a sentence:

Good morning, worker.
