I talk about My Life at the Bottom with my own experience!

The highest performing salespeople I work with earn about four or five thousand per month ➕. It's still peak season, when they sell more. But the rent has to be a thousand or two thousand a month. Because Andingmen is on the second ring Road, most employees live on the fourth ring road. It takes two hours to get to work every day. So I say I'm at work by 10:00, but I have to be up by 8:00. They had to stand the whole way to the store and eat in half an hour. If I leaned on the edge of the counter because my back was tired and my legs were tired, the manager would scold me, so I had to stand all the time, or I could only knead my legs when I was in the middle of moving and ordering goods. I was starting to think I was the only one who wasn't used to it and had swollen legs. I work with a fat salesgirl who I sometimes see standing on her left and right legs. I asked her, "My leg hurts. Does it hurt you to stand so long?" . The fat sister said to me: "I also hurt, but time is long used to." This means: not they stand for a long time is not painful, but pain endure for a long time is used to. So sitting on the bus after work, my legs have been unable to touch the ground, a touch of the ground on the pain. I put my legs up on the seat next to me or on the seat back in front of me. It looked unsightly, but the pain was unbearable.

When I got back to the rental house, it was alrady eight o 'clock and I had to cook dinner and wash clothes. It wasn't long before it was time for a night off. And at that time because the school hands not much money so cheap rent house. There was only room for one bed and a broken air conditioner. Beijing in August is the hottest time, sleep at night also can not sleep soundly, move a sweat. And I don't have a family, and three of the four people I work with have families. They have to look after not only themselves but their children. Don't they work hard? They work hard. Not only do they have to stand in pain for long periods like I do, but they have to work hard for performance. Every morning came to the store to clean, count the goods, back the number, back the price, back down on the deduction. As new clothes and activities continue to come in, it is necessary to constantly re-write the numbers and prices. Sometimes I burn my hands because I'm too busy ironing.

Of course, the most important thing is to use all kinds of means to cater to customers, while enduring the odor of sweat to dress customers, whole pants. While to an obviously ugly and smelly old woman, praise beautiful clothes have temperament and so on. Besides these, the main point is the discrimination and disdain of the customers towards the service staff. Your smile will be ingratiating, and your customers will respond unfavorably. Even the slightest careless touch her, she will stare at you, scold you. In the afternoon, there were many people in the store, and the sales sister was busy. A CUSTOMER VOICE small I did not hear her LET me do, I thought she let me pull the chain, so I went to pull the chain she scolded me: "what, listen to what", next to the sales sister quickly come to the rescue. Another time I met a mother with her daughter to buy clothes, listen to the side of the sales sister said that this person is doing translation work. So I made small talk with her when I recommended clothes to the customer and asked her what kind of translation she did. (Because I'm also a language student, I'm graduating soon so I want to learn from this customer). But the mother heard me ask and ignored me. Only when the store manager praised her daughter's intelligence and eloquence did she smile and say, "She likes to talk at home, and her father and I are annoyed." I was depressed. (Elder sister also take specialized eight certificate, as for so despise people?)

But for me this little pain is nothing. Because Beijing is hot in the summer, but the air conditioning in the store is very low at that time. If you've been shopping a lot, you know that the air conditioning in the mall is much lower than the air conditioning we have at work or at home. So alternate hot and cold, I caught a cold, and then happen to have early menstruation, I can not sit down to rest when I go to work. So I had a sore body and a distended stomach. I couldn't stand it, so I had to go to the warehouse to move goods and hide in the shelf to rest, because it was the only place without cold air conditioning, but it still hurt so much, so I cried bitterly. The store manager knew that and let me go home early.

I don't know if it's dry heat or endocrine dysfunction. Ever since I started working, I've been breaking out. Adolescence others have acne on the face, my face is white and tender, I am most proud of my good skin. But at that time, acne kept breaking out around my nose and mouth, so my face was disfigured. Sometimes I covered my face when talking to my boyfriend, afraid that he would see my ugly appearance. There are still remnants of that time on his face. This is also the reason why I chose the south not to stay in Beijing.

The store manager's sister is an old Beijinger, her family has a house, but it can only live in the kind that cannot be sold. When I go to work for lunch, I go to the nearby KFC and Huguosi snacks to buy lunch. Once I had a meal, she asked me why don't you cook your own food and bring it over to eat. How expensive is takeout? So they are used to cooking and bringing meals by themselves, which takes more time but saves money. But I don't remember there being no microwave oven, and I don't know how they get the food hot. So the store manager is a well-paid salesperson but still lives frugally.

So for me, this kind of job means a salesman who sells for a living in a big city. She was on her feet for seven or eight hours a day and had only one day off in a month. Working and getting to work from eight in the morning to eight at night. And work the night shift. It is not only necessary to pay physical labor, but also to remember the price, bookkeeping and other mental work. More importantly, it is necessary to have the emotional intelligence of facing customers and strong psychological quality. Because I had a reasonably prosperous family, and my grandparents were intellectuals. So I can endure the pain, the most unbearable is the other side's cold eyes and accusations. (This may be the scholar's affectation). If every day in the face of pain and humiliation, people can be wonderful mood is strange? So it's tempting to talk dirty and curse people behind their backs.

Therefore, they cannot have the time to study, have the time to progress, have the time to think. Every time they go home, they just want to collapse in bed, not to mention that they have children to take care of and are in a hurry every day. Most of them come from poor families in rural areas, so they work early to earn a living. A salesgirl's dream is to save money and go back to her hometown to open a small shop. But her boyfriend is only an umbrella vendor, and his income is not stable. And according to the current network economy, the brick-and-mortar stores are afraid that it is difficult to make a living. The other was a married shop assistant whose husband was a taxi driver. Born poor and narrow in vision, they go out to work early. However, because he did not have a diploma, he could only do some high manual labor. Pretty girls can work in sales, and ugly girls can only work as cleaners and dishwashers if they are dressed in a rustic way. So they don't have the time or energy to recharge. Charging is a privilege only available to people who work 9-to-5 or have weekends. And because of the circle, they can only marry men who do the same physical work. So we work together, we work together, we feed our families together. Not to mention Social Security, old age equals unemployment.

In such cities as Beijing and Shanghai, ordinary white-collar workers live in a state of narrowness, let alone them. The couple I was renting with had a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant, but who had to squeeze into a secondary bed that held only a small bed and a small television in the summer heat. The narrow aisles make it difficult for her to walk, and she has to commute every day to make a living. So seeing her situation, I secretly vowed that if I was pregnant, I would never compromise myself in such a small room, or I would not give birth to a child and not let the child suffer with me. But in reality the husband and wife that do Dink are economic strength is abundant, poor family meeting LIFETIME regeneration only. Because they have no security on the one hand, they need to raise their children for old age. On the other hand, they are narrow-minded and follow tradition. Not having children or being a woman?

So it's not that the poor don't work hard. On the contrary, most poor people try to make a living every day, but they have to fall into the vicious circle of poverty (of course, this does not include the lazy people, idlers). Society as a whole lacks tolerance for the poor, viewing them as social encumbrances and lazy parasites. I was in Italy, where the waiters were much nicer, in the mood to talk about manicures while serving dishes. As long as they have a job, they don't have to worry about life, and social welfare is guaranteed. Most jobs pay the same, but the nature of the work is different. In France, the government gives a subsidy of 300 euros to a homeless person who keeps a dog, so a person who keeps three dogs has a monthly income of nearly 1,000 euros. White people don't want to have children, black people have more children to get subsidies from the government. So the social context is the fundamental problem. The only chance to change your life is education.

But it used to be possible to change people's lives through education, and now it is much harder to do so. The mothers I study with say: your child has to sign up for all kinds of remedial classes before he goes to school. If you don't let him sign up for classes, he can't go to a good school because he has no special skills and can't get an interview. And in class, others have already learned in advance so master quickly, but you do not sign up for the class you will not be able to follow. My sister teaches in a public primary school. She said, "Public primary schools usually recruit poor children because the fees are low. Rich parents send their children to private primary schools, bilingual education. Competition for private teachers is fierce. Public school teachers are trained, and schools can't fire them if they don't teach well."

And if the same 80, 90 parents should remember, we were not popular parents to help their children to read. But now education depends on mom and dad. Teachers create parent groups and force parents to teach their children. There is a mother said: "recently, my daughter study backward, blame his father these days busy did not help her homework!" . So today's kids are trying their best? No, it's about money and parents. Without classes and parental guidance, children need exceptional talent and extra effort to keep up.

But even so, society cannot give the poor some tolerance. Strutting your stuff in front of the poor. So the incentive is to force women to prostitute and men to steal. Because you can't get a good life even if you work so hard, and you have to get the white eye and discrimination of society. Hong Kong exemplifies the results of this materialistic desire. Because of these experiences, I am willing to respond kindly to the salespeople when I am shopping for clothes. In the face of cleaning the house cleaning aunt, there are missing cabinets not cleaned, their own clean. A boss sleeping too much will delay the meeting, causing the staff to wait for her. Why are we so critical of those who are struggling but struggling?

In fact, for the poor, what they lack is social security, intellectual education and social acceptance. Without security, their efforts have no future. Without the popularization of professional knowledge, they become blind and lack judgment. Without social tolerance, they become marginalized and a breeding ground for criminals. In the United States are also farmers, but farmers are advanced operating machines, although also hard but profitable. Sheep in New Zealand pastures roam the vast prairies and bask in the warm sun, with rapeseed flowers blooming to improve nutrition. When I saw this scene, I had to sigh: "Is the same sheep, the fate of all so different?"

We can't sit on our shoulders and think, who let them not study, who let them not think? The Internet is so developed, check!

My sister's family conditions are difficult, but my sister also has a junior college degree, although she has no money to give her son remedial classes, but every day at home to accompany her son to listen to English to learn English. Because she consciously knew it would work. If I mention the Heimlich maneuver, it's a very simple first aid. But I don't. No one who doesn't know it has heard it. Who would have the consciousness to learn such knowledge without special promotion and dissemination to the public. The farmer knows that listening to who buys what fertilizer makes the land more productive, but no one tells him that the land needs to be reclaimed, and that reducing the yield will improve the yield and quality. As a businessman, my father has a very flexible mind. However, when I paid for dinner with him, I took out my mobile phone and used Dianping to get a discount, and he realized that he could get a discount on some apps. If I don't, he doesn't know or imagine. So the same meal you know can discount, do not know can only pay the original price.

So it's not that they don't want to be rich, it's that society doesn't give them the opportunity to be rich. Africa is relatively isolated and has been living by gathering food and hunting. When the Chinese went there to grow crops, they knew that they could grow food in this way.

I read an article: "US professor writes Letter to Expelled Chinese Students: I should never have Admitted You". In the article, the professor criticized Chinese students for doing things "opportunely" and not being able to settle down to study.

However, in China, there is no environment for students to settle down and do research, study and do things. The whole society is rushing forward, if you stop to learn, but your knowledge will soon be overtaken by the "ingenuity" of others. So Chinese children don't have the habit of settling down to do things, they are indoctrinated from a young age to take shortcuts and make quick money.

It's like a nobleman facing a beggar and asking him, "Why are you begging? People should live with dignity!" . But you are not in the world of beggars, how do you understand beggars' involuntarily.

The difference between aristocrats and tuhao is that even the wealth of hundreds of millions can not make up for the poverty of the spirit! A businessman who came out of the slum eventually found that even if he had the same strength as the aristocrat, he married the daughter of the aristocrat, but he was still incompatible with the aristocrat. Because an aristocrat's education, culture, taste and even character cannot be bought with money.
