Mail and vegetables - the first report on the question of child labour in Liangshan

by:和菜头

Usergrahasent a long letter from his personal experience to talk to the child's view of Dongguan in Liangshan. Thank graha a letter from the President, regardless of point of view, this equality to discuss the demeanor I personally appreciate (now can not be easily appreciated in the Blog Who, the event also was a classmate? Lee Yuan »). For this letter in perspective, I would like to have three:


1, "23 days can eat meal of rice,"one said, graha President obviously has misreading. Said here on February 3 genius is not to provide a meal, but there are two or three days a week to rice-based food. In southern China, rice-based food to the people. Alpine poverty in the region, Rice is of the rare, often daily staple of potatoes, corn and buckwheat.


2, I do not agree with the thesis that the media do Wuyong Gong, Sun Zhigang incident to the detention and repatriation system into Jiuzhu Zhan is proof. The media is not a government agency, not the reality of operating capacity. However, the media to arouse the public to a specific social concern over the issue, triggered a strong public opinion and pressure of public opinion, making the Government had to improve their work. I admit that more than one China in Liangshan. Precisely because of this, I even recognized the role of the media, their duty is to continue, further reports, until all the changes occurred so far in Liangshan. Otherwise, we will eventually have to live in Yangsan risk.


specific to the problem of child labour, Dongguan, in my April 29 the "Nanfang Dushi Bao"Dongguan Edition wrote a column "A shortage of migrant workers there will be child labour flows", also talked about his own views.


3, I admit that it is very difficult to change others, or even should not seek such a change. However, the corollary to this view if extreme circumstances, will become a fallacy: Suppose there are still a tribal hunting and eating habits of living, can use the same reasons they left Chi Xiaqu » Or to cultural pluralism on the ground to eat the protection of human customs » Of course, Liangshan and the situation is less extreme. However, no one asking everyone must become Mohist disciples, Moldova Top Xuanzhong for the benefit of the world. I think that the focus is not seeking to change, but to provide choice. When provided an opportunity, but the other side to give up, then he is to God Yanqi, not for themselves who are not God. In any case, should provide such opportunities, people have a choice. This choice should not be in the land and when a child in the election.


Finally, I also mentioned on the news of a moral question: assume that a reporter fabricated the plot simply does not exist, to enhance the convincing reports. This plot is not true, but to express the reality of the situation and hinder the situation is not illegal. Well, this act is a violation of journalistic ethics »


Following is

grahafull text of a letter from the President:


in your site to see the news of child labour in Liangshan, Thank you for the way we should have been provided free of charge to read.


I do not know the reporter's question on the record or some people that I greatly "admire."


17,8-year-old I had in many parts of Zhongshan, Dongguan still flow and I remember that those who join me in 48 hours sitting in the pipeline manually, or rush, they misrepresentation of age, using false identity cards, to help factories Labor departments were Saodichumen fear. Investigated identity cards, temporary residence permits, ready to be taken into account and then called others to take money Lai Shu. Even so, we have a job, wages are not high, but Accommodations and Dining will never have to worry about. Eat is not necessarily good, a one-Hun a soup, rice Rensheng, what kind of factories have the least, even if that deduction of wages, not even to the wages of the factory will give a Baofan. Yi Jin's more than one metre can do big pot of rice, a day or two days can not eat, and the impact on labor efficiency is a tremendous addition to the production of plastic garbage refresher like the black plants, factories have generally calculated loss This state workers waste a lot, sure enough money over one of the rice money Yijin, the account can Suanqing Chu sure many of the factories, or that I experienced, I experienced by friends, In Dongguan has not been to a few days doing manual also not to eat or long-term
