Korean students with high employment pressure are willing to be "couriers"
International students flock to the home delivery for the sake of "Taibai"
Although the latitude is more southerly, the winter in Seoul is not much warmer than that in Beijing. One third of the population in South China is concentrated in this metropolis, and the traffic is busy every day. No one will notice that every day around 5 pm, a group of Koreans will wait in the cold wind at Gate 7 of Xishi subway station in the city center. What they are waiting for is a van that says "Modern Home Delivery".
"ZJS" is actually the express delivery in China. Due to the popularity of online shopping in Korea, small land area and convenient logistics, the express delivery industry system is huge and needs a lot of labor. ZJS companies usually deliver goods during the day and load and unload goods at the logistics station at night. These China compatriots gathered in the subway station are waiting for loading and unloading, which is transliterated as Taibai in Korean. The logistics station of ZJS is open around big warehouse, and the door is full of boxes and parcels from all over Korea, which are sent to all over Korea. From clothes and gift boxes to bagged rice and salt, everything is diverted by "Taibai" migrant workers.
"This kind of work is tired and dirty, and you have to stay up late. If I don't settle my salary that day, I won't sell this life. " Xiao Wang, who is studying at a university in Seoul, complained. There are many foreign students who come to Taibai to earn pocket money like him, because "it is better to earn pocket money without work than to sleep in a dormitory."
"The locals take 80,000, and we only take 55,000."
"For the same job, Koreans can get 80,000 won or more a night, and we only have 55,000 at most." Many foreign students complain that their wages are not good. Not only are they lower than those of Koreans, but they will also be scolded if they work. At work, the South Korean squad leader was mean to China people, urging "Barry Barry" (meaning "hurry up" in Korean) while swearing.
"In order to make some money, you can endure it as much as possible. Because most students are not allowed to work in the school, they will be fined if something goes wrong. " Xiao Wang also has a lot of helplessness.
"You students are still relatively strong, and we have to be careful about the arrest of people by the Legal Department, for fear that we will not run away." Lao Li is from Cangzhou, Hebei. He does not have a valid visa and resident registration card. He is an illegal worker.
In Seoul, Ansan has the largest number of black workers, accounting for about 70% of Chinese people. There, you can buy China's tobacco, alcohol and other commodities, and you can also buy a so-called "card machine", that is, a mobile phone that can be used without legal identity (Korean mobile communication is registered in real-name registration system, and it cannot be handled without legal identity).
"In a club (company) in Anshan some time ago, the Ministry of Justice arrested more than 300 China people at once." Lao Li has a lingering fear. According to him, people who used to sneak in were afraid to show up in the street during the day, and maybe they would be questioned by the police. "Even if you make money, how to return to China is still a problem. My wife and children haven't seen each other for years. " With the increasingly close communication between China and South Korea, it is no longer difficult for Koreans to enter the country, and there is no need to venture into the country illegally. Most of our compatriots, because they have no identity and no language, are "still not easy" and can only submit to humiliation.
Lao Li told reporters that when a woman from Northeast China first came, she was sent to the "church" introduced by "good people" in South Korea. This "church" not only provides accommodation for her, but also provides a bank account for her to receive her salary. As a result, 300,000 yuan she earned in a club day and night for six years was detained by the "church" and it took a lot of effort to get back a small part.
"Employment" is stressful and I only sleep for 5 hours.
Nowadays, in South Korea, where the economy is in recession, it is increasingly difficult to find a job like Taibai, who works harder but earns less money. Due to the high turnover of personnel, similar theft happens from time to time, and many companies have started to dismiss China people. Many people said that "employment pressure is high".
Xiao Liu comes from Linyi, Shandong, and is now a student at a university in Jeollabuk-do. Because "the local area is a small place and it is not easy to earn money", I chose to work in Seoul during the winter vacation.
"The house I rented in Incheon is nearly two hours' drive from here (referring to Xishi subway station). "He said," I went to the express company in Incheon, and I didn't want to be from China for a few days. "Now he can only go back and forth between Xi Shi and Incheon every day, and he can only sleep for five hours.
"From 3 pm to the next morning 10, I was either making Taibai or on my way to Taibai." Xiao Liu, who looks tired, has not forgotten to make a joke.
It's getting colder and colder since winter. It's not easy to load and unload cars in almost open air on a winter night of minus 10 degrees Celsius. However, Xiao Liu's enthusiasm for "Taibai" has not diminished. "Going back to China for the New Year, I have to get a decent suit and buy a set of cosmetics for my sister. If I stick to it for a few more days, all these things will be there. "
According to statistics, there are now more than 400,000 Koreans in China. Except for a few white-collar workers who are engaged in teaching, scientific research and office work, most Koreans are engaged in coolies that Koreans are unwilling to do, that is, the so-called 3D industry (difficult, dirty and dangerous), such as working as construction workers, restaurant waiters, bathhouse massage, and labor-intensive processing plants. Not only are the working conditions bad, but when a major accident occurs, the compensation received by China people is also very unsatisfactory.
According to the current disaster compensation standard of foreign labor industry in Korea, the compensation for safety accidents is based on the original nationality standard. If a Korean's finger is cut off, he can get compensation of 1 100 million won (1000 won is equivalent to RMB 7.8 yuan). For China people, he can only get this amount of110.
