Hello everyone, welcome to Qiqi Baba, I am Qiqi. This person in Nantong, Jiangsu, I think is quite bold. Actually, I feel that by speaking out so directly, it is a bit too obvious. And because inside the Great Firewall, it is really no joke. I sincerely advise that when protesting, everyone should still pay attention to safety; you must be cautious, you must be cautious.
When you find that you have to fight for even the most basic rights, don't get entangled, decisively pay the price and leave.
The current situation is that everyone wants their own employees to take less money, work more, and work more overtime, yet they crave for other people's employees to have money and time to come out and consume, to buy their products. How is that even possible?
I am being stepped on like an ant; money is too hard to earn. Ah.
Going abroad will be the most worthwhile thing to do in the next ten to thirty years. Don't think about what you can do after you get out, and don't think about how you can stay after you get out. The first step is to get out first; there will always be many ways and many opportunities waiting for you.
If you can't even survive, what's the point of talking about paying off debts? Don't be anxious, calm your mind first, take good care of your family, take good care of yourself, and deal with future matters later, okay?
Have you all heard? The richest man in Hebei has also been taken away for investigation. Hey, why did I use the word 'also'? The assets that one worked hard for a lifetime to build were wiped out overnight. Many people don't realize that all assets, businesses, and family members are bound to this system, and this is the biggest risk. For the wealthy, what they are competing for in the end is not the ability to make money, but the ability to leave a way out for themselves.
Why are bosses all moving outwards? Because 'zero-dollar shopping' has hurt too many people's hearts. If you are also a business owner and don't want to be a victim of 'zero-dollar shopping', hurry up and plan your second system.
How much do you want today?
Ah, use one.
Holy shit! Are you kneeling down to ask for money for two? There is one here, working is expensive to ask for money. There are rules, there are rules, the rules require it.
Next, more and more people will leave China to live and work overseas. Many people around me have already done this, and there certainly are around you too. Take one of my female college classmates, a Beijing native who returned straight to Beijing after finishing university, and her family arranged a job for her at a school, a public institution. Then her life was what we all considered the successful kind: a stable job, a happy family, and plenty of winter and summer vacations, how great is that! A few days ago, I saw her post a WeChat Moments update. She is actually studying in New Zealand, and when I chatted with her, I found out she has been there for almost a year. Later, her husband and children also went over. They had originally planned to go to Australia, but once you pass 35, the policies there no longer allow it. After she finishes her studies in New Zealand, she can find some employer-sponsored job and live there indefinitely. I asked her why she wanted to go there, and I heard her give a wry chuckle and say,
This is Dazhong Road Pedestrian Street, the number one street in northern Jiangxi. In the past, the crowds on this street were overwhelming; now look at this foot traffic. Oh, right, do you want to guess how much the transfer fees for shops on this street used to be? At least six figures. Can you believe it? You might not even have been able to rent one. But now look at many of the storefronts on this street—they have been empty for over half a year, and they are still empty. Everyone knows the Simatou square, right? This used to be the top trendsetter in Jiujiang, and I believe many friends have shopped inside it. Back then, even the suit I wore for my wedding was bought here. Ever since this place closed down a couple of years ago, I feel like the entire Simatou area has become a lot more desolate. Look at this restaurant that had been open in Meidianpo for 25 years—it has unexpectedly closed down as well. I really don't know what on earth is going on in Simatou nowadays.
We are early-stage road maintenance workers, um, coming to this area today, we are all here to demand our wages. The arrears have already delayed our pay for nearly half a year. We have been asking for it, and we've been asking for three or four months now, yet this pay is still not being disbursed, and they won't make up our back pay. Today, our goal is to go to the Transportation Bureau and face the leaders directly to see how they plan to resolve and sort out this issue for us! Everyone must not forget the rules inside the wall! An important reason for the impoverishment of the entire population! Qiqi Baba TALK Episode 1007 20261022
Today is the third day.
Listen to that, those were all your stated claims; where is that big wok of yours?
Wages being in arrears, everyone's hard-earned money.
Too abrupt! Just a couple of days ago, I was still happily introducing this market to you, and now I have to quickly rush over to retract a travel guide. In just two days, the number of people tearing down shops has dwindled to almost none; there's nobody, nobody, nobody, truly nobody left at all.
Brother, come, come, come, come, come. This fucking company makes you work and doesn't give you money, I fuck their mothers, they won't even pay wages.
It was this woman, back in China, who took turns driving around with me in two Porsches. Now that she's come to America, she honestly does interior renovation work right along with me. Do you regret marrying me?
No regret.
If you don't speak the language, have no technical skills, have no money, and have no relatives abroad, I strongly advise you never to leave the country; otherwise, you will endure endless suffering. Fortunately, I have my older brother and sister-in-law over here.
Why not return to China? Because they earn more, because there are fewer people, because there is no involution, because the welfare is high, because there are no worries about the future, and because medical care and education are universal. It is simply such straightforward and unpretentious reasons that have led the vast majority of people who have already obtained overseas status to turn China into a place for vacation and tourism. Because China is advanced, China is convenient, the demographic dividend of the labor force exists, and it is cheap. Money evolves within China, and now it has unexpectedly become a mainstream choice for overseas individuals.
When I first went abroad, actually, I didn't know that people abroad are actually quite guarded against compatriots. Yes. But when we first went out, we certainly didn't know; seeing another Chinese person made us feel seemingly close or something. Once, someone had difficulties and seemed to be seeking help. As I walked over, the moment they heard my Chinese accent as a compatriot, they said, "No, no, no, no, no." At first, I couldn't understand it at all—I was trying to help you, and yet you treat me like this. Later on, after I had spent a long time abroad, whenever I heard the voice of a Chinese compatriot, I would also stay far, far away.
Believing that China lacked development opportunities, she resolutely went abroad to seek a way out. Although she finally has her own career, if she were currently in mainland China, which is full of opportunities, given another choice, she wouldn't even know if she would choose to leave her hometown again.
I really deserve to die! Why did I go back to get this double eyelid surgery? This eye of mine can no longer see. Why was I so easily trusting of others? Ugly looking like this, I used to be so brave, yet now one of my eyes cannot see. How can I come to terms with this? Coming to America with nothing and starting from scratch, no hardships had ever defeated me, but right now I
What should we do now? Uh, under the situation of nationwide impoverishment, ah, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) still wants to grab one last round. I really can't say whether this behavior will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, because, because people really can't hold on much longer. Alright, that is all for this episode.
