Recently, there has been such a small change on the Internet: people ask each other morning, instead of simply saying "good morning", they type out "good morning, migrant workers" with great momentum.
"migrant worker" 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 typical example is this:
Most of these jokes about migrant workers are like this: six points are teasing, three points are self-deprecating, and one point is ridiculous.
after "security diary" and "social animals", "migrant workers" have become the Slogan of workers from all walks of life.

I don't know when, but a powerful "manifesto for migrant workers" began to spread in the circle of friends.
Similarly, we have all seen a lot of online buzzwords that belong 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 justified.
"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". Its meaning is neutral, and it is neither favorable nor derogatory.
It was not until the 198s, at the beginning 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 sending laborers from all over the country to foreign lands, the term "working" has become universal nationwide.
But its meaning has also changed-that is, the meaning we understand now: a temporary, arbitrary dismissal, alternative labor.
At that time, many new words were born: migrant workers, migrant girls, migrant emperors ...
Up to now, people have embellished it with a word "people" and synthesized a hot word: migrant workers.
Compared with others, the word "migrant worker" is a general group pronoun regardless of gender, region and age. It is powerful, proud and has a sense of mission.
Many people describe the existence of migrant workers like this: they get up early and get greedy for the dark, get a meager salary and do hard work. Ordinary reveals the pursuit, and tries to show stubbornness in humiliation.
this is also the core of the series of workers: workers have fun in hardships and recognize the reality.
Most of the workers' stalks are positive, revealing a sense of inspiration with a "rustic flavor".
people describe their own difficulties in an unrestrained way.
always encourage colleagues to recognize themselves.
The phrase "Good morning, migrant workers" seems to inspire all the motivation in people's hearts.
self-mockery is one of the main themes around the "migrant workers".
followed by "Ollie gives" encouragement.
In such a migrant worker universe constructed by jokes, everyone is a migrant worker in bad karma: they pay too much, earn too little, can't chew the boss's cake, and can't get out of bed in the morning.
I have all kinds of hardships in my heart, but I have to bend my back for a bucket of rice.
But although the tone is sad, most of the derived expressions or jokes of migrant workers still show a trace of upward.
everyone doesn't like to work, but everyone is a worker.
And 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 we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one, complaining about being a migrant worker.
Like the stalks you see, it also illustrates a phenomenon: people are no longer ashamed to be migrant workers.
ten years back, 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 "employees of an enterprise", or white-collar workers and blue-collar workers.
People want to look decent and have a bright future. There are not only poems and the sea in my heart, but also great prospects and opportunities to become CEO.
But with the recent years, young people have recognized the reality, and the requirements for self-address are not so high.
The word "moving bricks" was first used and spread from Baidu Post Bar. This word originally refers to some manual labor with poor environment and low salary. Up to now, people have directly replaced "going to work" with it.
then "social animals". It comes from the Japanese words "company" (club) and "livestock" (livestock), which together mean "livestock of the company", referring to some workers who give up their lives for the company, and are mostly used for self-mockery of Japanese employees.
The "social animals" traveled far to China without acclimatization, and since then, they have become the self-styled laborers.
Modern people say that they are leaving for the company, but they have long since stopped saying, "I'm going to fight for my career".
instead, it is just to say, "our livestock have gone to move bricks."
as mentioned above, "migrant workers" are also the same number. I am afraid that this word will also be regarded as a self-proclaimed by workers and will be used for a long time.
Similar to this, there are many self-dwarfing identity interpretations, all of which show the same sign: most people are beginning to understand that they are "workers" who work.
this is self-abuse lying flat and laughing at yourself.
The reason why I am willing to laugh at myself like this is not only because I feel relieved after knowing the facts, but also because of the heroism of "I still love life after seeing the truth of life".
people gradually realize that most people are working together. Do your part and eat a meal. There is no difference between high and low, and there is no difference.
to describe a migrant worker in one sentence, it may be: recognize the reality, give up the fantasy, but don't stop moving forward.

The fire of "migrant workers" can also be regarded as a kind of reincarnation to some extent.
also in the 198s, when the word "part-time job" began to rise, "part-time job literature" was born.
Simply put, "migrant literature" is a kind of literary work written by, for or for migrant workers, and its 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 to write their own literary works.
Poetry is a popular carrier of migrant literature.
when you open a book of poems, the works of migrant poets have distinct characteristics: most of them write about homesickness and pain.
Liu Dongwu, a famous migrant poet, commented that diaspora, exile, identity crisis and identity anxiety are almost all migrant workers' * * complex, and they are also an important motif of "migrant literature".
Although in recent years, the literature of working part-time jobs has gradually declined, it still continues. Xu Lizhi, a migrant poet who committed suicide in 214, once touched the hearts of countless people with his poems.
He wrote "Going home with the sunset under the street lamp":
He also wrote "I swallowed an iron moon":
And today's joke about "migrant workers" may also be regarded as a superficial return of "migrant 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 steel forest full of unknowns can also be called a spiritual exile.
And the value contained in migrant workers' jokes may still not be worthy of being called "migrant workers' literature": they are modern poems specialized by Chinese Internet, which are shallower, more popular and more playful. But it still has a little function of enjoying the crowd and complaining.
and most of us, as workers, 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, migrant workers.
