时代周刊评选出的09年人物中赫然出现了中国工人的身影。真的很感慨老美!中国经济最大的推动力在哪里?其实就在我们可爱的勤劳的人民群众。
中国的产业工人不会有像国外的工会组织那样的利益代言人,也没有健全的社会保障体系,他们所作的只是在很多人看来理所当然的只有微薄收入的体力劳动,想想还有 广大的农民,真的感慨中国人民的朴实与勤劳!
总感觉现在的中国产业经济就像18、19世纪的资本主义原始积累时期一样,剥削、压榨、无视生命等等等等,算了,不想再说了!

The Chinese Worker
In China they have a word for it. baoba means "protect eight," the 8% annual economic growth rate that officials believe is critical to ensuring social stability. A year ago, many thought hitting such a figure in 2009 was a pipe dream. But China has done it, and this year it remains the world's fastest-growing major economy — and an economic stimulus for everyone else. Who deserves the credit? Above all, the tens of millions of workers who have left their homes, and often their families, to find work in the factories of China's booming coastal cities — in plants like the Shenzhen Guangke Technology Co.'s, just outside Hong Kong, which sits amid a jumble of snack stands, cheap clothing stalls and old men dragging carts filled with candy to sell to workers on their day off. Near the factory we found some of the people who are leading the world to economic recovery: Chinese men and women, their struggles in the past, their thoughts on the present and their eyes on the future.
