Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Dongguan is a well-known manufacturing city with thousands of factories. Countless products are exported to all parts of the world from here. At the same time, there are also migrant workers coming here from all over the country.
Between 2020 and 2021, writer Siren went to factories in Dongguan for more than 80 days, went deep into the front line, lived and ate with workers in electronics factories, mold factories, jewelry factories, etc., and wrote this book "Dust-Free Workshop" to record the real image of workers-many people complain about "996", but they care about whether there are overtime shifts; they value their own labor and will argue for the deserved remuneration; at the barbecue stall after work, they will also talk about dreams, hometown, and love.
It is precisely these migrant workers hidden in the city who support the city and become its solid foundation.

I am currently mainly engaged in prose writing. I believe that prose is a text for expressing oneself, a text for discovering oneself and the world, and a text for establishing the relationship between oneself and the world. Prose expresses "I", that is, it expresses all living beings.
