The teams entering the factory to recruit workers meandered along the streets, moving step by step. The road was full of traffic, and trucks pulling goods were coming in and out with a rumbling sound. The factory gate was pulling an electric fence, and the security guards were maintaining order.

The CCTV program team's camera started from the factory gate and captured the long team. A deputy director of the program team rushed over the next day to direct the female reporter and the videographer to shoot the materials needed.

Most of the young people entering the factory were only seventeen or eighteen years old, thin, ignorant, and went into the factory gate. They were sent by local governments. Because the number of places to enter the factory was limited, they all rely on robbing them.

When they arrived at the factory, the city cadres finally found several workers for the program team who were willing to speak for interviews. It could be said that they were children rather than "workers". They were really young.

"All those under the age of seventeen must be sent to the technical school for one year of training. The training from seventeen to eighteen for half a year. Those over eighteen will depend on the situation, and the training will be one to three months.

Before training, you need to do a physical examination to screen out those who are not suitable for going to the production line. The "Holy Light" is worthy of these dolls. If they are allowed to stay in their hometown and have no future for the rest of their lives, they may have to go to prison."

The cadre put on a few bamboo chairs and pulled young workers to sit around. The female reporter grabbed the microphone and asked one by one, and the cameraman was taking pictures next to him.

In the first ten minutes, everyone didn't say much, and they basically had a question and answer. After chatting for half an hour, the female reporter finally let these young people speak on their own initiative.

When asked if he was willing to go out to work, the young workers nodded. A young Yi man talked about the township cadres coming to the door and said that he could earn at least 200 yuan a month. His parents didn't ask what he was doing, so he pushed him out.

"It's not okay if you don't come out. The village is too poor and you can only grow corn and potatoes. Eating rice depends entirely on relief. In the past, I didn't even have to eat potatoes, which was even more bitter."

The Yi young man’s Mandarin is not good and he can’t speak many words. But as the female reporter listens, he can feel the suffering caused by poverty and closure.

"There is no road in the village, so I can only take a carriage when I go to the town. I transport some mountain goods out to sell them. I don't mention people when I come back. Even the horses are so tired that I'm so tired that I'm going to be a lame person. It's the first time I've seen a car. It's the first time I've worn it clean, and I feel it's very good when I see anything."

When the young people talked about the current situation, they all grinned and were deeply satisfied.

It is hard for residents who stay in cities to imagine that there are still people in remote areas so far away from modern civilization. They have no electricity, no roads, and even lack water. They are busy all year round and cannot make much money.

The poorer they are, the more they cannot get rid of their hardships. They cannot save money, cannot provide good education to their descendants, and cannot enjoy medical insurance. Their only income can only make a living and have no skills to survive outside the world.

Without external help, poverty will always be maintained. However, this is not the most serious problem.

"Our place is very close to Myanmar, and drug dealers often appear. Because of poverty, many people sell drugs for people for dozens of dollars. Township cadres said they can't do it, and the villagers also knew that this was impossible.

Drug control police often come to catch drug traffickers, but they can’t catch them any longer, but they get more and more. So the township cadres said they were recruiting workers, so my parents quickly sent me out. The village really couldn’t stay anymore.

This city is so good, so I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I want to earn more money now and take out my parents.” The Yi guy said with tears in his eyes and hope for the future.

Other young workers also have similar experiences. Compared with young people in the city, they have low cultural quality, but they are willing to work hard and work hard. Once they enter the city, they never want to go back. They have a strong desire to leave.

"What should people in the village do?" the female reporter asked again.

Young people don't know.

The cadre next to him intervened and replied, "Build roads, build schools, expand counties and cities, and move people out of remote places. At the beginning of the year, the president of "Sheng Light" said that he would come to Yunnan to invest, so he now took out all the money he earned from selling VCDs to continue investing.

When studying in a school, you can get the younger ones out first, so that they can go to junior high school at least, and take the high school entrance exam if they perform well, otherwise they will go to the technical school after junior high school.

"Sacred Light" also brought down several technical schools in the city and reorganized and transformed them. I also visited last month, and it was a lot more strict. After studying for two or three years, I could still learn a lot, and I would have a job when I came out.

Adults organize agriculture, which is difficult. They started conducting research in February, but they don’t have a clue yet. I guess they won’t have a plan until next year.

The key is that many places do not have highways or electricity at all, and it is very difficult for us to carry out work. To solve these problems, we need at least hundreds of billions of investment. I guess the day when I die will not see the power supply in every village."

The city cadres are still quite optimistic about the future. But no matter how optimistic he is, he is not happy about the poverty situation at the grassroots level in the province. No one can think of what it will look like in ten or twenty years?

Everyone always feels that the "Holy Light" is very powerful, but it cannot be so powerful. People are used to estimating the future based on linear thinking, but never thought that there is another kind of "exponential growth".

"Sheng Light Audiovisual" may recruit 15,000 ordinary workers this year. Then in two years, the output of VCDs will reach 5 million units, and its number of workers will be 100,000.

But how many young people in Yunnan need work?

"The province expects that the 'Sheng Light Audiovisual' can generate 10 to 2 billion profits and taxes every year and solve about 30,000 to 50,000 jobs." The city cadres hesitated for a while when they said this number.

The female reporter keenly grasped the hesitation and asked, "Is this number high or low?" Her inner judgment was that the employment of tens of thousands of dollars was very high.

Large state-owned enterprises are nothing more than that.

But the city cadres scratched their heads, "This estimate was made by the Provincial Light Industry Department. But there was a private rumor that the president of the "Holy Light" heard this number and said that the province looked down on people too much."

The female reporter was also curious, "What are the subsequent measures for 'Holy Light'?"

"At present, we mainly promote VCD and use the profits brought by VCD to build a complete set of white goods industry. As for the others, we really don't know. After all, everything is just starting out, and there will be a clearer development plan until next year."

Speaking of this, the city cadres laughed again, "If you come next year, the situation will definitely be different. The speed of "Holy Light" is really fast. We can't calculate it."

The interview lasted for two hours, and the program team was quite satisfied. The young people who entered the factory were smiling when they talked about their current life. The accompanying cadres did not hide it, and they said good and bad things.

But after the interview, the female reporter asked again: "Now that "Sword of China" has been aired, the social response is extremely strong, and the people are particularly concerned. How about the drug problem at the border?"
