"Asurvey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wantedto be a factory worker．One percent of allpeople interviewed said “YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raisinghis voice for dramatic effect．"But I can tellyou, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth．"

       I'vemet colorful people like Wang all over China．Theyare cynical （玩世不恭的） yet warmhearted, plain spokenbut smart．And many of them are confined （局限于）to work in factories．

       Wangis a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China'smost important natural resource．Their energy ispowering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of theworld's factory．

       Butdoes their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they telltheir friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory makingsocks?" Did you?[来源:Zxxk.Com]

       Factorywork has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modernlife．It's been happening forcenturies, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated．Earning1,200 yuan （$169）per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wangpoints out, it's not a dream career．There should be betterways to earn your rice．

       Manymodern factories no longer have production line workers．Robotsdo the assembly （装配）．People just do themonitoring．In this age of technology, inwhich China is now working smarter and not just harder, why are people stillstanding in production lines?

       Butlife is cheap in China．So why not continue toexploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, someentrepreneurs may ask．
