240 yuan a day on the construction site. The boss usually doesn't pay us wages, just gives us a little money for living expenses. This past week, I finally got paid some wages (4,290 yuan, and only because the project owner forced the boss to pay).

In one week, I put in 400 U and made 4,000 U. It feels so unreal, like I'm dreaming. I'm so happy. Workers at the bottom earn every penny through blood and sweat. I got injured at work 20 days ago and went back to work the very next day. Now, more than 20 days have passed, and even this little wound will leave a scar for the rest of my life. Those 4,000 U feel like a life ring thrown to someone drowning. I'm grateful that luck was on my side.
