Visitors are not allowed to enter most buildings, but Li Guizhen, a section manager of a production line of component moulding, led us into his factory where women were silently polishing the components by hand.

Li goes on rounds several times a day in his production line to check on workers and gives instructions to the moulding team. They make the frames for PC screens for brands like Apple and HP.
