Cairang Ji sits on a bed in the main room of a farmhouse holding her two grandchildren on her lap as she quietly speaks the verses of an old folk song. Two other grandmothers dutifully repeat the words, heads bent close to one another as if in prayer, each cupping her left hand over an ear so she can hear her own voice more clearly.
Most people are baffled when Cui Jinghua tells them what she does for work. "What do you do?" "I am a paging operator."
My husband was in Singapore for a two-week project, so I planned to take my daughter to join him during her spring break. I went about and got all the necessary things, including flight tickets.
A pager, or beeper, is a small, battery-powered device that alerts the person carrying it when someone is trying to reach them by telephone.
