Caught in a trap, but I can't leave

By Cao Yin | China Daily | Updated: 2016-12-19 07:31

I am in a dilemma. I want to leave the village and earn more money in a big city like I did before, but that's not possible.

Last year, my foster father died and my second child was born. The situation not only required money, but as the eldest child I had to handle all the arrangements.

Luckily, when I returned to the village after my spell as a migrant worker, I was given a job in the cured meat factory owned by Liao Yanfei, the head of our village. Every day, I take a 20-minute walk from home to the plant, where I cut meat. I earn 2,000 yuan ($ 291) a month. When we add in my wife's income - she also works in the factory - we have a total of 3,000 yuan a month.
