Drifting Albemarle Road

 Albemarle Road

drifting drifting during the days in the Albemarle Road, has been in the past for a long time left in the mind, is Yu Lai deeper missed.

University will soon become the past time, and from the countryside to the cities for a child to college, it is very hard to come by, not only they have to pay a lot of effort, but also the parent mothers pay large sums for their own tuition fees, grew up in rural areas where children gather every penny that the number of parents of sweat, so I can not accept the parents peace of mind so heavy gift, in order to reduce the burden of home I decided to apply for help school loans, then work-study, but also clearly remember when my father sent me to college scene, in order to do our student loans under the buzz, then I told myself, after a better life must let Laofulaomu, college, and I over the full, busy, while learning, while part-time work, even though such a life with other students is very different, but I know there are still many rural children, like me, in the struggle for their own ideals, and now The hard work will only be in the future wealth, we are doomed to life after sharpening, the University to graduate, I secretly sighed with relief, finally graduating, sixteen years this has finally come to an end of study, and finally to the formal work can finally make money to support their families, and this is the dream of many years, ah, my father was ill in bed, the mother's body has become more rotten step, the younger brother back to school after dropping out of school, admitted into a university, a heavy burden on the family I can finally share the past few years I deeply feel that the most painful things in life than, watch as their loved ones can do nothing but suffer, bear, perhaps for many people this means that some heavy, but in order for commitment, I waited too long, finally did.

However, after graduating from what I what to do, of the Normal University graduate, a teacher in accordance with common sense is best for the girls, the teaching profession pretty good, stable, and not too worry about , a relatively high degree of social recognition, but unhappy that the wage level is low, the wages of two thousand dollars, I can not afford to help my parents and brother, toss and turn, I decided to give up this job, I know myself, my back through the points has a pair of wings is not doomed to bear and the bear, so I have to fly, so I decided to go to Beijing, that ancient mysterious, Crouching Tiger, dragon hide, opportunity to clusters of cities, and hope to see in it is to achieve my dream.

chose Beijing, there is a major cause, because there was a place called Albemarle Road. For the study of Russian people, I think most people will not be too strange, Albemarle Road, Beijing is the largest foreign clothing franchise window, the rise of the late eighties of the twentieth century, the development of dozens of small stalls to Trade Building, now the number of buildings, the annual trade volume of about 20 billion U.S. dollars. Beijing also set a number of the most: the most foreign, trading fastest, most expensive rent. Albemarle Road because of the busy garment trade, famous the world. Albemarle Road market is beginning from 80 years in the garment trade, the Albemarle Road area of the embassy district of Beijing, so the beginning is a street vendor in the form of children, the same like the other two markets: Sanlitun, Silk is so developed that rely on the embassy area and more foreigners to carry out the first Then slowly, Sanlitun, Silk into a wholesale and retail clothing market, and Albemarle Road has become synonymous with clothing trade in Eastern Europe.

story on Albemarle Road, It is said that in Beijing, from Russia every 3 dollars, there is 2 dollars stuffed into the pockets of businesses Albemarle Road. According to statistics, every year Albemarle Road, Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa, the Arab countries, more than 6,000 merchants. This uniform per person per 6,000 people to Albemarle Road, procurement of goods are more than 15,000 U.S. dollars. In Albemarle Road, the business volume of transactions every day, more than 100 million U.S. dollars. However, this is the previous attraction, and the international financial crisis, Albemarle Road, the business is far better to do before then, but at the time, there is still very attractive, many people are attracted to learn the Russian to find a way out here. Many of our school brother sister school were all found here in life first bucket of gold, and some even have a car or house in Beijing, we, naturally, be attracted, is filled with Russian blonde Of course, there are many other countries, businessmen and tourists, all shops, hotels, restaurants, etc. are all bilingual signs in Chinese and Russian, where everyone is not the slightest unfamiliar Russian, such a place, how can We are curious and longing to prevent it.

me and my two classmates came to Beijing, carries persistent dreams of the young, and began drifting north is known as life, sat for a night train, arrived in Beijing is early morning, mid-spring Beijing has had some copies of the green, the air was wet, the sky was gloomy, I think the city does not seem to welcome me from afar, where the strangeness makes me feel so depressed and panic, coupled with the way tired, really want a good sleep, but this is not the time to rest.

Fortunately, friends have given us a good look ahead of residence, under the guidance of her was removed we came to the front of a tall building, when it began to rain heavily, really leaking has stimulated overnight rain, carrying a large bags, tired and hungry and sleepy we did not go upstairs, but take the elevator to go down, I went out from the elevator into a dark room, where I first saw the legendary basement, the basement divided into three layers, each layer was filled, the foreign population drift north, we lived in a ground floor, narrow and dark corridor, has been leading a dark seems very far away land, on both sides of the aisle, separated by a partition a lot of very, very small room, the water there are several girls in the laundry room, toilet flushing sound very loud, the voice of Raining Cats and echoed in the basement corridor, there are men in the water room grooming, it seems This is shared between men and women, the sun does not come into the basement, so even have to turn on the lights during the day light, we were ushered into a triple in, which has a bed and a table, in addition, there is nothing into The only feeling is dark to the wet, of course, not a small window, but the outside light from the top down only faintly shone very laborious, but also adds some dark sense, the landlord is an old lady in Northeast, fairly good attitude, clearing out the expense to her, and we use 650 yuan rented this small room, I feel very satisfied, we do not cash-strapped to ask too much. Simply pick up a little luggage, and the room was suddenly quiet down, the three of us in the room looked at each other, sometimes silent, not knowing what to say or do. To live and work here, we need to prepare a lot, but the solution is now our primary work is the normal major university, but we give up a stable life for teachers to Beijing to find a job, do not know what will be Sample the beginning of a time all the confusion, helplessness, loss and everything in my mind, the outside is difficult days, which came to have predicted, but now feeling more clear and true, let me heart is more tension and anxiety.

learn Russian people in general in the work of Albemarle Road, divided into two, so the Treasury to do stalls translation and translation, of course, there are other aspects such as tourism, but not the mainstream, the Treasury the main job of translation is an international logistics and stalls selling mainly refers, it is in Russian and sellers to foreign, can also be said that Russian sales assistant, this work can be known as the Russian translation, to find a job in Albemarle Road is a very different type of thing, different from our usual oral, written, oral, etc., but the boss asked you whether directly relevant experience, the boss can use to meet you, do not need to sign labor contracts, on a good salary as long as you can, monthly payments, in addition, there is nothing if not satisfied with your work the boss can dismiss you at any time, of course, translation can also be fired at any time the boss to the absence of labor contract constraints, where every day The speculation and pushed things are more normal, and therefore live in fear every day many translations of the day, do not know when it will be the boss fired. Albemarle Road in the heart of a great piece of bulletin board, the top covered with advertisements, job advertisements,Bailey UGG boots, and other relevant information to people seeking employment prior written many job ads, recruiting people, too, bulletin board around always full of all kinds of people around, just graduated from school students came here to work translation, business suits, carrying dusty and small, has just been fired by the boss's unfortunate translation, they generally learn only a few months Russian to dare to come out to show off, or does not know will not be flirtatious ways of the world, has just fired the boss's impatience translation, most of them adhere to the principles, do not know how to play sleek and sexy, just back home from abroad translation, of course, they just returned from abroad, may not necessarily much good, or because of age or body bloated and too full of feelings, or stylishly dressed or plain sexy body woman worried about translation, or more than feminine or yang deficiency included inadequate physical handsome men translation, translation of bulging round belly came here, and look fat, cunning eyes, some of lecherous male boss, or leaving for small packets, bulging chest, walk cat walk, do not look the other person, full of arrogant self- large female boss, who pulled rickshaw coachman, they used some blunt skilled and past Russian greeting foreigners who can appreciate the leisure and down the foreign girl, selling boiled corn boiled eggs Di lady, the business still不错, always count your change Ditou, selling phone cards, and their Russian said was really great, and the foreigner friends Sidiliaozhe Xiang, Mai Baozhi, and so on and so on, these people around here, Some talking and laughing, some frowning, looking for jobs usually keep in their ads next to the waiting stick the phone rings, the job many people posted their ads will soon be covered by other people's ads, This will paste the time, the cycle until you find the job.

Our intention is now Albemarle Road to find a temporary job doing, and then slowly work to find better, long-term perspective, where many are just looking for work graduates from the school, learning Russian for several months, and then mixing bowl of rice to eat out here, of course, there are some Russian experts and elites, who are generally home in Russia for many years business experience that, or is hired over, in short, be described here cohabitation, the work here you can understand as simple as possible, you work, you make money, do not sign labor contracts, there is no this and that insurance, and no one will care about your topic of housing provident fund, as long as you do your job, the boss will give you money, that's all, the boss can be a long time to give you a good mood, point of wages, can also be in a bad mood when you resign, you do not make a fuss of anger, as here, all this is true normal. The so-called 周瑜打黄盖, one is willing to fight, one is willing to endure. Magic Board soon

We have found the work stall translation, suspended for a long time the heart can finally being put down, lying on the cold basement of a wooden bed, we are silent, underground channel street singer in the song is still echoing in my ears: The outside world is good, the outside world is helpless.

Every day we returned it with both body and mind exhausted, each said some unfair things that happened today, eat bread and ham dinner is more like I lost a lot quickly. Work back and forth every day, and we look forward to the future, but also for work and life here was very tired, it seems every day is a torment, two friends can not stand the life here very soon, resigned, and last only I am a man down, ever feel alone strikes me.

basement is still dark, moist, but there are always so many people, families, under heavy pressure in this live, they are all from the field of migrant workers in Beijing, and I like living a dream that support the life of the northern drift. Tall buildings in this city, we live in the dark, wet basement, looking forward to one day big splash, live in our heads high-rise buildings.

2007 年 3 月 30 日 overcast

first day of work, the boss is a very smart woman, Zhejiang, Hunan and a sister, like well-behaved, there are many southerners, and most are the boss, the age of four or five years old, is Albemarle Road, the first batch of gold diggers, and now have been developed, most certainly no diploma, but are smart, hard to endure hardship, and now the boss sitting in a chair, a discharge beautiful scene. Female boss a lot of the first day and I said, it seems to test the waters of my bottom, I am not some vague talk of a peace of mind down, I'd open up for all to see, not too nervous. Week trial period, according to a monthly salary of two thousand dollars to open wage, which is very harsh, but I still agreed, intended to address urgent needs, but also can accumulate some experience.

2007.3.31

clear sunny days, finally, the people's mood up with a good, business is not very good, Lao Maozi come take a look and went, not very sincerity, to close the Chinese rejection of goods'd run in the off-season is often, at a lower price taking away old stuff each stock, then sold to the slightly higher price, from which earned him a, these people to Erenhot, Manchuria and the Mongolian majority, and now finally understand why so many cheap goods, the business world really is secret.

2007.4.1

clear ego-year-old sister in Hunan, but because I work as early as three years and is especially the sophisticated, sleek, dialect, then tell me how to do it outside, to convey female boss means, I am willing to get along with everyone in good faith, but many are each other's work, my words and actions on behalf of my inner man, my soul, so be strict with themselves, since for others work, will make her impossible to escape my problems and do their own things to do, of course, people are the same, whether owner or employee, whether it is opening a private car or live in the basement, so I not to meet her, I will do things according to my own principles.

(But the fact is always confirmed over and over again, my idea is not right, people seem to have been not so equal, that is a big difference, I will not go to meet others, of course not be cater to people like me, which always makes me stumble)

2007.4.3 clear

Today is the fifth day of the trial period, I was very satisfied with their performance, and just do not know the demanding female boss in the end what will make the decision, but whether or not she leave me leave me, I would be very grateful to her, because her I really learned a lot here, it may be demanding boss not a bad thing, so let me grow up faster, of course, this woman have no degree, but the very set of business today, two dollars to reprove the Xiaoyan so long, we can see the idea of a businessman.

2007.4.7

unemployed, demanding the ultimate female boss or my speech, this result can not say, OK, also not too rough, maybe I already expected, I on my performance is actually quite satisfied, even at the last minute without losing the grace and dignity is, I have my own ideas, his own views. (Think about it now, I just graduated, was not familiar with their very clear, has been too self-confident, but nothing at that time, confidence is the only belongs to me)

face unemployment I egregious usual calm, and again to see my choice is Albemarle Road, but it is a springboard, but where can I jump to it? Not an easy job really, work experience is like a deep ditch me in a good job blocking the other side, I just graduated, in addition to a university degree, a bit Russian, really nothing, the experience is not to say come and, and from the accumulated bit by bit, the so-called paid off, so I need not impatient, but calm in the face of all that comes to mind and not think of, walking in the streets of Beijing, walking in the forest of between high-rise buildings, I believe in myself, I will be able to live next to this place, they must live next to, and to good living, a way to live, not to others, only to watch herself in life I, to win is a relief, since the work had to give up running out of easy to run around, I have to be successful, the reality is cruel, not everyone can succeed, but I do believe that the dedication of everyone can be no regrets, I have a such a person.

(often the most threatening to the most difficult time, I recall those inspiring sentences: one day the endless road, the ship to cross the bridge, the main self-help those who save, or his brother had said to me : no have not moved to the Flaming Mountain. These words always help me successfully through the most brutal test of life, suffering is used to eating, is used to endure hardship, eating, and suffer under,UGG boots clearance, and all are can slowly past, just go under can sustain, not to surrender, there must be hope to see, not necessarily the better, but also considered a new beginning.)

Douban alley: the people will drift north the basement of Beijing has a very deep impression on it, like many people dream in Beijing, I was admitted to the Chaoyang South Street, watercress alley door, there are a lot of the basement, the basement is divided into several layers, I live in the underground second floor, previously only seen and heard only in a magazine, but now living in one of the inside lights are dim, quiet long and stretched around the narrow corridor, a small compartment sizes closely connected to live different professions, ages, people of different regions, these people are different and yet the same for the life, for the dream, the struggle. I've lived here for many of the same work in the translation of Albemarle Road, a number of office workers, some salon in the little brother little sister, and Sichuan's migrant workers, etc., we try to live, inhabit the bottom of this dark city corner. Had always thought there is no basement windows, and to know where the original is not the case, the windows of our little ray of light to penetrate the outside is a wall, to stand outside the window to see Yang look a bit days, is quite irregular rectangle.

formal work: a seemingly formal work has finally started, I am glad that they liked the job and are willing to work outside the life of the school orderly in the absence of a single point of line without the fetters of bondage, everything here should be to arrange their own, I rule my life there, get up early every day, exercise, good arrangements for meals, good health is the last word, every day must adhere to learning vocabulary to grasp the textile area and learn the knowledge of foreign trade, this is my first year of the accumulation of experience, extensive contacts in the year kind of work to do our best, we must allow employers to meet and recognize my work It is where are all the same, the capable, can they secure the work, the key lies in their ability, no one is willing to spend money, even less money to hire another an idiot, so the key is how to progress improve themselves, just out of college, without any social, work experience, so this first year is a process of accumulation, but also it is a process to be doubly hard.

(I was, in theory, always made the best plans are always confident, but I seriously overestimated their ability to work, of course, spent two years in school the propaganda minister, but my ability to work are still far less than the ability to learn, I think because I then guided the work of members of the adverse and reprimanded me, was very grateful, but when they do not know how to quickly progress in the ability to work the anguish and confusion that is.)

2007.4.12

the progress of the work into a full track, finally have something to do, the heart is also at ease a little, and today one of Sonia colleagues have been fired, she also worried about the rest of the day, do the translation of Albemarle Road, so the difficulty is, always live in worry about the outcome of which, precarious work, the boss saying, you will no doubt be unemployed, no right or wrong, no responsibilities and obligations, this is the periphery of the labor contract law, people live a different kind of life every day, 10:00 to go to work, at 7.30 after work, it still is more normal, but because there is slightly higher salary, or gathered a large number of Russian workers do not know if I was too arrogant, I despise this place, its essence absence, I will post here, I will have a better future.

(This was the very real idea, but the past few years, when I'm really after an absence of life there, I know my idea is wrong, I should not look down there,UGG boots cheap, because I choose to there, there should be respect, it should be hard work, where practical, such as heart when I was in the Han Cao Ying, how will all the physical and mental thrown into work to do, I told myself,cheap UGG boots, no matter what work, once chosen, we must respect their choice, and respect his work, his good)

is no concept of home textiles before, and I do not know whether it will participate in a chance to change my life But one thing is to know that I love this industry, like apparel, like fabric, with color, beauty, art, I will redouble my efforts.

no laws, people are eating is a headache, so that the next will be very easy to gain weight, but do not know how to solve it in the basement of my home is only a bed the size of a rectangular cubicle, the door is only a small stool at a table, and then is bed, there is no room for cooking, even if he gave me then I bought a small electric cooker, can be a little space on the ground in cook some noodles and the like, all there was, when the subject is extremely heavy economic pressure on a person, it is often a lot of other things can be negligible, such as what to eat, what to wear, with not cosmetics, and so on.

2007.4.16

Yesterday was Sunday, was spent in Beijing in the first sense of the word of the weekend, Albemarle Road, this place, as people like the printing press, not for the money running a stop, with this power, no one wants to relax, so life is not a lot of fun, even in the end, when the money in his hand, the heart is bored and depressed, and I believe that people are need a rest, just as the spring should be stretched a shrink, blindly into a tight end can only be flat on the wire, there is no flexibility, Ye Jiu Wang lost his existence meaning and value, so, who is to appropriate relaxation and rest.

(At the time I was not thinking from the academic school to get out, I think there is weekend work is on track, on time after work, overtime must be overtime, must comply with national legal holiday, I think this is the work of others on the right track, I think my idea is correct, so I thought stubborn, where the mess is the wrong approach, where in fact do what is right or wrong, think about it now how naive I was, ah, must be busy in the choice of life to seek for rest, is it contradictory Why?)

visit Artest: Artest sister is a beautiful gentle girl, every time visit she would touch my heart, inexplicable, a 29-year-old woman in Beijing, there is room car, perhaps in the huge city of Beijing, it was nothing, but to me this is just step Xiao Nizi society can be on the different, the 29-year-old with the others all the time, sit safely on the birth of a baby, and this is how comfortable a thing, do I look like 29 years old, that is, five years later ? Youth does not seem too much. Artest seems to be a lucky sister Angel, along with her always smooth sailing, but her experience also tells me that we must IBASE connections, do not know when you can change your life, even if does not change, but also will have a significant role, impact, therefore, is vital contacts, contacts will be GUANG IBASE Magi, then the method also highlights the interaction with others out, which are subject to further study. (Sometimes, people always easy to be fooled by the surface of prosperity, slowly, I told her the envy of the original and becomes the ultimate sympathy and compassion, longing for her own the wealth of material at the same time has lost the most precious spiritual wealth, marriage and love have become sacrificial lambs in this beautiful material, maybe I know enough about her, can not clearly know her true thoughts, but from a general consideration of the ethical standards up, she lived in the root below the standard line, I have no way to evaluate other people's right or wrong, only that too much smoke and mirrors society more stringent demands on themselves, as a woman, be sure to follow their own standards and principles alive, no longer blind the envy of any person)
