The worst part of this wave of outbreak in Guangzhou is in Haizhu District, and the worst part of Haizhu District is the urban villages of Kangle Village, Kecun, and Datang Village, which stretches for several kilometers. Kangle Village, in particular, has become the main place of this wave of epidemic. In Guangzhou, urban villages not only record the history of the clans that moved south to escape the war, cultivated and reproduced until they became prosperous and became a prestigious clan, but also witness the new generation of immigrants in the city to fight for their dreams and struggle for the difficult course. For example, in Kangle Village, which has been affected by the epidemic, more than 100,000 outsiders have gathered to work here. According to relevant data, as of the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, there are 293 urban villages in Guangzhou, distributed in 11 districts of Guangzhou, and many of them can be traced back to hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Xiancun, another famous urban village in Guangzhou, is still under construction.

What exactly is going on in Guangzhou's urban villages in 30 days, follow me to find out.

The working girls on Recruitment Street

Recruitment Street is quiet. This is very unusual.

The street is about 900 meters long and runs through two urban villages in Guangzhou, Kangle and Lujiang. In the past, it was often in the public eye because of the news of "labor difficulties". Along the way is crowded with garment factory bosses, who are carrying sample clothes, and casually tear off a piece of cardboard skin, write down the types of work needed and the price of work, is a recruitment sign. Clothing workers like a tidal wave gathered around, ask about the process, or try to piecework price up another one or two dollars. Sometimes the crowd is so large that delivery vans and small three-wheelers get stuck in the crowd, and the city manager has to take a loud speaker and repeatedly play a reminder: "Recruitment on both sides, don't block the middle of the road". The clamor can last from 8 a.m. to late at night, and even in the early morning.

It is like a flowing canal, a constant flow of labor in every aspect of the garment industry, and full of money.

Chen Yue, a girl from Hubei, went to the street for the first time, and felt that this was the scene of the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve, "a sea of people, all heads." More than a month ago, she just arrived in Guangzhou, led by fellow townspeople to the recruiting street, looking for a car sweatshirt sleeves and collars of work. As a result, only one day of work, earned 100 or so dollars, sealing control came.

October 23rd, more than 4:00 pm, see the downstairs of the nucleic acid point suddenly formed a long queue, in the rental house to rest she was very puzzled. In Kangle Village, the small workshop-style garment factories scattered around every corner basically do not check the nucleic acid, and there are not many people lining up on weekdays. The official news soon came out - October 23, Haizhu District found a case of nucleic acid test positive people, its activities involving urban villages, garment factories, regional nucleic acid screening in the presence of five other abnormal samples.

The various entrances and exits of the urban village are stopped on the water horse, only in and out. Recruitment Street has quickly cooled down, many restaurants and clothing stores on both sides of the street pulled down the roller shutters, and occasional pedestrians walked through the street. By 9:00 pm, a small garment factory owner received a community notice, Kang Le, Heron River area within the garment factory from 24th 00:00 onwards, stopping work and production for three days.

People were initially free to move around the village without much concern. In the past three years, the village has also carried out a few universal Nucleic Acid and temporary closure, as short as three days, as long as a week, it is back to business as usual. Until then, there hasn't been a single positive case in Kangle Village.

Chen Yue is not nervous, just after seeing the small supermarket shelves of instant noodles all snatched up, also followed to buy some. Also stocked up on potatoes, resistant to storage. Just moved to Kangle Village, the rental house has nothing, and bought an electric kettle, an electric cooking pot that can put down some noodles.

She can't do much more than that. There is no refrigerator in the rental house to stock up on supplies. The so-called kitchen, in fact, is just a sink and a cutting board.

Before she became a garment worker, Chen Yue had worked in an electronics factory, sold cell phones, and worked as a clerk. Two years ago, she began to follow her cousin to learn to pedal motors and cut clothes. She is 28 years old and comes from Jingmen, Hubei province, where every family makes clothes in her hometown. There are small workshops with a few people and garment factories with dozens of people, and every process of making clothes is spread out in her hometown as a full-fledged assembly line. She feels that making clothes is more tiring than all the jobs she used to be exposed to, sitting in front of the sewing machine, without ten hours to come down, but the income is also a little higher.

Chen Yue went to Guangzhou only to think that "the price of work outside should be higher than at home". She hopes to seize the time to do two more months, earn a sum of money to go home for the New Year.

Almost all of the workers on the recruitment street have the same idea. Most of them are temporary workers, waiting for work from 8 a.m. and earning a day's pay for a day's work. A 30-year-old garment worker said, "Long-term workers can only get a stable wage, while temporary workers have bargaining space in the peak season." He can earn two to three thousand dollars more, and save enough money to go home and marry his wife earlier.

To be honest, Chen Yue doesn't really like life here. When she first arrived at Kangle Village, her first impression was that there were a lot of people and garbage all over the place. The agent took to see the room, she had to pay twenty dollars to see the fee. Finally, she chose a single room, "very small, very small", but the rent is still 1,000 yuan, and the monthly utility bills also have to add another three degrees. She didn't know why, but asked the other workers and they all said, "It's like that here." She accepted. Leisure Village has its own rules of operation, and coming here means accepting it all.

It was also in Kangle Village that she first learned that there were bedsit rooms that cost more than ten dollars a night, where a dozen or so people could live in a single room, and that many of the tenants in them were older, who found it hard to find work, or porters in the nearby fabric market, who didn't know any dressmaking skills and could only sell their labor.

During this time, Chen Yue sometimes think of the people living in these houses. This time, the Guangzhou epidemic is most serious in the village of Lujiang, Kangle. With the escalation of control, the supermarkets were closed, and so were the food markets. By the end of October, almost all buildings required tenants to "stay home". She and her roommates at least have electric kettles, electric cooking pots, those crowded in a small room how to do it, many people do not cook on weekdays, "may not have hot water without a bowl.

Hubei boss's sewing machine

130 square meters of the plant for the first time completely quiet, can not hear a sewing machine tread sound, only the phone from time to time ringing message push.

Before receiving the stoppage notice, Li Hong, the owner of the small garment factory, had just received two customers with three thousand pieces of clothes to cut. She was ready to rush a busy time before the double eleven, at least to save this year's dismal business. Rush before the sealing control, one of the customers to the fabric into the village, urging Li Hong secretly rushed to work. But Li Hong can not dare to take risks, "start work on the fine of 30,000, closed the factory for half a month."

Epidemic a few years, Li Hong face the most is this uncertainty. She left Hubei to Guangdong in her early twenties, and has been crawling around in the ground in Guangdong for nearly 30 years, and has been working in Kangle Village for 10 years.

People living here are accustomed to calling Kangle Village and Lujiang Village together as the Kangle Area. The two urban villages are extremely close to each other, with a total area of only about 1 square kilometer. They have a unique geographical advantage, next to the Zhongda Fabric Market, the peak of China's half of the clothes from the Zhongda market.

In the 1990s, a group of garment processing factories flooded into the two urban villages, renting homes and opening factories. Bosses ordered fabrics in the morning at CUHK, turned into Kangle Village to find someone to process them, and picked them up at night. Local villagers began to build buildings on a large scale, one next to another, the spacing is very narrow, open the window and the opposite neighbor hand in hand, so it is called "handshake building". Area is not enough, it began to grow upward, from two or three floors to six or seven floors. Public data shows that the two villages have only six or seven thousand locals, but there are more than 100,000 foreigners.

More than 100,000 foreigners in the population, and Hubei people in the majority. They are the earliest batch of gold diggers, relying on the tradition of "hometowns with hometowns" to give the two villages the nickname of "Hubei Village". They threw their youth on a sewing machine, some people have enough money, and buy their own sewing machine, sign a pull, do a small boss.

Li Hong and her husband worked half their lives to help their son get married before taking out their savings at the end of 2018 and borrowing another 100,000 to buy a small factory to go it alone. In Kangle Village, even if you just sew a button, you can find specialized skilled workers. The factory's orders didn't stop for a whole year. Sometimes the volume of goods is too large to finish, they will also be distributed to outside manufacturers who did not receive orders.

The first year, they paid off their borrowed debt, and after 2019, the money to buy the factory was filled, Li Hong and her husband planned to continue to do a big job, "who knows the epidemic came." Even if there is no epidemic in Kangle Village, but there is an epidemic in the surrounding area, there are fewer workers, robbing workers to coax up wages is enough for her to suffer. For a while, a temporary worker had to be given six hundred a day, and those who were quick with their hands even had to give up to nine hundred or a thousand.

Li Hong said that in the past two years, the order of the customer is much more cautious, how much the season needs to do how much, do not dare to stock, for fear of meeting the closure of the control can not send goods. She received more than Southeast Asia and Africa's foreign trade orders, some customers to other countries to order, she can only contact everywhere looking for new orders, patchwork to support the factory.

This time, honestly stop working for three days, Li Hong feels that he is considered a smart time. "Now look, if you cut a big loss, sneak done can not be shipped out, and finally can only be treated as garbage goods. 3 yuan a piece of selling, a dress fabric will be about 10 yuan, labor 12 yuan, you say three thousand pieces of clothing loss how much money?"

However, as the sealing control continues, she is no longer worried about just business. Fear of infection in the rental room, October 27, she and her husband brought bedding, live in the factory, in a row of foot sewing machines and a concrete wall in the aisle, with benches spelled out two one-meter-wide cribs. The only cooking tool was an electric cooking pot.

The factory's eight long-term workers, are Li Hong relatives and friends, three took the initiative to go outside the isolation, the other two couples live in a piece, do not have to worry about Li Hong. The remaining 51-year-old single female workers, also moved to the factory, and Li Hong squeeze a "bench bed", Li Hong husband sleep another.

Li Hong has not been able to sleep well, "can not sleep, sleep also seems to wake up, there are a few groups at any time to see the dormitory group, the factory group, the message is changing all the time."

The landlord and the "loud public"

Feng Lun, a real estate developer, once envisioned an ideal city that would house 100,000 people in one square kilometer, and in his planning, he wanted people to work, live, and play happily in it, and the building would have to be as tall as the Jinmao Tower in Shanghai.

The same 100,000 people live in 1 square kilometer, and the reality of the urban villages of Kangle and Lujiang is like the exact opposite version of high-density living.

Here, the sky is just a narrow line, cut to pieces by wires twisted like a spider's web. The canopies of the first-floor stores sometimes cover the alleyways, and sunlight doesn't penetrate. People can't even line up in two rows to get their nucleic acids done in the alleyway. A Kangle Village tenant said she could put up with the rats, cockroaches and the smell of wet garbage coming through her mask, but never got used to the constant darkness of her tiny rental house, which made her feel like she was "sitting in an abyss".

Official statistics, Guangzhou, the current round of the epidemic about 90% of the infected appeared in the Haizhu District, where most of them are concentrated in the Kangle, Lujiang urban villages. To provide door-to-door service for this huge group of people, you can imagine how difficult the task is for the local community.

In an interview with Caixin, one volunteer mentioned that when distributing living supplies, they estimated that a seven-story building might house 50 people, but in fact it housed 60, 70, or even hundreds. "Maybe only the landlord or the second landlord really knows how many people actually live in a building." The volunteer said.

The Fenghe Economic Union, to which the two urban villages belong, has tried to bring landlords into the epidemic prevention management system. A notice issued on November 4 requires all members of the village and rental owners to cooperate with the epidemic prevention, each building must provide a temporary administrator, responsible for the contact management of the building, with the distribution of living materials. If you don't, you may be economically "sanctioned" to withhold the end of the year dividend.

It's hard to say whether the results of this initiative have met expectations. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it.

In fact, those who remain in the village are usually second-hand landlords, who pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the right to run a rental property and get the difference in rent. There are also administrators hired by landlords to collect utility bills and repair furniture, doors and windows on behalf of tenants on a daily basis. Epidemic is coming, the administrator of the weekdays do not speak much, Chen Yue understanding, "special moment he certainly do not want to head." By the end of October, the epidemic is really serious, the administrator will pull all the tenants into the same WeChat group, play a role in about nothing.

The next few days, Chen Yue received two supplies, are community epidemic prevention staff and volunteers sent. The supplies were mainly fast food, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, lunch meat, milk, egg pancakes, and a few vegetables.

Zhang Yangyang, a 35-year-old native of Wuhan, Hubei, owns a one-story store in Lujiang Village. The situation is more complicated in the six-story building where the store is located. The building was built by an old local man, who in turn gave it to his son. "But this son is a loser", a lack of money, sell a floor, six floors ended up with six landlords, including Zhang Yangyang. She felt that even if she had to manage, perhaps it would be difficult to reconcile the same opinion.

Zhang Yangyang was 13 years old when she lived with her parents in Kangle Village. Her parents ran a clothing accessory store in Kangle Village, selling every kind of accessory you can think of for clothes, such as embroidery and beading. She also got married and had children here, and also started a clothing accessories business.

Zhang Yangyang, who is now starting her own business in a foreign country, hardly ever contacts her tenants, "I know that tenants over there don't like their landlords very much, so I basically just signed the contract and disappeared from in front of him." She describes the relationship between tenants and landlords in the village as "both fearful and hateful, but inseparable."

But she sees Kangle Village as another hometown, and often misses the warmth of favors in this business community. In Kangle Village, favors are often more useful than rules and contracts. "The character of people over there is I like you, I'll let you make money." Zhang Yangyang said that the money she made and the stores she bought were all thanks to their warm-heartedness. This time, she took the initiative to send a message to her tenant to waive one month's rent.

Not all landlords have such a good heart, 35-year-old Xu Xiaozhen tentative with the landlord to ask if they can consider reducing the rent, the landlord has not replied. They rented this stall, and have to pay more than 10,000 "entrance fee" every year. Zhang Yangyang said, many landlords expired deliberately not renewed, "not to let you go, anyway, not worry about rent."

Xu Xiaozhen work in the nearby fabric market, her husband rented a 12-square-meter stall in the village of Kangle, specializing in garment printing business, this stall is both store, the night the shutter is pulled down, but also the couple's dormitory. She rarely sees the landlord, the middle-aged man who inherited a building from his father, "every time he comes is to copy the utility bills and collect rent."

After the union issued a notice, Xu Xiaozhen's landlord picked a tenant to be the building manager. After all the village stores closed, the tenant bought groceries through online software. When the food is delivered, it is placed at Post 7 at the entrance and exit of the urban village, and then sent to each building in the village by the epidemic prevention staff, and then distributed to each household by the building manager.

The process was perfect, but Xu Xiaozhen remembers that it was only implemented for about three days before no one sent the vegetables in. She heard that it was because many of the volunteers who delivered the groceries were diagnosed positive, and the manpower was greatly reduced.

Xu said they had to keep an eye out for "loudhailers" (hand-held megaphones) themselves every day. Xu Xiaozhen and her husband's stall on the first floor, every day, when they hear the sound, they will probe out to look, see wearing protective clothing staff with "loud male" shouting nucleic acid, or distribution of supplies, in the building of the WeChat group to remind a word.

A couple Xu Xiao-zhen knows also has two children, living deep in an alley. Every time the supplies are distributed, Xu Xiaozhen always remembers to talk to the couple, reminding them not to miss it. "We're all strangers in a strange land." She said.

During the closure, many garment workers nestled in rented houses with nothing to do but sleep, and could miss the nucleic acid test if they weren't paying attention. Live in the lower floors of the garment workers even some fortunate to be able to hear more clearly "loud public" in the notification. 1:00 a.m. on November 5, live in the second floor of the Chen Yue heard staff holding up the loudspeaker shouting, "This building has Yang, all the large area of the transfer, pack a change of clothes to go to the quarantine. "

She and her friend hurriedly picked two clothes and went downstairs. In the alleyway, crowded, a crowd of people. Chen Yue has not cared about cross-infection this matter, "transfer out of the conditions must be more comfortable, at least three times a day can eat rice." There are also some workers who live farther away, did not hear the loudspeaker, but in the WeChat group to see other people sent the transfer notice, but also continue to go downstairs, row into the end of the queue.

Waiting until 7 or 8 a.m., Chen Yue boarded a bus to Huizhou quarantine.

People waiting to leave

Transferring people en masse, which was previously used by several major cities to prevent epidemics in urban villages, is also Guangzhou's response this time. According to a Nov. 5 news conference in Guangzhou, the city transferred and quarantined about 31,000 people in the last three days, with support from neighboring cities.

Zhang Zhoubin, secretary of the Party committee of Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the inner part of the urban villages are mostly small streets and narrow alleys, and the air circulation in the whole area is not smooth, and the virus is very easy to form an aerosol that is difficult to dissipate in a short period of time within the area. To solve this problem, the best way is to transit isolation, significantly reducing the population density in the entire risk area.

November 6, 9 pm, "loud male" came to the downstairs of the Li Hong plant: "everyone out of isolation hurry to pack up things downstairs, early queue early car, late again to line up a long queue."

She was still a little hesitant, leaning out of the window to ask the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, and found that the original said not to leave the people have decided to leave, and then hurried to discuss with her husband to pack up a change of clothes, go downstairs, and take a shortcut to the card to queue up.

It was drizzling in Kangle Village that night, with umbrellas rubbing against each other. There are N95 masks, there are ordinary masks, and stand in front of Li Hong pull down the mask to smoke, she stood to the side, with the umbrella blocking. By one in the morning, a staff member squeezed in, with a loudspeaker to inform everyone that there are no empty seats, but the queue is not willing to go back, the alley began to complain about the sound, "Yesterday waited for seven or eight hours also said that there is no car without a hotel, and today it is again like this."

The people who do not want to leave have been suffering until three o'clock, during which every moment there are staff to spray alcohol. Li Hong side of a four or five-year-old child fell asleep, was wrapped in his mother's clothes, sitting under the eaves. At almost four o'clock, Li Hong decided to give up and return to the plant.

Every day, looking at the new cases and short videos of long lines of people in transit, Li Hong always said she was afraid. She was afraid to stay in Kangle, no one will come to take care of them in the future. But she is also afraid of cross-infection, and does not dare to go out and line up again.

A friend who was diagnosed and went to isolation told Li Hong: "No shit after the well, the beginning of the headache and no strength, just drink boiled water every day, and then it's fine." But there are also people told her that there are sequelae, Li Hong can not figure out, "psychological are no bottom, do not know what the situation."

In the rental houses of Kangle Village, the only places where people have access to sunlight are balconies and windows. Yet as the number of cases increased, the space that was once a place to get information and light became an intimidating presence.

Li Hong closed all the windows and doors of the plant, and only opened the windows to dry clothes when the sun was beating down. Sometimes looking down from inside the window, there was a constant stream of people pulling boxes for transit.

Kang Le village, a Fujian couple with a 6-year-old child, the man has a habit of drinking tea, specially in a narrow strip of the balcony set a tea table, ready for a full set of tea utensils. Then two positive cases came out from the opposite building. The host hurriedly moved the tea table into the room. The hostess also closed the doors and windows tightly, she said she was worried about the child in case of infection, will leave sequelae. But she couldn't say what the after-effects would be.

Xu Xiaozhen didn't seal the windows shut; she still had to keep an eye on them to see if anyone was sending out supplies or to notify the nucleic acid test. It's just that she and her husband wore masks the entire time they were in the house, except when they ate and slept. She worries about causing trouble for the anti-epidemic workers, "They're working hard, too, and I'm not going to make trouble for them."

She is not afraid of infection. She is afraid of the end of the year before the end of the peak season of dressmaking just passed. She has four children, the oldest just started high school, everywhere is the use of money. There are also parents back home in Heyuan, Guangdong Province, also waiting for the couple to send money home.

"The biggest fear is that I closed more than 20 days, to the end of the Yang, then the front of the persistence are in vain. And then the people in front of Yang have been cured and can move freely, and I still have to go to the square cabin, to isolation, a waste of time isn't it?" She said, "I am now thinking as long as I can go out, go to other places to find things to do, more or less income, can earn some money back in the New Year."

Double 11 many days past, Li Hong also still miss it. She said she "lost her heart this year". This Hubei woman in Guangdong "exhausted the youth", "the child did not take care of, the grandchildren did not bring". Now looking back at life, she felt like back to square one.

But now, all they can do is wait, not only to leave the village, but also waiting to leave Guangzhou.

November 13, Fenghe Economic Union issued a public notice informing the book, will be carried out on the Kanglu area for a month of comprehensive management work, requiring the area within the scope of all rental owners and residents of the masses temporarily return to their hometowns or relatives and friends, to be the end of the management of the work, the residents of the masses can then return to the area. The same day, Li Hong in the group to see the notice, "was scheduled to send back to the Haizhu Feng Yang Street guests unified centralized sent to Guangzhou South Railway Station".

The notice also reads, "Since the 1990s, after nearly 30 years of development, Kanglu Area has become a nationally recognized entrepreneurial port for workers coming to Guangzhou." However, it also mentions that there are many problems in the urban village because of the lack of pre-planning.

In fact, the renewal and transformation of Kangle Village and Lujiang Village has been on the agenda for a long time, and it is planned that the construction of resettlement houses will start before the end of 2023, and the construction of resettlement houses will be basically completed before the end of 2025. The huge investment is the largest old reform project in Guangzhou.

Li Hong does not know, next year, those few relatives and friends will continue to follow their own work, if the demolition, she wanted to sell the factory, back home to help his son to do the factory work. Now, like Mr. and Mrs. Xu Xiaozhen, she and her husband filled out the application form for returning home and the voluntary segregation form, waiting for the arrival of the transfer vehicle.

A few days ago, Chen Yue had successfully passed the seven-day quarantine period and was sent to Guangzhou South Railway Station. She contacted her village council, which was willing to take her home. Only the clothing business in her hometown has also been affected by the epidemic, and her neighbor's sister has been on vacation for some days. She's still thinking about her next job, but surely it won't be long before she's working again. After all, as long as life goes on, earning money has to go on.

Guangzhou under the epidemic in the village

Guangzhou wave of the epidemic is the most powerful in the Haizhu District, and Haizhu District, the most powerful is the Kangle Village, Hakkai Village, Datang Village, this piece of the urban village stretches for several kilometers. Kangle Village, in particular, has become the main site of this wave of outbreaks.

In Guangzhou, urban villages are not only a record of the history of the clans that moved south to escape the war, and cultivated the land until they became a prosperous family, but also a witness to the new generation of immigrants in the city to fight for the dream of a difficult journey. One urban village is like a utopia, carrying the struggles and nostalgia of outsiders in Guangzhou. For example, the Kangle village, which was hit by the epidemic, has gathered more than 100,000 outsiders to work here.

How many urban villages are there in Guangzhou?

According to the data, as of the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, there are 293 urban villages in Guangzhou, distributed in 11 districts of Guangzhou, and many of them can be traced back to hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

How are urban villages formed?

Urban villages are created in the context of rapid industrialization and urbanization. For example, in Guangzhou, with the expansion of urban land, more and more villages on the outskirts of the city have been annexed to the urban land, surrounded by high-rise buildings, resulting in a unique phenomenon of "city surrounded by countryside". Urban villages are managed under the dual system of urban and rural areas and the household registration system, and the original residents are all born and raised in the local area, and the land is collectively owned by the village, and the original residents own the property rights of the houses.

Positive significance of urban villages

Firstly, it promotes the economic development of the city: urban villages create the conditions for the foreign population to stay in Guangzhou, to build Guangzhou, to develop Guangzhou, and better promote the development of Guangzhou's urban economy.

The second is to protect the historical lineage: urban villages still retain a lot of local historical and cultural heritage, urban villages have maintained a certain "village" qualities, the historical lineage of clan temples and ancestral halls can be preserved, such as the Dragon Boat Racing, Beggar's Festival and other customs in the urban villages have been preserved.

Old reform of Guangzhou's urban villages in progress - Xiancun

The old reform of Xiancun, another famous urban village in Guangzhou, is still in full swing. The movie "A Rainy Cloud in the Wind" is based on the 2010 demolition case of Xiancun in Guangzhou, documenting the era of reform and opening up with a story spanning 30 years. Regarding the "story" of Xiancun, articles such as "Guangzhou's "10 billion village official" flees, backed by the vice mayor of Xiancun for 33 years" and "Why the demolition of Xiancun, Guangzhou, has reached a stalemate" are still circulating on the Internet. If you are interested, you can search the internet for your own ideas.
