Cohabitation of migrant workers

Hot 2782 views. 2013-7-14 23:47 | children, families, between, female, 农民工

走出家门到大城市赚钱养家,是中国亿万农民工的选择。由于各种因素,很多外出农民工无法携带家眷,夫妻二人长期分居。为了寻求心理与生理上的慰藉,越来越多的已婚打工男女组建起“临时家庭”,成为游走在伦理和法律边缘的“临时夫妻”。

As breadwinners of their families, hundreds of millions of farmer-turned migrant workers come to town out of choice. For various reasons, many of them have to leave their spouses and children behind bringing a long separation between husbands and wives. In order to seek solace both physically and psychologically, more and more married male and female workers have temporarily founded a second family exploiting their advantages with the permission of law and ethics.

Actually, the situation is worse than what you have described. The psychological and emotional trauma is unbearable to those migrant workers. It is very hard to withstand the loneliness of living and working indefinitely in an unfamiliar town with loves ones and family far away. Sometimes, I wonder what is the purpose of earning extra money when one can't even be with your own loved ones. Not everyone can withstand such testing times. The emotional sufferings reach breaking point and they snap.

The result is that these married or commit adultery workers, and fall for those who can provide them with emotional refuge. I have quite often seen girls sobbing in street corners or in the parks missing their loved ones. The authorities is aware of what is going on but try to play down these problems or just ignore their sufferings.

Thanks to industry who have set factories in different provinces and towns relieving workers from migrating to industrial towns for work.
