自16岁起,河南周口农民张彦民几乎走遍了大半个中国,但不论做什么都赚不到钱,只好踏踏实实来到北京地铁的建设工地。这位34岁的农民正面临新的难题:在故乡失去了土地,在城里打工又不足以支撑生活的成本,生活该怎么办?不敢在城里生病腊月的北京,寒风刺骨。对于大自然的变化,张彦民感知的却并不明显,因为他每天要有近10个小时是在地下工地度过的,除此之外,就只有吃饭和睡觉。 Since the age of 16, Zhang Yanmin, a farmer in Zhoukou, Henan, traveled almost half of China. However, he did not make any money whatsoever and he had to come down to the construction site of the Beijing Metro. The 34-year-old peasant is facing new problems: losing his land in his hometown and not enough to support the cost of living in the city. What should he do with his life? Zhang Yanmin’s perception of the changes in nature is not obvious, because he spends nearly 10 hours a day on underground sites, except for eating and sleeping.
