Location: Changyi, Weifang, Shandong

Xiang Yan: you can say that demographic dividend can also be achieved.

Textile workers are becoming more and more difficult to find. Most of the other factories that we were towing towels at the same time did not work.

On the first day of the lunar new year, there was an endless stream of villagers visiting the three uncle families.

Four years ago, three uncle left the old village and moved into five newly decorated houses in the new village.

Because it is still a cottage, close to the old village, so much favored by grandpa.

Three years ago, Grandpa returned from the city to the three uncle's family for the new year. Under his command, three uncle hung the family hall (a large ancestor worship picture) hanging in the south house.

There are about more than 40 villagers who move to the new village as well as the three brothers.

The old village is very close to the city, and the new village is built on the city.

The three uncle said that because of the more advanced pportation, there are fewer and fewer people working in these years to go to the city.

Three uncle go to sea

Many people in the village have to enter the factory.

"When we first started this business in 2000, skilled workers were relatively easy to recruit, and wages were low at that time."

In 2000, the three uncle working in the bank started the idea of going to sea. After many plans and plans, the three brothers set up a small factory with towel sewing.

"Textile industry is a pillar industry, and there are many people who have entered this industry in those days."

Three uncle said.

Changyi is a famous hometown of silk in history. The silk from Liu Tuan Town in the Qing Dynasty has been flowing abroad. At that time, a group of Changyi people who were carrying "willow silk" to the South were born.

Since the reform and opening up, the textile industry is still one of the pillar industries in the city, forming many kinds of large textile, such as silk, textile printing and dyeing, garment processing, and so on.

The factory is engaged in a small part of the textile industry. Its main business is sewing the finished semi finished towels, which are sold to various parts after finished products.

At the beginning of the plant, several rooms in the old village and several sewing machines were factory buildings and equipment. After receiving the order, the small factory officially started.

"When we first started this business in 2000, skilled workers were relatively easy to recruit, and wages were low at that time."

Three uncle said, after the small factory was built, many people in the village and neighbouring villages came to report to the factory.

Xiaofeng is one of them. In 2001, Xiao Feng went to the factory to look for three uncle to work in the factory. She worked as a sewing worker in the big garment factory of the city. After she married to the village, she quit the job in the city after giving birth.

Three uncle's factory is in the village, easy to go home to take care of children and make money.

"She is a skilled worker, and the wage requirement is not high, ten yuan a day."

Three uncle recalled that hiring at that time was much easier than now.
