American Legendary Life

In New York, Wall Street is famous all over the world.

But few people know that turning right from the southern end of Wall Street is another world.

There are very few people coming in and going out here, and it is also the habitat of the Chinese in New York.

In 1900, there were only 6,000 Chinese here.

But by 1932, there were more than 20,000 Chinese here.

The streets are flat dirt roads, and the houses are mostly concrete structures, with three, four, and five floors.

New York is the earliest group of Chinese immigrants who arrived here in 1848.

Around Chinatown, there are Jewish neighborhoods, Puerto Rico (Indian) neighborhoods, and Italian immigration neighborhoods.

Because of the early arrival, coupled with the rapid development of New York, here are all people from East Guangdong and Gangjiang, who have a flexible mind, so they all have a good life.

This is like an independent kingdom. Many people live in this small world for half their lives in dialects.

Each block of ethnic minorities is an independent kingdom, not interfering with each other, each with a strong folk customs.

Not in America, it's really difficult to understand its complexity.

Just like Yan Yan, an auto parts factory where she is working, all of them are Israeli immigrants, and they only speak ancient Yiddish.

Thanks to this experience, she learned the daily communication of this ancient language.

She also learned Cantonese and Hakka with the female workers who wash dishes in the restaurant.

There will be new immigrants from time to time in these places, walking into these longing places.

With his head full of dreams of living in a foreign house, driving a foreign car, and marrying a foreign woman.

Chinatown is no exception. A group of new immigrants arrived here in February.

"Later child, labor!" They just came in and they met the boss who wanted to hire someone.

Especially the half-size and strong-bodied, the most questioned.

"How much is artificial?" Zhao Asi was also one of them. Seeing the enthusiasm of his compatriots, he felt that the dream in his heart was closer to reality.

"It's all your own people, don't treat you wrong, here!" Zhao Asi was so unkempt by the enthusiastic boss.

Work 13 hours a day and earn 10 cents a day.

No matter what you eat, the most important thing in the restaurant is leftovers.

The accommodation is a 5-square-meter house, where three layers of wooden boards are built with bed boards and irons, and each layer sleeps 3 to 4 people.

Money is deducted for doing wrong things, such as breaking things, making mistakes and offending customers.

Hearing that the boss had finished speaking, Zhao Asi could be spoiled. With a monthly salary of 8 yuan, he couldn't earn a lifetime in his hometown!

Zhao Asi only felt that he was full of energy, and he went directly to the kitchen that day, brushing dishes, boiling water, washing vegetables, and delivering meals.

At the end of the month, he also received a salary, returned to the house with money, counted over and over, over and over again, but he was reluctant to let go.

"Are you very happy?" Lazy laughter came from the upper berth: "Idiot."

"What did you say?" Zhao Asi sat up and said with a black face.

"I said you are an idiot!" The voice of the upper berth exclaimed: "Going out from here, 3 US dollars can make you live a week at most, and thought you made a lot of money, ha-"

Zhao Asi's cognition was impacted. For him who is illiterate, if he has a big ocean, then he is a rich man. How can there be less 8 big oceans? "

...

...

The Gulfstream One had not yet returned from China. Li Zitao and his fiancee chose to take a cruise to Honolulu.

"Oh my god, this is terrible." When the never-married husband learned that the salary of the Chinese worker was only $3, Adelaide couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

But this is not illegal. In this era when there is no minimum wage and maximum working hours, all treaties must be signed by both parties.

In the ‘independent kingdoms’, the guilds that should protect the laborers are in the hands of the capital, which has to be said to be ironic.

"Yes!" Li Zitao didn't know how he felt when he said this.

At A.O. Smith, the piglets without status can also get a salary of 8 dollars, which was still 3 years ago.

Now the average worker of A.O Smith field, as long as he is willing to work, the monthly salary can reach 26 dollars.

According to think tanks, salary in Chinatown has always been at the bottom.

Three years ago, the monthly salary of the Jinjiang Hotel was US$1 and 40 cents. Finally, the employees protested collectively and won a salary of US$3.

I haven't moved since then, and what remains is clear, and no one will hire them when they go out.

Unless to dig gold and repair the railway.

But both of these are life-threatening tasks. Even if you are digging for gold or not, you still have to say that if you dig it out, you don’t even know.

Railways and laborers will be sent to the most difficult sections. The Western Central Railway does not know how many Chinese laborers' bodies have been buried.

If it were not for the think tank to investigate the flow of donations, Li Zitao really did not know about this situation.

Of course, as far as 1932 was concerned, it was good to have a job.

According to a reporter's report, as of 1932 this year, 34 million adult men in the United States did not work.

This does not include the 11 million farmers and cowboys in the countryside. Their lives can only rely on various kinds of relief. Cold.

UUS produced only 201 motorcycles in 14 months.

Before the Great Depression, its sales were 600 vehicles per year.

The same shock also affected the automotive manufacturing and aviation sectors, and the latest briefings from think tanks were bleak and clouded.

In the 9 months since the launch of the BMW309 series, only 116 have been sold.

American Aerospace, which merged with United Airlines, saw passenger traffic fall another 8 percentage points.

From the beginning of the Great Depression to the present, the total decline has been 42%.

From the beginning of the year to now, Franklin, Cod, and Durant, three automakers of the same size as Cadillac filed for bankruptcy.

There are more than 5,000 bankruptcies and liquidations across the country, and the number of closed businesses in all industries is close to 70,000.

Relying on the transportation of the Hoover Dam and the desert town, Aeth, whose profit showed an increase, was once again slapped back to its place, and it consistently maintained a loss.

"Hoover rang the bell and Wall Street signaled that the United States was rushing to hell--" Adelaide pressed her chest with her hand, feeling a sense of depression that was hard to breathe.

She initially understood that she chose to maintain market freedom when she waited.

But now the national economy of the United States can be described as erosion. If it continues in this way, even the roots will be destroyed. Has Washington actually not moved?

"Perhaps our Mr. President, thinking about how to survive the next few months, handing over the mess to his successor."

Campaign speeches have already begun, and think tanks sent 23 think tanks.

Headed by Mahathir, who is good at legal affairs, and Maiton, who is good at financial economy, assisted Roosevelt to officially join the presidential election.
