Last update date: 2020-05-01 00:00Hong Kong people used to be crazy about anti-epidemic supplies, but for the cleaners who rushed on the streets every day, whether it was the price of the mask or the queue time, they also felt extravagant. When they were fried to a "high price", they encountered that the masks were wet with sweat and sewage, and they could only print them with paper towels and dry them in a ventilated place.
A group of four young people dispatched this night, carrying more than 50 anti-epidemic kits on their backs, looking for familiar figures among multiple garbage stations, whether they are cleaners, scavengers, or street sleepers, they are also the target figures, except for the hand. Bag masks are more concerned with recent life. In the eyes of the beneficiaries, they are "hearted people" and "enthusiastic people", but one of the members, Why, said that he is just a neighborhood, "It seems that I used to ask the isolation house to borrow soot, and I borrowed washing powder to make you ... We are only talking between the neighborhoods, and it is more blessed to talk about giving than receiving. "

Daily dinner at the garbage station
During the day, they return to work and school like ordinary people. At night, they form a team of supplies. They are dispatched at least once a month. Each combination may be different. This evening, the reporter followed four young people in their twenties-Jiahui, Adi, Why and Alice visited their familiar community and went to five garbage stations in two and a half hours. They were no strangers when they met cleaners, such as the neighborhood.
Walking into the garbage station, the cleaner just cooked the food. The weather was hot and the mask was wet. When it was not enough, I had to add paper towels. Fortunately, the supply of masks is not tight. The monthly anti-epidemic hardship allowance of 1,000 yuan Can help to buy masks, food.
Another garbage station remained unrepaired after the fire, and it was dim and cramped. Some cleaners worked in the dark, and a white mask oozed out a pool of sweat. I am still grateful for a job under the epidemic. There ’s a little pressure, but at least it ’s clean and working. ” When I handed over the mask, I asked, "Is the equipment enough?", "Wear a hat and an eye mask. It's so baked and sweaty." So the eye mask is rarely used, but she said that she would be scared when cleaning. Way, try to be careful! "
On the roadside, I also met a cleaning worker who was resting, and his forehead was covered with sweat beads. He said bluntly, "I need to use two or three masks a day, one company, and the other buy it myself." 50 yuan for 300 yuan, you can only use one per day, wet wipe with paper towels, dry it in a ventilated place to dry it, but the temperature gradually soars to the three-character head, "sometimes it is too hot to bury the shirt ".

Volunteers lament cleaners to compromise work
On the way, I met the mother-in-law who was picking up wasteland, and was constantly instructed to "Do not wash your mask, prefer to hang it on the windowsill!", "Do not be lazy and don't wear a mask!" Tell your own story: living on a high-level elderly living allowance, the daily hard papers are only tens of yuan, and I ca n’t help but have never bought a mask. Fortunately, "good-hearted people will ask me if I can't enough (mask)."
Sometimes scavengers leave their own cars to find paper, and volunteers probably guess who they are, and stuff the epidemic prevention bag into a small cloth bag on the car to prevent theft.
Jia Hui said that instead of distributing supplies from the alms point of view, it was just sharing with the neighborhood when there were more resources, and also hoped that when their listeners "must understand that the situation can be continued in the first place", some people were found from the chat The work of the two shifts every day, the information is not circulating, I do not know that the government will send them 1,000 yuan, together with the announcement of the national distribution of 10,000 yuan earlier, and even the early distribution of 4,000 yuan without knowing. Earlier, the issue of cleaners ’masks was concerned by the society. He said that although the cleaning company has provided workers with a mask for one day in recent months, it is actually not enough. The cleaners hope to have more equipment in their hearts, but they will comfort themselves. "Poor", worried about too much dissatisfaction with the company, or even lost his job, so I chose to compromise.
The cleaner was at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. Jiahui once met a house outsourcing cleaner who was assigned an eye mask similar to that used in the laboratory. After wearing it, he could not see the bottom. He almost fell down on the stairs. But wearing this pair of goggles and face masks, you have to "go into battle" to clean up the public corridor outside the unit where the suspect is diagnosed. "The cleaners have the most power. The company tells you to clean a place and you have to do it." He believes that the cleaning company hopes to complete all the work at the lowest cost, which will exploit the cleaners ’rights in disguise, but how much equipment is enough, there is no unified standard, and it is hoped that it can be stated in the contract.
During each visit, Jiahui tried to write down the names of each cleaner and scavenger. "I don't want to call my mother-in-law and uncle Qu when I want to meet. I feel like they have a great relationship." (Photo by Gao Zhongming)
The grassroots unconscious is in an unequal state
In the era of national anti-epidemic, they chose to walk with frontline cleaners. Alice, who has always been resistant to odors, took the initiative to enter the garbage station to understand the situation of the cleaning workers, and found that some of the garbage stations are unimaginably dirty. They can even be described as "tidy". They also found that the small jobs in the eyes of ordinary people have been paying silently. This is the first time she took the initiative to care about strangers.
In just two and a half hours, I received countless "thank you". Adi believes that there are limited things that can be done. Distributing supplies and assisting in applying for funding are the upper limit. Lamenting "the unconscious personal value and labor results are in an unequal state. Many people are satisfied with the current situation. I understand that Zhong Zhong wants to change the way he thinks. "

Ants moving materials
One piece of anti-epidemic materials came from the pick-up platform set up by the New Welfare Association "Caring for Poverty School". One of the coordinators, Zhao Rihui, said that he has received more than 60,000 donated masks, as well as materials such as hand rubs and bleach. Relying on a few nominal workers to distribute in the district, admitting that "even if they continue to dispatch, but the manpower is limited, it is impossible to complete."
Barely meet the material needs of some cleaners, but inequality is more obvious under the epidemic. The government's "Epigenetic and Anti-epidemic Fund" grants a monthly allowance of $ 1,000 to cleaners and security personnel, but not everyone benefits, and there are restrictions on the number of people. "A lot of grievances, but no bargaining power. Even if you want to speak, but the work seems to be easily Replace. Under the high unemployment rate, I am even more afraid of losing a job, "Zhao Rihui said helplessly. The epidemic situation has not yet ended. It is expected to be raged on an annual basis. He hopes that the cleaners will be given enough and suitable equipment to deal with their demands in a humane way, bringing a little peace of mind in the epidemic.
In recent months, the contractor issued a mask to the cleaners every day. Zhao Rihui thought it was "imperfect and acceptable." (Photo by Gao Zhongming)
