Since the outbreak of the current round of the epidemic in Shanghai in early March, various messages for help have been pouring out.
On April 30, the "Beijing Youth Daily" published a report focusing on the millions of migrant workers in Shanghai and their lives that have been brought to a standstill due to the epidemic, drawing attention.
The report mentioned that Dahong Village, Malu Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, where migrant worker Li Xianglun is located, began to be closed.
The 61-year-old works as a quality inspector in a factory. During an 8-hour or 12-hour shift, he has to stand and conduct random inspections on more than 30 machine tools, earning 5,000 to 6,000 yuan (RMB) per month. . The same below).
In the first two weeks, the village distributed supplies twice. The first time was a carrot and a lettuce; the second time was a purple cauliflower, two small potatoes and two small apples.
A well-meaning person in the village donated 1 kilogram of noodles, 3 eggs, and half a kilogram of salt to each household. If you save it, you can eat it for 3 days.
Half a month later, he received 1 kilogram of flour, 1 kilogram of noodles, 5 kilograms of rice, and a 1.8-liter bucket of cooking oil. Although there are no vegetables, food is not his most important problem.
On the 14th day of the lockdown, Wu Ziliang and his co-workers only had broccoli, lettuce and sprouted potatoes in their inventory.

Also in Shanghai, Wu Ziliang, a migrant worker 20 kilometers away, and 16 construction team members are facing a shortage of food.
His construction team members come from all over the country, the youngest is 20 years old and the oldest is in his 50s.
Before the lockdown, their job was to install fire-fighting facilities for more than a dozen buildings on a construction site in Jiangqiao Town, Jiading District.
After coming to Shanghai at the end of February, 17 of them lived in a temporary dormitory on the construction site, where they all had food and lodging.
Beginning at the end of March, due to the closure and control of the epidemic, construction materials could not be transported in, and the construction site had to be shut down.
During the closure and control of Shanghai, some areas encountered problems such as inadequate basic living security and difficulty in seeking medical treatment, and even passed away without timely medical treatment.

Wu Ziliang mentioned that eating has become the biggest problem.
For the first 14 days after the lockdown, their entire stock consisted of 8 sprouted potatoes, 3 not-so-fresh broccoli, and 3 darkening lettuce.
He said there was no way for him to ask for help. "Our boss was also locked inside, and he was also not allowed to eat."
Wu Ziliang said.
One day, he discovered that two mulberry trees with young leaves on the edge of the construction site had all their leaves plucked. "I don't know who plucked them and ate them."
He began to try to ask the society for help online.
A volunteer contacted him and sent everyone a box of instant noodles.
He told the volunteers that he could actually go to the large cafeteria at the construction site to buy meals, but "a meal costs more than 20 yuan, and the price has been increasing. It's been almost a month without work, and there is no salary. If you don't eat a few meals, you won't have any money. "
The village where Li Xianglun is located is undergoing nucleic acid testing, which has become a daily routine in the village after the lockdown.

The article also mentioned another migrant worker Liang Xiangqin who had to seek help from the outside world.
On March 1, she came to Shanghai from her hometown of Jiangxi to look for a job. She has been living with her husband in the construction site dormitory in Zhangjiang Town, Pudong New Area.
For many years, her husband has been working abroad. She accompanies her studies at home and works part-time as a salesperson, earning more than 1,000 yuan per month.
Liang Xiangqin, her husband and 60 road and bridge project workers were locked up in a shed on the construction site. Handang Village is the closest village to the construction site.
During the nucleic acid work, Liang Xiangqin and the workers learned that the village had distributed several batches of supplies, including milk, bread, and salt, but the workers never received these supplies.
The foreman once contacted the person in charge of the village on behalf of the workers, but after several communications, the account was blocked by the other party.
When Liang Xiangqin's construction site was shopping before the closure, she simply bought ingredients for a few days. She thought the closure would be lifted as early as April 1.
The closure and control have not ended, and the purchased materials have been tried to save as much as possible, but the last 10 radishes are all rotten.
The canteen chefs cut off the rotten parts, pickled them with salt, and served them with rice soup in the morning.
On April 3, 2022, during the lockdown in Shanghai, volunteers delivered vegetables to local residents.

Since April 5th, rice has almost bottomed out, and rice slowly turned into porridge, and then into porridge and rice soup, and two meals a day became one porridge a day.
"Every day at 12:30 noon, everyone insisted on this for 4 days," Liang Xiangqin said.
On April 14, food had bottomed out.
Liang Xiangqin asked for help on the short film platform.
The next day, volunteers brought a box of instant noodles to each person.
That morning, they had run out of food and didn't eat breakfast.
By the river beside the construction site, weeds have sprouts.
A worker said, let's dig up wild vegetables and eat them, but Liang Xiangqin stopped them, "What if they are poisonous, we can't tell the difference."
On March 28, in Shanghai, there were few pedestrians along the Huangpu River. Some citizens looked at the scenery of Pudong from Puxi.

Before asking for help from the volunteers, Liang Xiangqin also called the government hotline, and someone brought some flour and a few vegetable packets, which contained green peppers, eggplants, and cucumbers.
But for 60 people, these supplies could not last for a few meals.
At noon that day, the canteen cook fried eggplants, but "no one dared to add more".
Everyone was reluctant to eat instant noodles. Liang Xiangqin and her husband cooked one and a half packs when they were hungry. The two of them ate at most two meals a day.
Different from the monthly payment of wages in the factory, many migrant workers on construction sites only pay after the completion of the project.
For migrant workers, the shutdown cuts off their income, which is their biggest heart ailment.
On April 26, the staff carried out relevant inspections at the station and other crossings to minimize the output of risk personnel and prevent the spillover of the epidemic.

It is rare and fortunate to be able to guarantee income during the lockdown period.
On March 31, Li Xianglun's former colleague Liu Sheng received news from the company that the factory needed to arrange some people to work for a few days.
Before the epidemic, the factory consciously reserved some production materials. When he left, he was locked in the factory. He originally thought it would only take a few days, "but now it's almost a month."
There is no dormitory in the factory. Liu Sheng lives in a temporary vacated office, with cardboard on the floor and sleeping bags on it.
I don't live in the rented house, but I still have to pay the rent.
Fortunately, the three meals can be solved in the factory, but the dishes in the cafeteria are also easy-to-store dishes such as radishes, onions, and potatoes. He has not eaten green leafy vegetables for a long time.
Liu Sheng said that in the WeChat group of the village workers, strangers always came in after the epidemic, claiming that they could help everyone buy vegetables at low prices.
But after receiving the money, the person disappeared and was later proven to be a liar.
Being able to go to work has made Liu Sheng's heart a lot less burdensome. He told his family about the Shanghai epidemic and comforted them, "I'm at work, I'm fine."

It was mentioned in the article that although I was fortunate to be able to keep my income, the materials prepared in Liu Sheng's factory could not last for a few days, and "it will almost be the end of the month."
This also means that Liu Sheng's work and income will also be suspended if the production materials are used up before the resumption of work.
On April 22, the Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Current Service Guarantee for Migrant Workers", which clarified that the human resources and social security departments will strengthen the cooperation with Fangcang shelter hospitals, various supply guarantee enterprises, and enterprises that have resumed work and production. Docking and coordinating various forces to help migrant workers find jobs nearby.
We will spare no effort to safeguard the rights and interests of migrant workers in terms of work remuneration and occupational protection, and will further unblock the channels for migrant workers' rights protection complaints, and release policy information in a timely manner.
At the press conference on epidemic prevention and control on the morning of April 24, Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said that from the recent epidemic data, the number of new positive infections is still relatively large, and it is in a state of high volatility. It is because of the rise of clustered epidemics in some construction sites and enterprises.
In response to the gathering situation of construction sites and enterprises, the prevention and control departments at the city and district levels will further strengthen the "quartet responsibility", strengthen health monitoring and personnel screening, do a good job in environmental disinfection in relevant areas, and strictly implement personal protection measures.

It has been closed and controlled for nearly a month. On April 27, the village where Li Xianglun lives has been transferred from a closed and controlled area to a controlled area.
He said that the village, which had been silent for a long time, regained some vigor.
In the morning, I can see people in twos and threes chatting and laughing together in the village, and there are also people fishing by the river.
He wrote in his diary, "I feel that the day when the lockdown is lifted should not be far away. This feeling is like seeing a ray of light in the long darkness."
