Today is May 1, many shops are closed as the new labor law defines today is a public holiday for all labors, workers who work today can entitle to receive double pay wages and an extra day off.
For people who need not to work, we should feel lucky.
However, many people still need to go to work, especially in the labor field.
The helper of my friend, helps to take care of two kids, usually works during public holiday.
Today, she also gets a day off, she does not go out to meet her friends, instead, she goes to Zhuhai to see her son.
I met this housemaid several times, and she is very nice and pleasant all the time.
She is from the farmland far away of Hanoi, she told me her husband passed away long time, and she has three kids at home. The elder one is in university now.
She works very hard to send money back home. And she earns about 3200 patacas per month. Today, she is very happy as she goes to Zhuhai to see his son who is working in Zhuhi factory. He earns about 1500 Yuen.
Whenever I hear other people's stories, I always feel that we should be grateful for what we have, as many people work very hard to make the living, and they need to separate with their beloved family members.
