原創(chuàng)： 占有兵 社會紀實攝影專案

電話，對于生活在城市里的人來說，就是一個通信的工具。而對于打工者來說，意義重大，只有電話接通時，打工者才有底氣。

打工者離開家鄉(xiāng)在外面闖蕩，家里留下的有老人，還有孩子，更有自己的親友、田地、牲畜，也有自己的根。每天在生產(chǎn)線上勞作，所有的辛苦都會和干農(nóng)活相比，坐在生產(chǎn)線旁，沒有風吹雨淋，沒有農(nóng)忙，不用記住時令，只管按上面的吩咐埋頭苦干，從前被太陽曬黑的皮膚也慢慢變白了。但工作中增加了以前種地時從未有過的危險---機器會壓傷手、溶劑會傷害身體、粉塵會損壞肺、噪音會損害聽力、長時間高度緊張會危害神經(jīng)。

生產(chǎn)線上細分的工序，只和效率有關，從來不管打工者的工作興趣，每個打工者就象一個永動機，從上班到下班，不停地重復同樣的動作。生產(chǎn)線是冷漠的，既使在同一條生產(chǎn)線上的打工者，共同工作了幾年，也從來不知道前后工序工友的家庭情況，更不知道她的興趣愛好。

在東莞市的工業(yè)區(qū)里，電話亭隨處可見。這些電話亭或位于工廠旁的雜貨店外，或位于商鋪內(nèi)，甚至是廠房的屋檐下。這些電話亭，都有一個好聽的名字——“話吧”。經(jīng)營者考慮得很周全，透明玻璃隔成一個個獨立的小空間，還提供一個塑料凳子。打電話的人，便可以在這個獨立的小空間里安心話家常而不覺勞累。

外來務工者，是這些“話吧”的主要顧客。他們離開故鄉(xiāng)，來到東莞，埋頭在生產(chǎn)線上勞動。下班了，打個電話回家，與老人聊聊，與孩子嘮嘮，甚感欣慰，心里才踏實一點。

身處兩地的戀人，是“話吧”的忠實顧客，每天都會準時到來。少的半個小時，長的幾個小時，話筒貼在耳朵處，已經(jīng)發(fā)燙了，仍沒有結束的意思。每天上班時間，電話亭門可羅雀；下班了，打工者們匆匆吃完飯就直奔電話亭，開始相思之旅。

接通電話時，一切都不一樣了。家里的孩子叫一聲“媽媽”或“爸爸”，那股溫暖瞬間流遍全身，滋潤著每一個細胞。聊聊東家鄰居的事，西家親戚的情，家鄉(xiāng)生活的經(jīng)歷就歷歷在目。每天早上，開門就可以和鄰居聊幾句，在田間和鄉(xiāng)親們拉家常。一個村莊的鄉(xiāng)親，大家都熟悉，任何一家發(fā)生的事，全村人都知道。鄉(xiāng)親們過喜事，眾人齊幫手，吃飯、喝酒、打牌、聊天、開玩笑，笑聲可以傳到幾里之外，再加上鄉(xiāng)村樂隊的演出，歡樂要持續(xù)好幾天。當孩子們說起讀書的成績時，當老人們說起莊稼的長勢時，當電話中傳來鞭炮聲時，當狗叫聲、雞啼聲、蛙鳴聲響起時，家鄉(xiāng)都仿佛在眼前。

當早上的鬧鐘響起時，打工者必須得離開被窩，從排隊洗漱開始，排隊用餐，排隊上廁所，排隊打卡，排隊換工衣，排隊點名，排隊開早會，然后和生產(chǎn)線一起---運作十個小時以上。工作中的走神，又讓人惦記起昨天電話中孩子的感冒，或者老人身體的不爭氣，或者加班時間減少后收入的縮水。當一個壞品流入到下一道工序時，拉長的罵聲、主管的兇樣，都使走神蕩然無存，只有心存畏懼地關注工作，改善質(zhì)量。下班鈴響起時，匆匆忙忙地到食堂扒幾口飯，跑到電話亭打電話回家，和孩子又聊上一陣，再反反復復交待老人一通，才暫時安心一陣子。

電話接通時，也是精神落地時，就好象種地看莊稼長勢一樣的踏實。在生產(chǎn)線上勞作時，每天反反復復看到的，是同樣一種沒完沒了的產(chǎn)品，好像永遠也做不完。

電話，連接著兩地的親人，互訴衷腸，互道保重?；丶业娜兆?，愈來愈近……

Telephone is a means of communication for people living in cities. For the workers, it is of great significance. Only when the telephone is connected, can the workers have the courage.

The migrant workers leave their hometown to roam outside. There are old people and children left behind. They also have their own relatives, fields, livestock and roots. Every day in the production line, all the hard work will be compared with farming work, sitting next to the production line, no rain, no busy farming, do not remember the season, just follow the above instructions to work hard, the skin was slowly whitened by the sun. But work adds dangers never seen before when planting land - machines can crush hands, solvents can hurt bodies, dust can damage lungs, noise can damage hearing, and long periods of high stress can damage nerves.

The subdivision of the production line is only related to efficiency. No matter what the interests of the workers are, every worker acts like a perpetual motor, repeating the same actions from work to work. The production line is indifferent. Even if the workers in the same production line have worked together for several years, they never know the family situation of the workers in the same production line, nor do they know their interests and hobbies.

In the industrial district of Dongguan, telephone booths are everywhere. These telephone booths are either outside the grocery store next to the factory, or inside the shop, or even under the eaves of the factory. These telephone booths all have a beautiful name - "talk". Operators are thoughtful, with transparent glass separated into separate spaces and a plastic stool. The caller can rest assured that the speaker is not tired in this small independent space.

Migrant workers are the main customers of these "talk bars". They left their hometown and came to Dongguan to work on the production line. After work, call home, chat with the elderly, chat with the children, very gratified, just a little more down-to-earth.

Lovers in both places are loyal customers of "talk bar" and come on time every day. Less than half an hour, longer hours, the microphone sticks to the ear, has been hot, there is no end. Every day at work, the telephone booth is crowded; after work, the workers rush to the phone booth and begin the journey of acquaintance.

When you get on the phone, everything is different. The children in the family shout "Mom" or "Dad", the warm moments flow through the whole body, moistening every cell. Talking about the neighbors in the East and the relatives in the west, we can see clearly the experience of our home life. Every morning, when you open the door, you can chat with your neighbors and make a daily living in the fields and in the countryside. Everyone in a village is familiar with it. Everyone in the village knows what happened in any family. When the villagers had a happy event, they all helped, ate, drank, played cards, chatted and joked. The laughter could spread several miles away. With the performance of the country band, the joy lasted for several days. When children talk about their achievements in reading, when old people talk about the growth of crops, when firecrackers come from the telephone, when dogs bark, chickens crow and frogs crow, their hometown seems to be in front of them.

When the alarm clock rings in the morning, the workers have to leave their beds, start with washing in line, eat in line, go to the toilet in line, punch in line, change clothes in line, call names in line, hold morning meetings in line, and then run with the production line for more than ten hours. The distraction at work reminds us of the cold of our children on the phone yesterday, or the lack of energy in our old people's bodies, or the shrinkage of our income after the reduction of overtime. When a bad product flows into the next process, the prolonged curse and the vicious appearance of the supervisor make the distraction disappear, only to pay attention to the work with fear and improve the quality. When the bell rang, he hurried to the canteen to pick up a few meals, ran to the telephone booth to call home, chatted with the children for a while, and then repeatedly told the elderly, before temporarily reassuring for a while.

When the telephone is connected, it is also when the spirit falls to the ground, as if planting to see the growth of crops. When working on the production line, we see the same endless product repeatedly every day, as if we could never finish it.

The telephone, connecting the relatives of the two places, telling each other heartfelt, taking care of each other. Home days are getting closer and closer...
