Here, "hitting workers" is the collective term for all people engaged in manual or technical labor.
Whether it is a worker who moves bricks on a construction site, a white-collar worker sitting in the office "996", or a middle-level leader or entrepreneur, all can call themselves "workers."

"Working for workers" has a series of notable characteristics. For example, they have a clear understanding of reality, and they even have sufficient reasons why they work.
For example, this "Working Declaration" says-
80% of the pain in life comes from part-time work, but I know that if you don't work, 100% of the pain comes from lack of money, so between part-time work and no money, I choose to work.
You may live ten years less if you work, and you won’t be able to live a day if you don’t work.

"Workers" have a very positive attitude towards part-time work. They wake up early and are not afraid of tiredness, never arrive late or leave early, and it doesn't matter if there is no holiday, because "workers" have iron will and passion.

From the point of view of “workers”, it is not a shame to work. Although it is hard work, it is sometimes an important way to realize self-worth and a sign of self-improvement and independence.
Relying on others is a princess, "relying on you" is a Japanese, relying on yourself is a glorious hitman!

This kind of discourse is sometimes a kind of self-encouragement, but sometimes it is also self-deprecating as a social animal.
Before becoming a "worker", whoever didn't have ideals and looked into the distance, in the end, he could only act as a cow, burn himself, and illuminate the company.
Before entering the electronics factory, I had dreams about literature, about love, and about traveling across the world.
Now I am working in the factory, and when the parts and parts meet, it is the sound of broken dreams. Good night, hit the workers!
It’s been a long time since your circle of friends mentioned the planet, the galaxy, the universe, dreams, and literature. Why, did you go to work like me?
God will not let every drop of your sweat, it will be reflected in your boss's account balance.
Good morning, hit the workers!

Perhaps half a life of hard work is nothing, and perhaps hard work cannot win success.
However, in the face of the cruel reality, the migrant workers did not lower their heads. Instead, they used it as an incentive, with a beautiful vision, and used hard work and sweat to create the future.

In the past, we had many names for professionals, some of which were classified according to mental work and manual work, such as white-collar workers and blue-collar workers.
Later, a broad term was extended-office workers.
In recent decades, there are also wage earners (sisters) and social animals.
The former is a term formed by a large number of migrant workers entering cities following the reform and opening up, and often refers to young people working in major cities.
The latter is a self-deprecating term from Japan, referring to employees who work obediently at the company and are squeezed like livestock.
Both wage earners and social animals have certain derogatory meanings, wage earners often engage in manual labor, and their wages are low, which implies a hint of humbleness and inferiority.
It seems that the social animals are too miserable and too content with the status quo, without fighting spirit and ideals.
"Working for workers" is different. It reveals pursuit in the ordinary, and strength in humiliation. Although people are working, they are neither humble nor overbearing.

"Fighting workers" is more like a neutral term. It allows all workers to achieve unprecedented unity and resonance. Here, all "strike workers" have their own dignity.
It's like the introduction of a group of hitting workers: whether you are happy or sad, you can't erase your label of hitting a worker, and hitting a worker also has emotions, and hitting a worker also has the right to say "no."

Behind the popularity of "hitting workers" is the young people's ridicule about the burden of life, their dissatisfaction with the high-pressure environment, and their dissatisfaction with ordinary life. It is a kind of black humor belonging to adults.
Instead of passively accepting, it is better to take the initiative.
Compared with Buddhism and mourning, it is more positive and optimistic.
Hit the workers, did you work hard today?
