The Disappearing "Sanhe Great God"

  Shenzhen Jingle New Village

  Speaking of the "great god" life a year ago, 35-year-old Zhong Hang bluntly said that "it's unbearable to look back".

  In 2019, he came to Shenzhen to work with 300 yuan, but unexpectedly lost his wallet.

Then he came to Sanhe Talent Market next to Jingle New Village, Longhua Street, Longhua District, Shenzhen, and lived a "great" life: "Working odd jobs for three days for three days", "I would rather do a day job than go to a factory for regular work." "A meal is 2 yuan of mineral water, 4 yuan of fried noodles, and 5 cents of loose smoke" "sleep on the ground and stay overnight in an Internet cafe"...

  Zhong Hang is not an isolated case. At the peak, there were more than 2,000 people living in the same living conditions here, including young men in their early 20s and middle-aged people in their 40s.

This group is the "Three Harmonies God" widely circulated on the Internet.

  Jingle New Village covers an area of ​​46,000 square meters.

In 2005, many employment agencies and labor dispatch companies, mainly Sanhe and Haixinxin, entered one after another. A "job agency street" for recruiting general workers has gradually formed here, with an average of more than 7,000 job seekers per day, and the number of job seekers throughout the year. More than 2.5 million people.

  "Over the years, employment agencies have been mixed, and some employment agencies have not strictly enforced the regulations on recruitment and registration status." Chen Huanbin, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Helian Community where Jingle New Village is located, introduced that some job seekers stayed here for a long time to form "subcultural groups" , lives in the small and medium-sized job agencies, Internet cafes and village corridors around Jingle New Village. When he has no money, he applies for the "Ji Jigong" job. Because he relies on the Sanhe talent market, he is called "Sanhe God".

  Liao Shishen, who has opened a convenience store in Jingle New Village for more than ten years, said that in the past, there were many small hotels for 10 yuan a night and black Internet cafes for 15 yuan all night. When I go to the village, I use the Internet all night, and I sleep in the aisle of the village without money. Theft happens from time to time.

  During the Spring Festival, the reporter came to Jingle New Village to visit and found that the appearance of the place has been completely renewed, the ground is clean and tidy, the walls are painted with new scenes, the study room has replaced the Internet cafe, and the small hotel has become a long-term rental house. " also disappeared.

  This is due to the comprehensive renovation of urban villages that has been carried out since 2021. The local area has successively invested more than 20 million yuan to promote rainwater and sewage diversion, third-line undergrounding, etc., and relying on party-mass service stations to achieve full coverage of "resting houses" where you can rest. Smart bookshelves, sofas, water dispensers, power banks, etc. are all available.

At the same time, it also provides warm-hearted services for flexible employment groups, and built a "warm-hearted cabinet" to provide the masses with free materials such as instant noodles and water, which can be obtained by swiping their ID cards.

  In the early morning of January 2, 2021, Zhong Hang met the staff of Helian Community.

"After learning about my situation, the community gave me psychological counseling and employment guidance, which made me sober from my decadent state." He told reporters that he is now farming crayfish in his hometown in Meizhou, Guangdong, and got married and had children. Live a positive life.

  More "Sanhe Great Gods" have gone to work in the surrounding factories as normal.

"I used to work as a 'Jijungong' for a few days a day. I was empty-handed all year round, and I didn't even dare to go back to my hometown. I saved tens of thousands of yuan for the Spring Festival this year, and my spirit is much better." A Hunan native who works in a factory near Jingle New Village Xiao Chen said.

  "The change of Jingle New Village is not only about the optimization of physical space, but also about 'helping and pulling'." said Liu Xinxin, secretary general of Longhua District New Era Youth Employment Service Association. At the same time as the guidance, the association also established a volunteer service team to organize career planning guidance and skills training for those who are willing to re-employ in Longhua.

  Today, Sanhe Talent Market has been relocated, and the new Striver Square is under construction on the original site. Here, the "First Station of Employment Services" is being built to provide employment services for migrant workers in Shenzhen.
