Jingu, Old Port Wharf.

A shirtless stevedore was selling his labor force and struggling to make a living. He picked up sacks from the cart parked at the loading dock, followed the guidance of the supervisor holding a whip, and lined up on the springboard to the berth.

Walking to the belly hold of a certain ship at the cargo terminal.

Unlike passages with handrails and guardrails on passenger ships, in order to save material costs, cargo ship owners often have simple gangplanks that can only be used by one person to walk one way. These hard-working dock workers who sell their labor carefully walk on the gangplank, which is less than shoulder width.

Try your best to maintain your balance to prevent yourself and the cargo on your shoulders from falling into the sea water.

Working at the docks all year round, many dock workers go down to the Haihe River to cool down during the hot season, so they have developed water skills that can protect themselves. However, the sacks on their shoulders and the goods inside cannot see the water, and if they accidentally fall into the water, they will lose their hard-earned money for several days.

Pay it in.
