Record some thoughts, some afterthoughts.
A Chinese company opened a factory in the United States, and the problems encountered during the period are enough to see the cultural differences and conflicts of values between the two countries.
The Chinese workers in the film believe that they must devote themselves to their work in this lifetime, create their own value, have a sense of work pride, and accept the indoctrination given by the company - "We come to work in the United States to show Americans. To what kind of Chinese we are." We work hard, but also to make the next generation have a better life. There is a little brother in the film who cherishes his family, and getting together with his family seems to be the meaning of hard work.
In fact, most of the American workers in the film are older or do not have their own skills. Most of them are workers who have been unemployed for many years after the closure of GM Ford or other factories. They will value themselves being respected more than working for the business. They value their rights and expect trade unions to enter the enterprise to protect their rights. They are also very contemptuous of Chinese workers who often work overtime. They live for themselves.
When everyone is watching a drama, the barrage will always fight. Some people think that the American way is right. We should fight for our own rights and interests. Our life is not for companies. We have human rights and do not accept the brainwashing of company culture. . Some feel that the quality of our steadfast efforts will be more suitable for future development, because we are young and humbly study and work, down-to-earth, we have nothing to be ashamed of.
In fact, I personally think that these two views are not wrong, it mainly depends on what you live for.
In fact, the current domestic situation is also the reason for the emergence of various values, because no one knows what the future China will be like.
For example, I also worry about whether I will not work hard and learn new skills. When I get older or the technology develops, I will be eliminated by people younger than myself or robots that are more efficient than myself. But there are some friends around who think that choosing to be comfortable and healthy is the right way, but each way of living is different.
Some of the details in the film are quite impressive.
American executives came to attend the annual meeting in China, and when they saw the atmosphere of Chinese companies, they felt embarrassed written on their faces, but when they arrived at Chinese companies, they would choose to integrate in their own way, and emmm may also be to make money haha. That sense of conflict is very deep.
There are also American executives who came to Chinese factories to see the strict discipline management and high efficiency. They sneered and said that only by sticking the mouths of their Chinese people with tape can the efficiency be improved. He feels that his heart should also be very complicated. On the one hand, I feel that such an efficient method is good for enterprises, on the other hand, I feel that in such an environment, people have become depersonalized.
So the ending is also very interesting. Most of the labor behind American factories will be replaced by robots and assembly lines. In China, people will still be working for a long time.
Those who are unwilling to work hard even in mechanized work will really be those who will be eliminated the fastest.
Record some ideas.
