The Jianmun little worker 江門鄉下的小女工六七十多年之前
Before more than 60 or 70 years ago:
「鄉下生活不了, 連吃都沒有，便賣了一擔穀作路費來找我的姊姊,即是你的姨母。
"In my country, we cannot have enough food, after sold some rices as the travelling expenditure, I came to Hong Kong and found my sister.
初來香港,船將泊岸,看見山上萬家燈火, 有如天空上的小星星,閃呀閃的,非常好看。
When the boat was coming close to Hong Kong, I saw there are so many lights shining on the mountain, just like the beautiful stars on the sky.
當時同來的伙伴大都沒法留下來,只因為有你姨媽先來了,介紹我到一戶人家當女工。
At that time, many girls cannot stay here. My sister found a job for me as a househelper and let me lived in Hong Kong.
幸好也不是什麼大戶人家,是個教書的,因為生了三個孩子,照顧不了,便請個幫傭,也花不起錢,幹了一年才由五塊錢加到十元。先是只管帶孩子,然後才慢慢教我這鄉下女孩子做家務。
Luckily, the master was not a rich one. He was a teacher. I have to take care of three childs although I was not get marry yet. My salary was only five dollars firstly and then, after one year, my salary can be raised to be 10 dollars. I was teaching to do the homework by the wife of the teacher.
