For more than two months, workers and relatives kept looking for Luo Lian, but only his old father in Hunan didn't know. Is he alive or dead? Where did he go? Why did he leave? Will he come back? It is still a mystery.
He doesn't like to talk, and he is a little lofty.
"I always have a feeling that he is not suitable for this line of work." 28-year-old Deng Fengru is Luo Lian's master. In March this year, Luo Lian was introduced to the factory by her third brother-in-law, Zhu Jianfeng, and worked as an apprentice with Deng Fengru, who was responsible for painting furniture every day.
Painter is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. For example, draw a wardrobe with two doors, "less color, more weight and even sides". In addition to assembly line operation, furniture has to be moved around. Before arriving at the furniture factory, my brother-in-law asked Luo Lian for advice, saying that the work was very hard and tiring, and the monthly salary was only five or six hundred yuan, but Luo Lian accepted it.
Luo Lian, about1.73m in height, is a little thin. "When he first came, he couldn't move a lot of things, saying that he was very tired, and then he gradually got used to it." Deng Fengru thinks this apprentice is a bit strange. "He is introverted and doesn't like to talk. He always has questions and answers, don't ask, don't tell. "
Deng Fengru said, "I am his master, about the same age. I didn't take him as an apprentice, just don't know what he thinks "; The workmates who live together also said they didn't know Luo Lian. "He never refuses to take the initiative to talk to us, which is a bit lofty." Some people think Luo Lian is very lucky. He has seven or eight fellow villagers in the furniture factory, but Luo Lian, who is unsociable, seems "unsociable" and even a little withdrawn.
Luo Shuanggui is a workmate who can talk to Luo Lian. Before the relocation of the factory in September this year, in the dormitory of 10, Luo Lian was assigned to the upper bunk of a bed near the door, and lived in the upper bunk opposite. He was Luo Lian's "senior brother" (the same door as Mr. Fu). In Luo Shuanggui's impression, Luo Lian only spoke twice in the past six months, once asking him how much he can earn every month after starting his career; Another time, I said that when I used to run real estate, I ran my business on a bicycle, and the car cushion was worn out in a month.
The books he read are even beyond the understanding of his workmates.
Luo Lian's "unsociable" is not just a few words.
He likes cleanliness. Workers say that every day when they go to work, paint will be sprinkled on their work clothes, hands, faces and hair. After a long time, all kinds of stains on the front of clothes are mixed in color, and there are complex pigments between fingers. Many workers are too lazy to wash and go straight to eat. "He won't change clothes and take a shower as soon as he gets off work."
Workers go to work at 8 o'clock every morning and get off work at around 10: 30 in the evening, which is a rare time to relax. The so-called relaxation, "generally only chat and play cards", Luo Lian used to soak his feet while cooking some hot water and reading a thick Zhuangzi.
"We can't understand his books, and they are all obscure," said Deng Zhanghe, a colleague who lives with him. He turned over a few pages of books that Luo Lian had read and found them too abstruse to like. He said that the workers usually read novels and magazines, and the factory is located in a remote place, so there are not many books that can be borrowed and bought. Luo Lian borrowed books from me, too. He read Yi Zhongtian's Pinsan Kingdom faster than me.
After work, workers also get together to chat, play cards, mahjong and fight landlords. Luo Shuanggui said that Luo Lian didn't participate in most of these activities, and sometimes he watched and kept silent. When I first moved to the new factory, the workers in the factory often had a rest. Luo Lian also plays cards, but only a few times she is very cautious. "If there is no hope of winning, don't take the card."
He doesn't love QQ, and there are few text messages in his mobile phone.
Workers in the same factory also learn to surf the Internet after work. The worker nicknamed "Black Bull" said that a group of fellow villagers became friends with each other on QQ, chatting with MM on the Internet and fighting landlords. Luo Lian sometimes goes online, but his QQ is not online for half a year, and his number is unknown to his fellow villagers. "Either watch a movie or read a novel online."
Workers chat at night, and the topic often talks about women. When the workmates joked that "there are no female workers in the factory, this is a monk class", Luo Lian never interrupted and occasionally made fun of him. He will be very serious and always say,' Stop talking about me'.
Life in the factory is simple and boring, and mobile phones are one of the most important ways for workers to contact with the outside world.
Luo Shuanggui said that several workers changed their mobile phones this year, and a mobile phone puzzle called "Huarong Road" became popular in the workshop. "I finished the puzzle as quickly as possible and got Cao Cao out of danger, but Luo Lian didn't get it all night, and some people laughed at him." Luo Shuang came to his senses and remembered, "Luo Lian is very serious. He specially found a board and made a puzzle. He practiced for a month as soon as he got off work. "
Deng Zhanghe said that when workers are bored, they often use their mobile phones to chat with netizens, but Luo Lian doesn't. "There are not many text messages in his mobile phone, only three elder sisters' phones." It is said that Luo Lian's mobile phone style is very old. "The saved song is also" cordate telosma "or something."
Although it's strange for workers, "he will still play with us at least sometimes", said Luo Shuanggui, a fellow villager and worker, of Luo Lian. In the eyes of some workers, Luo Lian has a group of fellow villagers and a sister and brother-in-law who lives not far from the factory. They worry about greetings from time to time and should not be lonely.
"No one really knows him."
Luo Lian, a post-80s wage earner, can't say that she works hard. I have been to Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Foshan successively, worked in electronics factories, clothing factories, printing houses and cafes, worked as a security guard and painter, and also ran through solar energy and real estate business. When accepting real estate orders, he once fantasized about listing his own company.
Luo Lian has three sisters, the elder sister and the second sister are in their hometown in Hunan, and the third sister and the third brother-in-law are doing business in Gaoming, Foshan. The sisters said that they didn't know their youngest brother, but only suspected that his mother's death in 2006 had a great influence on him. After Luo Lian disappeared, a diary was left in the dormitory, and only one was torn up. From this diary, the three sisters speculated that the disappearance of their younger brother might be related to the death of their mother.
In 2002, Luo Lian didn't take the college entrance examination, so he dropped out of school and went to a vocational school. In 2003, I was recommended by the school to work in an electronics factory in Shenzhen. Because of my hard work, I went to a clothing factory in Zhuhai to distribute materials with the help of my family. Later, I worked in a printing factory, promoted solar energy and worked as a waiter in a coffee shop. In 2005, I worked as a community security guard 1 year. At the end of last year, I ran through real estate sales. Later, I helped my second sister look after the store in Zhongshan, less than half a year. Until this year, I was recommended by my third brother-in-law to be a painter.
"He is kind-hearted," said Luo Juan, the second sister. When my brother ran real estate last year, he even wrote a plan, imagining how to open several branches by himself in a few years, and even how to let his company go public in the future. "He is an ideal person, but it is really difficult to do it."
Luo Lian's mother died in 2006. "I was poisoned by gas in my hometown, and I still don't know whether it was an accident or suicide." Lori, the third sister, said that my brother seldom calls home on weekdays. During that time, I called my father in my hometown almost every day. "Just ask to eat, play for more than half a month. I know that he is very filial and comforts my father in this way. " The elder sister Roya said that her father said at the time that his wife had left for her son.
"Nobody in the family really knows him," Luo Juan said. "Maybe it's the shadow of mother's death, maybe it's the psychological pressure of the only child in the family, maybe the family expects too much from him. The younger brother in the eyes of the three sisters has grown up. Although he is not married, he does not know if he has ever been in love. " We can help him materially, and he doesn't care much about his ideas. Sometimes I dare not talk about him, or I can't say too much. "
A person never comes back after smoking and drinking.
After Luo Lian disappeared, family members and workers searched supermarkets and Internet cafes near the factory, called the police and posted on the Internet looking for you. So far, nothing has been found. The bed in the factory dormitory quietly changed hands, and his bedding and books were packed without a trace. Two days after Luo Lian disappeared/KLOC-0, the factory posted a notice saying that he had been absent from work for a long time and the factory unilaterally terminated the contract.
"After reading the note he left, I once thought he might be very sad," said Zhu Jianfeng, the third brother-in-law. He looked almost everywhere around, but no one was alive and there was no body. "If I can't find him, my father will be finished," said the elder sister Roya. My father, in his hometown, doesn't know yet. His family once found a cousin and told him to pretend to be Luo Lian. Now that the year is approaching, "he will go home and reunite with his family during the New Year."
