These coolies, in the form of contracting laborers in China, trade Chinese in the coastal areas of China to laborers all over the world, and they also have a notorious nickname-piggy trading. They are called pigs. It is said that when China workers are on board, they all use wooden pots to hold their meals. When the crew asked Chinese workers to eat, their voices were similar to those of mainlanders, so they were called "pigs".
As for those villains and hooligans who recruit Chinese workers for westerners, they are called "pig heads"
This kind of coolie trade is not much different from the triangle trade in the Atlantic region, except that there is an additional procedure for signing prostitution contracts. At that time, the plantation economy and mining industry in the western colonies needed a lot of cheap labor to cultivate, and the planting and picking of cash crops such as spices, coffee and sucrose also needed market labor urgently. According to incomplete statistics, tens of millions of Chinese workers went abroad in modern times. Many of them voluntarily went abroad to make a living because of the bankruptcy of small-scale peasant economy, but more of them were trafficked abroad.
However, with the clustering of workers and men in China, another problem has emerged, that is, people's homesickness complex and men's primitive physiological instinct. Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation of pigs, foreign slave owners began to sell China women through "pig heads". This phenomenon gave birth to the slave group "Pig Flower" in China, and set up a special organization "Agreement Hall" to kidnap and sell "Pig Flower". You see how kind this name is, in fact, it looks good in front of people and dirty behind them.
As a result, these traffickers in Chinese mainland lured good women with money, and some women lost their foothold. They even sold a large number of women overseas by means of abduction, direct robbery and taking advantage of people's crisis, and sold them to foreigners and laborers in China at a price of 1000 yuan or even higher. Most of these Chinese workers can't bear loneliness in a foreign land, which leads to "pig flowers".
These "pig flowers" are either sold as female slaves or resold to brothels to become prostitutes. Those who are lucky will be married by the men who buy them, but this is only a very small number. A large number of people also died of loyalty and suicide. Zhang Cuo's "Golden Tears" records a woman in Nevada, USA, who couldn't bear it, bravely ran away, her feet were frozen in the snow, and she was taken back to the hospital and died of hunger strike.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of China women were sold overseas as "pig flowers" and became slaves and prostitutes, which was very tragic. Until now, there are still photos of "Pig Flower" being sold and bullied in memorial halls of many cities in the world.
