At 8 PM on August 8, 2008, when the eyes of 4 billion people around the world focused on China's National Stadium, the "Bird's Nest" was like a brilliant diamond shining brightly in the night sky.

In the unknown corner, a young man wearing a hard hat also looked at the flowered colorful bird's nest and shed tears of excitement. No one knows, THIS only read junior high school one grade of young migrant workers is the bird's nest "nervous system" of the creator!

In February 2009, a famous director Jiang Xiaoyu directed, reflecting the struggle of contemporary migrant workers in the film - "Rain will Come" will start, and the film's leading actor and actor, is the great migrant workers Tan Shuangjian!

I'm a little fish

Lost in the dark river

Tan Shuangjian, 29, was born in a farming family in Songerzhuang village, Luqiao Township, Guantao County, Handan City, Hebei Province. He has two younger brothers and a younger sister. In September 1993, Tan Shuangjian's younger siblings also had to go to school, and his mother was anxious at home. As the eldest Tan Shuangjian could not bear to see his mother so worried, without saying a word, he packed up his bag and left the school.

But what can the 14-year-old Tan Shuangjian do? See the neighbors to the hill hawthorn fruit off made into penghulu, street to street to sell, Tan Shuangjian learned to do penghulu neighbors. However, each time carrying the grass bar full of sugar gourd to the village walk, Tan Shuangjian after his previous study in middle school, listened to the classroom from the sound of Lang Lang books, his heart will be very disproportionate to the age of sorrow: don't their life so early "shape" it? Tan Shuangjian is not convinced!

But the reality is harsh. After that, Tan Shuangjian came to town and wanted to find a decent job. Did NOT EXPECT TO FIND TO FIND, SOMEONE else A LISTEN TO HIM EVEN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA ALL HAVE NO, repeatedly WAVED: "NOW RECRUIT A WAITER TO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL culture, you CAN only calculate primary SCHOOL graduation, basically EQUAL to OPEN BLIND!" In the end, he only found a job delivering steamed buns in a steamed bun wholesale shop. Every day, he set out from the steamed bun shop to deliver six carts of steamed buns to the designated agency. Such monotonous and repetitive work made him persist for several months, and then he couldn't do it anymore.

In March 1996, Tan Shuangjian came to Shanghai. Shanghai is a big city with a lot of opportunities. Tan Shuangjian felt excited that there seemed to be opportunities everywhere. But the reality still disappointed him. After many days, he only found a job carrying bags at the dock. It was too much for him, only 17 years old. In less than two days, his back had been worn out with blood blisters, and the next day it was pricked by rough burrs, and the pain was piercing...

Lying in bed at night, Tan Shuangjian recalled his struggles over the years and felt that he and a large number of migrant workers like him were like salmon drifting in a dark river, weak and helpless, their fate completely depends on the direction of the current, drifting in the dark river bed, all at a loss for the future. Do you want to spend your life like this?

Tan left Shanghai after working at the docks for two months and earning 240 yuan.

Like an octopus giving birth to suckers

Seize fleeting opportunities

In the summer of 1997, Tan Shuangjian came to Beijing with 80 yuan and luggage. He wanted to be a waiter in a restaurant, but he had to drop out when people wanted a diploma. He went to pick up waste but did not expect to pick up waste also divided into the territory, he was beaten. Sleeping in a bridge hole, Tan Shuangjian looked forward to the dawn every day, so that he could go out to find work.

Tan Shuangjian with only the remaining 50 cents, sit on the bus and came to Xiangshan, in a decoration team to find a job as a small worker. After a while, he found that the highest-paid workers on the site were electricians. A laborer earns 20 yuan a day, while an electrician can get 60 yuan. The electrician high master is the most important person in the whole construction team, every time to electrician enters the field, the high master will take out a red and blue pencil, draw a switch on the wall here, draw a light there, and then the command small work line, slot. No matter how complex the building, a high master always can design the most concise, most practical wiring scheme. Tan Shuangjian began to think, that he simply learn to be an electrician, so can not earn more money.

However, when he tried to learn from Master Gao, Master Gao gave him a disdainful glance and said, "Don't think that anyone can be an electrician. It's a skilled job. Do you know what the zero line is, what the fire line is? Do you know what parallel or series is?" Tan Shuangjian foolishly shook his head, high master pile next 1 "That still learn what!" Then turned to walk, and threw down Tan Shuangjian a person standing there for a long time back to God.

Rejected by master Gao, Tan Shuangjian did not give up, but to find others who borrowed junior high school and high school physics textbooks, from the simplest friction generation phenomenon began to learn, bad power knowledge!

On that one sleepless night, Tan Shuangjian always a person lying on the head of a broken wooden box, kept writing on a pile of manuscript paper. Two MONTHS LATER, WHEN TAN SHUANGJIAN DECORATE A CIRCUIT DESIGN SKETCH TO PUT IN FRONT OF GAO MASTER, HIS EYES STARE BIG: THIS DESIGN IS UNEXPECTEDLY WITH HIS CONCEPTION OF THE SAME! High MASTER suddenly claps Tan Shuang Jian'S SHOULDER: "GOOD BOY! Master has taken you!" Tan Shuangjian narrowed his bloodshot eyes and smiled Handedly...

Master Gao spent a week explaining the basic knowledge of circuits to Tan Shuangjian, and then took him to practice. Tan Shuangjian learned very carefully. Every day he wrote down the key points of Master Gao's speech in a small book and often took them out to ponder. Because his head is clever, learn also serious, and his progress is very quick, after two months, in Gao's master's personal "examination" below, Tan Shuangjian smoothly goes out a teacher, and became an outfit team "two knives" electrician.

From a small work to an electrician, this is a small "leap" in the decoration team, his salary from 20 yuan a day to 50 yuan a day, and no longer a head of mud and water to do hard work, which made those who had laughed at him in the heart both envy and envy.

One DAY IN September 1998, TAN ShuangJIAN WAS IN AN OWNER's home for lighting when he tried the light, he found that there were two lines connected wrong and planned to reconnect them. By the operational procedures, must will always brake completely disconnect, can begin operations, but Tan Shuangjian think of high teacher often charged homework, just switch over there also nobody, don't want to so many, to start around carefully insulated wires, have never thought in that instant, the light flash, an electric current will Tan Shuangjian fell from the tall herringbone ladder! He was knocked out, lying on the ground for a long time did not wake up, thanks to the workers taking him to the hospital.

This even electric shock belt fell, and Tan Shuangjian lay in the hospital for a week. When Master Gao came to visit him, he criticized him with anger and heartache: "You boy only started a few days, and dare not pull the main brake? Electric tiger, you are with it again close, it is also a tiger! Understand?" Tan Shuangjian nodded shamefully.

See Tan Shuangjian electrocution hospital, the original few jealous of his workmates more exciting. They gloated, "I don't know a few characters, but I also want to touch the butt of the electric tiger! This is bitten by a tiger, you must know how bad it is?" Did not expect Tan Shuangjian discharged from the hospital, and limped to the site. Only from then on, he seriously learned the electrical operation specifications, and no longer dare to violate the rules of operation.

See Tan Shuangjian electrical technology more and more skilled, master Gao and dial him said: "We now do work belong to the strong electricity, and really can reflect the electrical technology and level, is the weak current technology. In the future, the building is more and more high-grade, and the status of a weak electrician will be higher and higher, if you have the ambition to do a good job in this industry, you should master the weak current technology as soon as possible." Master's words let Tan Shuangjian suddenly enlightened, and he immediately made up his mind: learn weak current!

However, as Master Gao said, weak-current technology is more sophisticated and complex than strong-current technology and requires more basic knowledge. Tan SHUANGJIAN WENT TO THE LIBRARY TO BORROW A "CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING WEAK CURRENT TECHNOLOGY", TAKE back but found that such as reading books, basic knowledge is too bad of him, actually do not understand! So, he used the money saved from his work and signed up for a weak electric engineer training class, hungry to learn. At the end of 1999, Tan Shuangjian passed the exam and successfully got the weak current engineer certificate.

In the winter of 1999, Tan Shuangjian arrived at a project site of the National Meteorological Administration in Baishiqiao, Haidian District. Work a few days, Tan Shuangjian heard that another is not responsible for his tower's power distribution cabinet installation problems, the original electrician because the problem can not be solved, and because the time limit is too tight pressure, actually leave without saying goodbye. See the project manager Wang anxious, Tan Shuangjian offered to try. He then checked the wiring and equipment over and over again, finding problems and working overnight to fix them. As a result, Tan Shuangjian only slept for less than eight hours in three days and three nights, and finally managed to secure the tower's power distribution cabinet and deliver power on time one day before the completion of the construction period, avoiding tens of thousands of yuan of lost work. After the work was finally finished, Tan Shuangjian was tired and sleepy and fell asleep on the floor of the power distribution room.
