Shu Long

Shu Long is a delivery worker who migrated from Suqian County, Jiangsu to Suzhou in search of better job opportunities. He often faced the challenge of living apart from his family while juggling the demands of his job, which led him to contemplate whether to stay in Suzhou or return to his hometown. His story reflects the broader struggles of new employment groups in China, such as delivery drivers and gig workers, who encounter issues like job security, labor rights, and access to public services. Recent government policies aimed at enhancing support for these workers have positively impacted his family's situation, allowing them to move together to Suzhou and benefit from initiatives designed to improve their quality of life.
