By the mountain, the work from dawn to dusk. They work under a ragged and simple awning, which can only give them some shade but cannot keep them off the wind and sand.
Without any safety precaution, their bodies are not protected. When they break the stones, they may injure their fingers, scratch their skin or hurt their eyes.
Without any proper facilities, these women can only sit on the floor or uneven ground. They have no good tools, no working table, no pantry or washroom.
This old lady should have retired, stay home and enjoy her family time. Instead, she is still working in this remote area. One strike after another, she hammers the big rock until they become gravels, only to earn a little bit of money.
在山邊破爛、簡陋的棚下，遮一點的炎熱，卻擋不了風沙，婦女們從天光直工作到日落。
沒有安全措施，沒有身體的保護，很容易在碎石時，或是傷了手，或是碎石彈進眼睛，或擦傷皮膚。
沒有好的設施，只能席地而坐，甚至不是在平地上，沒有好的工具，沒有工作桌子，沒有茶房，沒有洗手間。
滿臉的皺紋，年紀老得應該退休，待在家中享兒孫福，但仍在這荒野地不停地一下、一下鎚在大石上，直把它打成小石，賺取一點收入。
