Summer Toys

Just now in the summer months, when nobody here thinks at Christmas, workers in Chinas toy industry are toiling up to 400 hours per month without day off.

It's not unusual that one or two collapses on the assembly line under the cruel working conditions.

And sometimes someone loses one's life - from exhaustion. For this phenomenon there exists an own word in China: "Guolaosi".
