Are middle-aged women, no stable jobs they bring together the marina rowing livelihood rent. Their work started from early morning until late evening New. Each trip, rowing hard they are only 150 thousand wage.
They are in the marina ferryman female Chang'an, the Cultural Heritage and Nature World Chang'an, Ninh Binh province.
Boating Chang'an where more than 1,000 women waterman passenger travel
Boating Trang An acrimonious sunny summer days only sporadic few visitors. River, nearly 2,000 small boats beans lying close together around the wharf. On the shore, each group of women dressed in blue, face sealed sit scattered in the trees from the sun. Guests at, Boating absent atrophy should play the female riders ferryman here was "unemployed".
The day wore on, the sun in the west where many women leveled at ferryman sitting causing even more hot air than. Handle gently conical hats worn lightweight fan, Ms. Nguyen Thi Van (45 years old), born in Truong Yen Commune, Hoa Lu district, complained: "This round of guests at too, sisters we waited from morning until now that has not turn. Make today ế guests, tomorrow hub onigiri rice must wait to dock again. "
The fewer months, the marina is waiting for her turn as Passenger Van had to wait a whole week. Chang'an marina has nearly 2,000 units over 1,500 women boat with boatman subsistence occupations. To divide rational passenger boat turns, the company management was divided in turn, one after the other person's turn.
Never turn the passenger, the woman must wait outside the main parties
"Holidays tourists but unfortunately also quick trip often have to wait days to turn the new week. This session, the elevators also were 4 to 5 flights, not matter. Doing this job on this one last month idle no contract at all "- Ms. Van said.
Along with her guest waiting van, Ms. Dinh Thi Hanh (50 years old) said: "Desperate new sisters we must follow this profession. State planning tourist area recovered at home had no land to farm. The young are working away, doing Companies under the city. Class old lady as we did not get very far, did not know that this profession should expect ferryman vocational please copper earn income to support my family. "
New day began in occupations, so far people like Ms. Van said Hanh and hundreds of other women who were under occupation ferryman at the marina is nearly ten years. Ferryman passenger craft of women in the marina Chang'an citing jokes very well, but no less sad. Each of them has a story, personal feeling about life career stories
Waiting for passengers under the harsh sun, they have to sit under a tree to avoid heat
Ms. Hanh says: "The most fun for people rowing as we are always busy so as not to" unemployed ". The new winter flight deals fast, new extra income to care for their families. Guests reason, did not know where to get the money at home are hundreds of things to worry about. "
Hanh said she continued, "there is little rowing Co., the month at guests like this unfortunately also only a couple of million. Money "wages" have been put away where, right after 3-4 months to receive. Doing this job is also the main fluke. Seeing our sister hard, strenuous rowing, guests who feel hurt then "bo" more for less copper drink a glass of water. There is money "bo" drink water but do not dare spend glad. To take care of the family on the whole ".
Receive public money to pour out sweat, tears boiling. Earn coins "bo" is not easy. Describe the waterman as the women in the marina Chang'an hundred termites also miserable, and worries. The more you talk to them I feel all the scenes "making strawberry hundreds of them," that you are experiencing.
Each carrier, boatman only 150 thousand wage
For more understanding of women's drudgery ferryman here, I have to get up there to see firsthand the difficulties that you are facing. Carrying me along with three guests visiting Trang An Nguyen Thi Hang (52 years old), born in Ninh Xuan, Hoa Lu district. When up, Hang rowers kept cantering drainage, agility makes small boat on Phang Phang rushed forward.
Going to be a long way, through the boat moving straight stretch on the narrow river, flanked by high mountains horns horn. Now her ferryman started very tired, plus the weather is hot, she poured wet sweat shirt. The speed of the boat this time was not as fast as before but sagged to start in the caves and ravines.
"There's that easy to make money from this profession à uncle. Also sailing to stretch himself out for an hour to complete the work. Weekdays only about 4 people, Tet east up to 6, 7 guests. Guests Vietnam is slight, but that carry 6, 7 West sister hotel we paddle, push boat goes too tired when exhaling all by ear "- Hang whispered.
The straight section of the river, the ferryman tides more tiring. Suffering is going through dark caves and small. Mere walkways make the rider just the boat driver to stretch themselves, dodging the boat on track. Drive very standardized to friends hitting the rocks, visitors will not touch the stalactites at the top
Stretching himself ferryman through dark caves, narrow
"The cool days longer, but sunny day rowing hard work more than 10 times. What is so hard job but the female boatman as we dare to eat and drink slowly. Only cursory sketchy for the last meal "- Hang share.
Witness meager meals of female boatman, we do not think it's a feast. Only rice bowl was cold with boiled egg. She was lucky any more delicious extra few fat meat, vegetable stalks Teo marquetry. Yes, she could only eat bread for breakfast through. Food was meager but meals were not decent and proper timing. When rowing them not to eat, wait for visitors to the shrine while they dare take out and eat lunch in the fast lane for pick-up time.
Most, The woman worked as boatman in Chang'an are poor farmers living around the resort. Do they get the company offers, the personal gear that the ferryman women here carry per trip simply the lane, inside water bottles, lunch boxes and mats few short Underwear for guests to sit.
To get there, they had to undergo a training course and exam skills, achieving new standards of practice. Besides, the ferryman women here also frequently travel professional exchange, communication skills. In order to stay there for tourists to visit Chang'an, they just recently doubles rowing is a guided introduction to destinations, monuments featured in the journey.
For life, the women do waterman gong to survive
Hang added: "hard but also fun, in addition to earn money each boat trip, we also have the opportunity to meet many different guests. Each person here have in common is to discover Chang'an. We share the job with them, sharing the beautiful location of the homeland should also feel happy. In return they shared homeland, occupation, where they went down well be somewhat hard after every trip. "
We bid farewell to the boatman in Chang'an women when the sun has set behind the mountains. But many women are not dark sky ferryman has finished cleaning supplies left. Many other people have not the passenger terminal are still trying to paddle power to make a quick boat. Terminal, make sure they moored boat, cleaning, arranging supplies ashore and return home when it was dusk ...
