But even if Zhou Qingyun tried to apply for jobs at a machinery factory or a steel mill, he would still not be hired.
These days, every job is filled by a single person, and when he, an "old man" in his late forties or early fifties from the countryside, goes to apply for jobs, no one wants him.

"Um... I haven't gone yet, have I? I was planning to go back to school today. Dad, if you're going to the county town, could you give me a ride?"
