I got this in my email today, and I don’t believe it. It’s possible that he’s a midget. However, I’ve traveled in China and they have their own unemployment problems. There’s a waiting list for the Army, FGS. They don’t need to employ children in heavy industry.
Not that they don’t employ child labor, but that’s usually for jobs that require fine motor skill and sharp eyesight, such as bad work and silk embroidery.
I’ll belive it, I ran a skip loader when I was 9 loading sand into my fathers trucks.
He started teaching me to use power tools when i was 4. When I was 8 I taught myself to weld and channeled a 32 5 wiondow coupe and built a 3/8 3/8 flathead for it for the 16 year old numb nuts kid across the street.
Drove a flathead rail at Santa Ana when i was 12.
Kids today are not only lazy but idiots with no work ethic.
You must not have watched to the end.
The cameraman climbs into the cab at about the 8 min. mark.
If you watch the kid climb up, it’s clear HE’s a KID!
He doesn't look like a midget. Midgets tend to have distorted features. I suspect he's just working in the family business. The Chinese have never been big on child labor unless they were living hand to mouth. It's a prestige thing. Everybody wants to have a scholar in the family. It's even better if he makes a lot of dough in the process, but having a kid with credentials is some kind of aspirational thing with them going back thousands of years.
