Gu Qinger: Behind the Cadmium Poisoning of Guangdong Laborers
From the Epoch Times:
Guangdong, known as a “paradise” for migrant laborers, attracts more than a million workers from China’s poor regions annually. In order to survive, they leave their families and work away from home.
Huizhou Gutangao is one of the biggest industrial districts in Huizhou city, Guangdong province, and it provides many job opportunities for migrants.

This means their fate and health are in their employers’ hands.
