Motherfucker, are you still human…? How come those black-hearted people aren’t all dragged out and shot…? Fuck.

网易辽宁丹东网友:

Workers eating with the dogs, too heartbreaking! Black-hearted boss/owner, you deserve a terrible death! Maybe you normally have nice clothes, act piously, as if you were a philanthropist, and you may even have a bunch of halos on your head, but your heart is mostly bad and your entire family will go to hell, to the 19th level, lost forever!

Heartbreaking, hope they can soon return to their loved ones.

网易甘肃网友:

I’m shedding tears…

网易广东广州网友:

5 mao hurry and come give everyone an explanation.

网易上海南汇网友:

I want to express my respect to the journalist who reported this. Seeing these photographs, I am greatly shaken/shocked. I hope society’s relevant departments will thoroughly investigate and severely punish the owner of this business.

网易河北沧州网友:

NetEase! I beg you not to publish these kind of posts anymore, my entire body is shaking!!! My heart is bleeding!!!

网易广西网友:

Would these things not happen if these posts weren’t published? NetEase should expose all of these kind of things under the sky, so that those criminals will all get the punishments they deserve.

网易广东手机网友:

Who knows how many factories like this are still left in the entire country, still operating due to various reasons. This is the central government’s so-called harmonious society, a society that puts people first?

网易浙江杭州网友:

The locals built a wall just to avoid seeing this, which shows that those who knew about this were many, but to be able to suppress this like this shows that there is something stronger behind the scenes.

网易广东东莞网友:

Truly unbearable. Never have I [commented on] a post, but I must say something here. Is this something a human could do? Looking at these images, my heart is so pained. These owners/bosses will get their just deserts.

网易火星网友:

The local government people must’ve known, must’ve taken bribes, and thus didn’t say anything! Strongly propose investigation! Inhuman!
