Workers of fortune

 

Like all North Korean workers in China, Lu and her compatriots, who all work as waitresses, are not allowed to leave their workplace at will. Their life is a strict routine of going from their nearby dormitory to the restaurant and back again. They have no means to act independently.

Each day, they rise at around 7 am, do some group exercises, and arrive at the restaurant before 8 am. After a short breakfast, they start a 12-hour shift from 9 am to 9 pm.

"They are in charge of welcoming guests, taking orders and delivering dishes. There are also some married women who work in our kitchen can make good kimchi," Sun, a manager at Liu Jing Restaurant, told the Global Times.

North Korean waitresses seldom communicate with their Chinese colleagues and they are not allowed to use cell phones, Sun said.

"They are very sensitive about topics regarding their country, and sometimes, we have to kindly remind our customers not to ask such questions," Sun said.

The "Cloud Atlas" story focuses on a genetically-engineered "fabricant" clone named Sonmi~451 who is one of millions raised in an artificial "wombtank," destined to serve from birth. Such fabricants do practically every kind of manual or service labor, work as soldiers and prostitutes, and even act as "living doll" toys for "pureblood" kids in the futuristic society of Nea So Copros — an ultra-corporate version of a unified Korea that has grown to include much of Asia.
