Since the reform and opening up, hundreds of thousands of farmers from the mountains have poured into the mountain city with a bamboo stick in hand, helping citizens with heavy loads, carrying and hauling, climbing slopes and hills, bringing vitality and hustle to the city. This "Bamboo Stick Army," through their unregulated labor, constitutes a unique working class, facilitating everyday life for citizens while also causing trouble for the city. There are no luxurious scenes or profound economic reform activities, but it genuinely reflects the movements and changes of ordinary people. As the pace of reform progresses, the "Bamboo Stick Army" will eventually disappear, but it cannot avoid leaving a significant mark on the reforms of the mountain city. The main urban area of Chongqing is built on the hills, requiring people to navigate streets and alleys while climbing slopes. However, one can still see the people of Chongqing living freely and easily today. This reminds us of a unique feature of Chongqing — in every street and alley, groups of rural folks can be seen, each holding a stick. They are known as the Bamboo Stick Army. Their scope of services ranges from large items like furniture and appliances to small purchases of vegetables by citizens, with prices being negotiated quickly and easily. The freight owner will lead, and the bamboo stick carrier will closely follow with the goods. Chongqing people are not afraid of the stick carriers running off with their items, as most of them are honest and trustworthy, adhering to their professional ethics. They come from rural areas to work in the city, relying on their own hands. Their hard work provides convenience for thousands of households. In this new era, the Bamboo Stick Army has gradually undergone a qualitative change, transitioning from scattered individuals to a more collective approach. Some have participated in standardized training organized by employers, engaging in physical labor under uniform clothing and management. Heartwarming stories have emerged of them assisting women, children, and the weak, as well as acts of bravery, which are fondly recounted by the people of the mountain city.
