Voice 3: "Wang said he was able to organise the official documents, travel and job! But he said this would cost almost forty thousand [40,000] dollars. It was my dream to go to America. But how would I pay this money? Wang suggested that my parents pay some of the money. And then I could pay the rest later - when I had my job in America. Wang said I would earn more than enough money to pay back the debt to my parents. I would be able to look after my parents in their old age! This is very important in our culture. So, I decided to do it."
声音3：我姓刘。我生于1976年。和我同村的一个人告诉我，有一个男人能帮我安排去美国或加拿大工作。我说我很感兴趣。然后，一个名叫王一雄（音译）的男人来到了我们的村子。王一雄说他能办理官方文件，帮我去旅行和工作！不过他说，这需要近4万美元。去美国是我的梦想。但是我怎么支付这笔钱？王一雄建议我父母帮我支付一部分钱。等我在美国找到工作以后，我再付清剩下的钱。王一雄说我挣到的工资还清欠我父母的钱绰绰有余。而且在我父母老了以后我会有能力照顾他们！这一点在我们的文化中至关重要。所以，我决定照他说的去做。
"I have been working now for three years, but not in America. Wang’s men took me to Europe. I work in a Chinese food place. There are many other Chinese people living together here. I sleep on the floor. I work for sixteen to eighteen hours a day. Wang’s men say I still have much debt to pay. I must work every day. They beat me if I stop. They say if I stop, I will never pay for my travel. And my parents will stay poor until they die."
“现在我已经工作三年了，但不是在美国。王一雄的手下把我带到了欧洲。我在当地的一家中国食品工厂工作。还有很多中国人一起住在这里。我睡在地板上。我每天工作16到18个小时。王一雄的手下说，我还有很多债要还。我必须每天工作。如果我不干活，他们就打我。他们说，如果我不干活，我永远都付不起旅费。而我父母到他们去世那天会一直贫穷下去。”
"I feel very tired of living."
“我感觉生活真的很累。”
