Dongguan / 东莞
Dongguan / 东莞 appears in 如此打工 30 年：流水线上的面孔与时间 as the city setting for 占老师’s long worker-photography practice and for the episode’s account of 珠三角制造业变迁. The source treats Dongguan less as a generic city and more as an industrial landscape where factories, dormitories, canteens, roads, suppliers, and migrant-worker services organize daily life.
The episode’s Dongguan branch connects early reform-era capital, export orders, global demand shocks, flexible manufacturing, automation, and small-factory specialization to the lived time of workers. It also gives the wiki a labor-side complement to other Dongguan references such as 中国散裂中子源 / China Spallation Neutron Source, where the city appears through large-science infrastructure.
