Q3.What moved you most?
A3. The styles changed a lot and the boss would not teach you. You have to explore it all yourself. It was very moving and fulfilling when you learned it. We liked this job a lot although it was very tiresome. We had to work 16 hours a day when it was busy. But we were able to make money and take care of children at the same time. Because we were work at home then, so we didn’t think it was tough.

Ms. Ai-hua Lo: After I was married. I was an accountant before that.

After the interview, Ms. Ai-hua Lo said: Don’t fear that you might have no job, as long as you are willing to do it. Any trade has its master. It is a tiresome profession. Besides harming eyesight, it pays little. Now wonder there are few people in this business. Through this interview, I gained a deep understanding about the clothing industry.
