Highlights

First Paragraph:

I say a year, but really, I was at D Company for just over ten months. I joined on May 12, on the ninth anniverasry of the Wenchuan earthquake. My job was package handler at a hub in Shunde District, in Foshan, which at the time was the largest distribution center in the country. I only learned this after I left. Though the scale shocked me while I was there, I never really cared where the warehouse ranked nationally.
