We Chinese Men Make All The Cans

We Chinese men do all the cans in the cannery. Starting with tin, we make the cans each one by one. Then they get filled with fish. We solder on the lids. Then they get steamed for 20 minutes. When they come out, we need to tap a hold in the cans with a little needle so all the air comes out. Then we seal the cans and label them. It's hard, hard work.
