韩国电池厂火灾惨剧，为何遇难的多是中国公民？（朗读版）｜E0627

▍原文

A fire likely sparked by exploding lithium batteries swept through a manufacturing factory near South Korea's capital, killing 22 mostly Chinese migrant workers.

The fire began after batteries exploded while workers were examining and packaging them.

In the past few decades, many people from China have migrated to South Korea to seek jobs. They often end up in physically demanding and low-paying jobs shunned by more affluent South Koreans.
