A 22-year-old female surnamed Zhang, who is an employee of e-commerce major Pinduoduo fell unconscious while returning from work at 1:30 am on Dec 29 and later died in hospital.

As the incident went viral, on Monday an account registered as the company posted a comment on zhihu.com saying, "Everybody is trading life for money; You can choose to stay comfortable but you must bear the result."随着该事件不断发酵，1月4日一个注册为拼多多的知乎账户发表评论称：“哪个人不是用命换钱；你可以选择安逸的日子，但你就要选择安逸带来的后果。”

Pinduoduo apologized saying it was not their view, but that of an individual who acted irresponsibly, even promising action against whoever was responsible.拼多多道歉称，该言论为不负责任的个人观点，并非拼多多的态度，甚至承诺对责任人采取行动。

Shanghai labor security department started an investigation on Pinduoduo’s employment conditions on Monday, according to the Beijing Youth Daily.据《北京青年报》报道，上海市劳动保障监察部门4日开始对拼多多的劳动用工情况进行调查。

We live in an age when everyone is struggling for a better life, mostly by laboring. It is positive and healthy for society to praise the struggling spirit, because that is how wealth is created and society moves forward. However, the struggling spirit should never be interpreted as “trading life for money”.我们生活在一个人人都在为更好的生活而奋斗的时代，劳动是改善生活的主要手段。提倡奋斗是积极和健康的价值观，因为这是创造财富和社会前进的方式。但是，这种奋斗精神决不能被理解为“用生命换取金钱”。

We struggle for better lives of the people, ourselves included; the people are the ends, not means, of that struggle. If life is being traded for money, then the wealth created and accumulated this way is of no use. The phrase “trading life for money” is rather weird because life can never be traded for money.

It is important for the laborers to know their rights and never compromise. Enterprises must honor the law and respect their employees’ rights. For society, it is necessary to legislate more good laws and strictly enforce them, so that laborers get better protection. Laborers create wealth, and they should enjoy the wealth they create.
