ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「In Hong Kong, a growing community of maids has taken up trail running, traversing the city’s lush and vast parks, competing in ultramarathons thousands of feet in elevation. In addition to long work days, one-day weekends and an exhaustive list of responsibilities, these domestic workers — among Hong Kong’s 380,000 foreign maids — find the time and energy to squeeze in runs before the crack of dawn or late at night. While these workers play an outsize role in Hong Kong’s economy — last year alone, they added $12.6 billion to the city’s GDP. — they often face discriminatory treatment. But trail running has emerged as something of an unlikely equalizer: For at least a few hours, the sweat and camaraderie blur the lines between employers and maids, and among locals, migrants and expatriates. “On weekdays, people say, ‘Oh, you’re a domestic helper,’” one marathoner said. “On weekends, on the trails, they say, ‘Oh, you’re a good runner.’” @xyzacruzbacani took these photos.
