Cover art for Chairman Gou lyrics by James Supercave

The song is about a man called Lu Xin who worked for Foxconn in Shenzhen, China and took his own life on 6 May 2014. The chorus refers to the fact he took part in the company talent contest, and reportedly he had dreams of becoming a professional singer. He commited suicide by jumping from a 6th floor balcony, at the age of 24.

The suicide nets refer to the company's response to strings of suicides from workforce by installing suicide-prevention netting around factories.

The last lyric, "我的手机" or "my cell phone", may be a reference to the fact Foxconn manufactures cell phones.
