I have a criminal record, and now I want to go out to work in a factory. Does it matter? Will the factory check if you have any records?

It won't make any difference. Generally, criminal records are not provided to any unit or individual except the unit inquired according to law, so the factory can't find criminal records.

Article 275 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates:

If he was under the age of 18 at the time of committing the crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records shall be sealed up. If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
