cali1356,

Do not patronize these people. Endlessly floating, they are below nothing in the minds of city dwellers. Their voices are silenced. Open your eyes and go there to actually live with them for a few weeks b/c underneath the glowing red hot surface is a world you have no understanding of. End the slavocracy within our false utopia.

多吃点 开开心 过每一天 人生一场 祝你们好运

Are your interests in research on this toppic? Rural workers in Beijing China. What is the situation here? why are they living in these shanty places? Are the restrictions on the workers that are non residents of Beijing China. Why aren't the workers living within the city vs the outskirts?

[tunenas]

Urban sprawl. Notice how the workers live on the outskirts of the quickly produced modernization. Notice the high rise buildings. This phenomenon is quickly catching on in the study of China. Demolishment of the old, making way for new & large scale buildings. W/Global Warming, one hopes China & the USA find other re-newable resources to sustain rapid evolution in modenization.

[chillyxpress]

What's the english translation name of this song?

[dianeducheng]

[wiser2001]

Very nice music. Content is a bit weak, but gets the idea across well enough. I feel bad for the migrant workers here. I've wanted to make a similar video, congrats on this one.

They earn more money than farming on their home.

[wiser2001]

Yes, they do earn more in terms of money, but rural life doesn't require money in the same sense. As well, they're away from their families, and live in unheated rooms with no privacy, something they give up when they leave the countryside.
