CATEGORY
Children of ChinaABOUT
Every year millions of rural Chinese teenagers leave their villages and head to China’s booming cities looking for factory jobs. Known as migrant workers , they are truly the fuel of the Middle Kingdom’s soaring economy. Most work long days and will return home only once a year for the Spring Festival. Away from Ping Wei follows the journey of Liu Yen Twin, a typical teenager trying to establish herself in a fast changing China.
