Born to a poor family in a poor province in China, this kid has to leave his home in order to find work in a big city like Shanghai. He arrives with nothing but hope. He wants to go from rags to riches in ten years. But as time passes, the descriptions on his resume will probably sound more impressive than the numbers on his savings account. He’ll have a hand in the construction of many buildings dotting the country, including the tallest skyscraper in the world. After securing a gig at a factory, he’ll help to assemble the gadget of your dreams. Then he'll move on to become a toilet cleaner. Then rubbish collector. Then illegal DVD peddler. Like millions of migrant workers in China, this boy will tough it up to make a small fortune. But truth be told, fortune doesn't always favour the brave. |
