OPENLIGHT BEIJING: Lost in Beijing
Sep 18, 2011 at 13:44
Xiaohua is one of the 30% of the Beijing population without a Beijing ID.
Like many, he comes from smaller cities and villages, looking for opportunities in this metropolis.
In Beijing, far from their family and culture, he can get lost in the crowd.
To be able to survive, he works more than double-time.
He has hardly any time to express his individual skills, creativity and background culture.
He doesn't feel home in Beijing. It is too big, he feels lost.
In his dreams, he wishes to go back to his hometown, in the countryside.
What can help him to find his way in Beijing and make him feel at home?
