520 _a"Bai Lin is a sad-faced 19-year-old who seems to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. She works in a small industrial town for a factory that makes intravenous drip kits for hospitals. Once she lived with her family in a dirt-floored hovel at the end of a mud road in a forgotten hamlet called Two Dragons. She left home at age 15 because her father decided she must. The family was poor, but there was an option: Every day, it seemed, more people from the villages were leaving for work in the city." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article describes the poor labor conditions in China, specifically for the Chinese migrants who "have left their farms for cities as China's communist government relaxed the travel and housing restrictions that once kept a strict divide between urban workers and country peasants."
