Synopsis

Since 2000, leaving home to find work and earn money has become a major trend. Guangdong Province, home to the country's largest concentration of migrant workers, is a paradise for those seeking to make a living. Beautiful women are everywhere, and it's also the easiest place to find a wife. But working for a living comes with its share of bitterness and hardship. Money isn't as easy to earn as people imagine. Some spend a whole year working just to cover the cost of traveling back and forth; others fail to make any money and end up sick or disabled, or even lose their lives. Wherever there's sunlight, there's darkness. Some strive to get ahead, while others fall into ruin. Workplace rivalries, tangled relationships: whatever they go through, these experiences become memories of youth that stay with migrant workers for the rest of their lives...

Recommend Something Fresh

I’m a veteran reader. I’ve spent a thousand or two hours just on the Tomato app, and I’ve read thousands of books. I’m a science student, so can someone recommend something that feels different? Have we really reached the end of books, with only the same few authors and titles left?
