permabull Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just watched this documentary "Last Train Home"on migrant workers in China, and Guangzhou in particular. A bit of background into where all those watches we enjoy come from. From Wikipedia: Every spring, China's cities are plunged into chaos as 130 million migrant workers travel back to their home villages for the New Year's holiday. This mass exodus is the world's largest human migration, an epic spectacle that exposes a nation tragically caught between its rural past and industrial future. Working over several years in classic cinéma vérité style, director Lixin Fan travelled with one couple who have embarked on this annual trek for almost two decades. ...Emotionally charged and starkly beautiful, Last Train Home examines one fractured family to shed light on the human cost of China's ascendence as an economic superpower.
