Description
Near Beijing's US$600 million Olympic stadium, migrant worker Ye Yiwen, her husband and two children cram into a tiny underground room, sheltering from the Chinese capital's biting winter and soaring property prices. The decades-long movement of hundreds of millions of people from China's countryside to its cities is the greatest human migration in history, but those who make the journey do not necessarily find prosperity at their destinations. The "Rat Tribe", as they are dubbed locally, are mainly poor migrant workers seeking new opportunities in China's booming cities.
