Description
Summary:Heqing and Heping Fan are responsible for China's economic miracle - they and millions like them who reluctantly left their homes in the countryside for steady wages in the Cixi Industrial Zone. This program follows the Fans during their seven-day workweek and a rare, difficult trip home to visit the children they had to leave behind. The impact of what is essentially an instant industrial revolution has China coping with social and psychological issues that took hundreds of years for the West to work out, in just one generation. The video also examines the role of the Chinese Communist Party in the country's financial boom and its clash with capitalist realities.
