Most people in China were born in ‘inferior’ towns, which is a name given to towns that are underdeveloped and regarded as inferior to big cities, and the scars these towns left on the people they raised last forever.

More than half of the population in big cities in China came from ‘inferior’ towns, and it is an accepted fact that these new city dwellers are being discriminated against because of their ‘foreign’ background.

From people that I know, most have to work 3 times harder to sustain their lives in these harsh ecosystems. I heard many who are taking 3 side jobs, working on weekends and 90 hours a week. However, it is still not a big deal compared to a guy I know who is working 18 hours a day along an assembly line, Monday through Sunday.

Little is heard about their lives because all social media apps are built for those who have an abundance of time and wealth to run and cater to them. Obviously, these small-town boys and girls have none of them.

The feeling of inferiority and hopelessness always overwhelmed them with undesired emotions. Their feelings towards their identity almost became hatred. Feeling ashamed, and unloved while still having to play in this neverending unfair game is pushing them to be physically and mentally ill.

Is a trauma to most. Most feel reluctant to speak out, their tear is undercovered, and most of them are abundant in number while still, sadly, underrepresented.
