Huihui' Life Of Out-of-Town

With more and more rapid process of industrialization and urbanization, the increasing demand for labor resources and the size of floating population, the structure of floating population has changed. One of the most obvious changes is that more and more pre-school migrant children come to live together in "villages in cities" or live scattered in fringe areas of city. They were born in cities and gradually stayed here much more time than before. The more new city habitants they become, the more complicated their living is. For example, they were challenged with many difficulties:disadvantaged economic status of parents, limited capital contribution on family culture and lack of normal education. This research is aimed to demonstrate the development environment of pre-school migrant children and explore the social significance and value behind those real stories.This research takes Huihui as the case study, who is a migrant pre-schooler from a village in Sichuan Province and now lives with his parents in a city in Zhejiang Province.
