Today’s migrants from the countryside are a world apart from their fathers and grandfathers who made the same journe ys to the metropolises in search of work twenty and thirty years before them. Better educated and connected by technology, they now expect more than a wage from the society they can currently only skirt the fringes of. Having no desire to return home to do the farming, they want to stay, be accepted, and become the same as everybody else. In this refreshingly open and enlightening book by lauded author, Huang Chuanhui, we hear the stories and hopes for the future from the people who live in the basements of cities across China. Review: This book skillfully interweaves the large-scale social trends and issues associated with the new generation of migrant workers with the personal, intimate stories of the workers themselves. In his interviews with these young men and women, the author quickly cuts to the heart of the matter, yet he does not intrude and treats his subject with respect and sympathy. The inclusion of poems, songs, plays and stories written by migrant workers directly engages the reader and is especially affecting. Their testimony offers a poignant window into a world that too often goes ignored. 《中國新生代農民工》對新生代農民工的生存現狀進行了全方位的記述。對這個數以億計的群體存在的教育、就業、生存等諸多問題進行深入探索，提出了解決問題的對策與建議。中譯出版社（原中國對外翻譯出版有限公司）憑藉強大的翻譯團隊為這本書做出了英文的詮釋，賦予了此書新的生命。黃傳會：專業作家，文學創作一級。享受政府特殊津貼。並任中國作家協會全國委員會委員，中國報告文學學會副會長。他的目光始終關注著普通士兵和老百姓，有人稱他是“最有良心的作家”。
