literature and lives

In July 2025, we released a book based on the HoSZ project. Titled The Other Half of Modern China: Eleven Stories From Shenzhen's Migrant Workers, the book offers a vivid, ear-to-the-ground panorama of the migrant workers who built China’s Silicon Valley but live in its shadows. In this powerful collection of biographical journalism, eleven migrant workers step out of the shadows—and in doing so, make China's social geography impossible to be overshadowed as before. Selected sections of the book have been made available here. Delve into the essence of literature and the intricacies of lives!
