Features: What is recorded here are the farmers who have come from remote mountainous areas to the city to make a living, and they are at the bottom of the city. People's attitudes towards them are like a touchstone, reflecting various hearts. Some people ignore them or pay no attention to them; some look down on or despise them; the educated use them as "marginal people" for research; the conscientious show them mercy and sympathy; and those with a sense of social responsibility pay attention to them and try to understand that no matter how the city views and treats them, they remain composed in this strange world, creating their own lives. Where is the folk? Of course, it is in the folk, as everyone knows. Here, the term "folk" refers to the true folk, the hidden layer at the bottom of society and reality. This book attempts to reveal a "folk" that exists outside the mainstream society through an in-depth excavation and interpretation of the folk, as well as visually striking images. Therefore, the selection of angles and alternative images is not the original intention. The purpose of this collection and presentation is to showcase the vitality of the underprivileged society that lies outside our vision.
