Features: With the deepening reform and opening-up in coastal areas, an increasing number of people from inland regions have joined the ranks of migrant workers. Who can truly count how many migrant workers there are in China today? And who can truly understand their lives and mentality? Perhaps, except for themselves, no one else can. This is a record of interviews with a group of migrant workers and a travelogue of a by a in the south. When drifting becomes a long period in a person's life, the story of drifting also becomes full of legendary colors. "Drifting Red Faces" records the legendary stories of a group of migrant workers during their drifting days. Some strive for their ideals with passion and blood, while others indulge in pleasure, becoming listless and willingly falling into decline. Some resort to trickery and deceit, ultimately leading to crime. This book is like a "River Scene at Qingming Festival" of drifting people, showing the readers more cruel and unbelievable facts behind drifting.
