China’s official statistics count 250 million migrant workers across the country. They have served as the backbone of China’s rise and have demonstrated the power to change the world. What they desire most are hope and opportunity. Contrasting their fathers， the young generation， employed in cities， lacks the desire and capability to engage in farm work. Propelled by ambitious dreams， they move to big cities without an option to return. They work hard to achieve their dreams but never find a sense of belonging in the city.
Living hand-to-mouth and plagued by culture shock， the young generation has to develop new tactics to achieve comfortable lives. They are not alone. In China today， greater numbers of sociologists and NGOs have shown considerable concern for the plight of migrant workers， and have been volunteering help and documenting their transformational tales because to a certain extent， their contribution may signal the direction of China’s future transformation.
This issue features two NGO stories from northern and southern China， respectively. Though operating in different regions， these organizations share common organizational concepts and campaign goals： improving social education of the young generation of migrant workers. “I don’t want to see them treated as machines like in Chaplin’s Modern Times，” asserts He Zhongzhou， founder of the Blue Collar’s Co-operatives. “Education and enlightenment can pave the way to sustainable life.”
