展开Show Notes
I am one of the urban stayers because of my five-month pregnancy and this is the first year that i choose not to return home for reunion. A shed of sadness poured into my mind. At the sight of today title, I have a deep understanding and resonation with those who choose to be urban stayers just for cashing in on big profits, just a compromise to the cruel life. Meanwhile, I also feel heartbroken for the distress of some construction site workers. New Year of course is the reunion moment, but they have to ask for the paycheck hither and thither, which is what they should deserve.
