Large numbers of workers from China's poorer cities such as Heifei, migrate to Shanghai to find jobs in factories and other places with low wages. This migrant mother is one many such laborers, returning from Shanghai to Heifei on this train. She holds her own child in her arms as she looks up at another migrant mother. Although her life is very hard, I feel that she carries not only this child with her, but also a sense of hope. It is what keeps her, and all of these migrant laborers, going.
