Visit to the LiBang Village and the Beijing Fuping (Equal Prosperity) Vocational School

LiBang Village for Migrant Workers*

Beijing Fuping Vocational School Students from Rural Western China

(*A complex issue in China, as the household registration system — a holdover from the fully collectivist period — restricts the right to migrate internally. LiBang allows people from rural areas to seek higher paying jobs in industrial regions and to enjoy residential rights while working; it is a part of the generally more liberal attitude of Fenghua to accept migration from other parts of China.)
