While scanning NPR, I came across an interesting broadcast with an interview of a Chinese woman struggling to decide between the new urban/city-like life from her usual rural lifestyle.
I gained interest in this article mostly because of the issues addressed in the “China in the Red” doc. we watched last week.
Related issues addressed in this broadcast include the expectations of the old generation for their children to steer away from urban life. The woman in this clip sounds distrought by going against her parents wishes, but sees greater opportunities in the city as well.
