Girl reflecting in the 'city wreckage' (tianya club) Updated: 2006-07-25 15:50  Once the woman found out who I was, she felt close to me.
Her child is attending university right now, and every RMB obtained from the
garbage goes to pay for the costly tuition of an elite student.
The woman was vivacious. In her mind, the fate of the family will be altered
as soon as the child graduates. I dared not tell her that the employment
prospects for university graduates are not as good as before and the road ahead
is still distant.
