Introduction to Tianjin harsh for some

I have mixed feelings about the fact that I've run into three interviewees in a single day who less than a month ago traveled a long way to work in Tianjin.

Liu Yi, 23, a fresh graduate from the countryside in southwestern Sichuan province, started his probation period at a pharmaceutical company at the end of July.

Mike Carver arrived from Canada just 12 days before the explosion to teach English at TEDA International School. His colleague, Kim Alman, traveled from the state of Texas in the United States a couple of weeks ago.
