Who's building the new China? It's not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. It's someone else. It's the people who have left their homes to follow their dreams, the dream of a better life.

     We see them every day, on every street comer, on every construction site in cities. They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas, and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are China's migrant workers(民工).Young and old, these men and women are building the new China from the ground up.

      More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money for their family. And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination (歧視) from the people in cities.

      When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. You can see them playing cards along the streets. Many are living far away from those whom they love. I can sometimes feel their pain, knowing exactly what it feels like to live so far away from home in a city where I walk a different walk and talk a different talk.

     Yes, they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits(習(xí)慣), but they work hard to make money. The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments(政府)refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children.

     If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to be changed. The first is discrimination need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China. They may not make as much money as some people in cities, they may not have everything we have, but they are good honest people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to China' s economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)) development and have become an important force(力量) for the change of Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should lend our hands and help them.

Most cities and towns in China have night markets every day. During the day, the streets are quiet（安靜的）. At night, they become crowded（擁擠的） and lively（活躍的）. Usually people arrive at three or four in the afternoon. By 6:00, the streets are like rivers of people.

Night markets are fun places to shop in. You can buy clothes, shoes and many other things. If the price is too high, you can bargain with sellers（賣者）. You can also buy nice food. When you are hungry, you can sit down for a meal. Smelly tofu is popular, but it really smells bad.

If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully. But if the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn't cross.
When people go to or come from work in the morning and evening, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then, especially(尤其) for the children.

Two Chinese farmers sang "in the spring" in their small room after drinking in a late August evening in Beijing. A friend put their song on the Internet. And soon they became stars around China.

Wang Xu,44, is from Henan, and Liu Gang, 29, is from Heilongjiang. They are among the millions of farmers who have gone to the cities to work.

"Although nobody pays attention to the music, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, with no credit card, no girlfriend or a home with hot water, but only a guitar.” They sing, “It is just like the life we live now.” Wang said, “We are poor farmers, and you know people won't care about us."

Their song is loved by millions of Chinese, including the people who are also from the countryside. Many people said they cried after listening to the song.

Wang came to Beijing in 2000 and has tried many jobs. Each month after he paid 600 yuan for the house and bought food, there was little money left. "I love music, and also want to make more money." Wang said. "I never dreamed of standing on such a big stage.”
