or migrant workers who want to send every penny back home
Chinese migrant workers do live like this in many countries around the world. They save most of their money and in a couple of years they take a "loan" from the community and start opening or buying businesses like $1 dollar stores, bars and stuff.
Saw it on a documentary in an TV channel from Spain. These fuckers are taking over the world little by little.
Would you believe there are prostitutes who have rooms in buildings like that? I've nailed plenty in shit hole buildings in HK, but the girls were hot.

You do have to respect their ability for delayed gratification, sacrifice to a bigger goal other than their selves. Hard work, discipline, paying one's dues, looks like these are ingrained in many Chinese. No wonder the Hokkien and other Chinese minorities figure strongly Southeast Asia's economies.
My takeaway: Be grateful for what you have and realize that it's always not as bad as it seems. Everyone has the seed of greatness in their hands. It all depends on what they do with it. Many of these Chinese migrant workers are the parents of future taipans or laying the groundwork for something big... in the future. The future is built on sacrifice and hard work and self-denial.
The guy probably was just covering his face from the camera.
In Chinese factories there are dorms like this for the workers, this is probably a factories dorm or building. It's documented on pbs.org in an episode titled China Blue. I think it was an Independant Lens episode. Lots of forced overtime, pennies a day wages, 2 sets of books to show foreign investors who would frown on the actual conditions and their gov. But they had an extra daughter and it was either go to the city to find the job or live an entire life on meager the family home/plot of land. This is how stores can have every day low low prices on things.

you should see the puta flop houses here... no furniture, room full of girls sleeping on the floor, place rents out for around 3500 pesos a month, 90 bucks about... and they all split/share that so they have somewhere to crash when theyre working the big city
Other than being a bit dirty, I dont see the overall big deal honestly.
If I didn't have much money, I would be happy enough to have a place to sleep and at least store my stuff while I was out working or whatever...
The cages I'm sure are to keep their belongings secure while they are gone... each bunk is their personal space, so its like walls/doors for a bigger apartment, just smaller.
I could see the landlord spending a bit of money in upgrading the cages to cleaner looking / more modern cages, and painting the walls, cleaning the floors and that place would be great... like a modern hotel in tokyo people pay for at the airports.

I agree. There seems to be a lot of "capsule" living/sleeping areas being created. Honestly its much better than having homeless people in the streets.
Doesn't look much different than how people live in Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, India ... They are the 99%. You, in your house with a damn yard, are the 1%.
