Usually residents in the urban village are migrant workers and “Beijing drifters”, who have to work in the day and come back home at night. Neighbors seldom meet each other. Some senior people who cannot afford an apartment also live in the village. (Chinanews.com/ Jin Shuo)

Beijing drifters, a term used to describe hundreds of thousands of young people who are drawn to live in the capital, a city they believe to have more economic and cultural opportunities.
