Six-year-old Zhang Dongxu writes homework at his father's stall in Wanxiu Village of Nanning City, capital of southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, June 26, 2013. Urban villages, or "villages in cities", are usually inhabited by poor people and migrants. The tough living conditions there make it difficult for children of migrant workers' families to pursue education. Despite the short physical distance from city, their study environments fall far behind from those in urban areas. Their dream is to live and study just like children living in cities.
