Searching for meaning during the pandemic: Delivery riders' motivations in keeping the city of Wuhan running
This article explores the motivations behind the moral code of delivery rider migrant workers who served in Wuhan, China, during the pandemic. Based on ethnographic research, we analyze how riders experienced the challenging situation of everyday work. Influenced by socialist and neoliberal contexts, the riders' actions reflect diversified moral values combining individualistic and collectivist ethics. The precarious conditions gave rise to alter…
An Investigation into the Group Characteristics of Casual Construction Workers: A Typical Case Study of Casual Workers on China's Southeastern Seaboard (III)

Once the time is ripe, they will move to other jobs, for which reas…

The substance of these transformations can be seen in the changes in, and the restructuring …

Third, it suggests how to localize a…
On Rural Urbanization in China
The author reviews "the debate regarding rural urbanization in the Chinese literature and the political factions that support different positions. He also introduces us to the complexity of defining ¿urbanization' in a Chinese context.
