Uprooted: Beijing Evicts “Low-end Population”

A fire broke out at a low-budget apartment in Beijing’s Daxing district in November 2017. This incident sparked a wave of mass eviction of the so-called “low-end population” in the city. Many migrant workers lost their homes overnight. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, after the eradication, the long-term resident population of Beijing in 2018 decreased by nearly 200,000 compared with the previous year. This film features Mr. Nie, who came to Beijing from Jiangxi province to run a grocery store; he talked about his broken “Beijing Dream”. This video is dedicated to those who silently devoted themselves to Beijing. (Produced by Initium Media)
