"It’s impossible to shake the sense that the young workers here lack not just a sense of control and self determination, but also a certain carefree innocence many of their Western counterparts take for granted." It surely isn't an easy life [0], but what always gets to me is the old people who are poor. At least the young has hope, especially in anomalous city like Shenzhen. Who knows what is going to happen in 5 or 20 years. It might even show itself to be one of the best places in the world to be born right now.
