China migrant workers' silver dreams
After working hard all their lives away from home, they look forward to using their hard-earned savings to live it up in retirement
MIGRANT worker Guo Huailiang is planning to live it up a bit in his retirement.
After 19 years living in cramped quarters in Beijing, rising at 5:30am for a 12-hour shift, the 52-year-old construction worker is socking away money that would allow him to return to his eight-room house and four-acre plot in the countryside, spend a bit of cash and travel.
He's dreaming of trips to Hainan Island, Taiwan and even South Korea.
