Domestic economic migrants in China are referred to as “migrant workers.” Often out of necessity, they leave their homes and families to work in cities. This is a sacrifice made by many parents all over the world. But in China, they pay an additional penalty for moving away from their home area to work: They aren’t eligible for the same social benefits as locals. That’s because of a resident registration system called “hukou.”

But the children of migrant workers often face the biggest sacrifice: If they stay at home in their province or region, they might not see their parent(s) for up to a year, sometimes longer.
