Chongqing's Bangbang, or manual labor, came into being at the early stage of China's reform and opening up. During its peak, such population hit 200,000 or more from rural areas to the city. However, with economic and social changes, most of them have left this profession. In this show, we focused on two individual Bangbang, documenting their daily work and life. In a sense, it reflects the transformation of migrant workers in the wave of the country's economic development over the past four decades.
