Ant Tribe
From Wiki China org cn
The ant tribe (蚁族), they were born in the 1980s and now live in the underdeveloped suburbs of major cities in China. The majority come from other areas, particularly the countryside, and they are mostly young graduates who started their college life in 1999, when Chinese universities increased their enrollment dramatically. They don't have a stable job and their average salary is below 2,000 yuan. They are the 'ants', according to Lian Si, a post-doctoral fellow at Peking University who coined the phrase "ant tribe" and wrote a book on it. Indeed, they share every similarity with "ants": living in "colonies" in cramped area, intelligent, hardworking, yet anonymous and underpaid.
