Hao Hao ReportThe best China news and blog posts

A story (translated via ESWN) by a young girl who after saying goodbye at the train station to her friends stumbles into an eye-opening experience with China's poor.

Befriending an elderly woman collecting rubbish for the little money it provides, the girl helps her pick up bottles and any rubbish of value. The girl then helps the woman bring the garbage back to her small, impoverished community, in turn opening the girl to a side of her city she'd never dreamt still existed in the 21st century. A touching photojournal of the girl's journey.
