火车站社会 Life at the Train Station (Shanghai, China)

Shanghai Train People 火车站生活
Chinese migrants arrive in the large cities of Beijing and Shanghai daily to find their life and their dream. Many fail to realize the dream. Choosing to reside at the train station, migrants refuse to return to their home towns or relinquish the dream of finding a life in the city.

Incredible views are one of the small perks of being at @swatchartpeacehotel as a resident artist. I able to gaze daily upon one of the world’s iconic skylines and am constantly mesmerized by the rhythms and movements of the city. #shanghai #外滩
Sweaty views from 6AM run on the Bund. I love watching a city wake up in the morning and will try to use the jet lag to my advantage these first few days at @swatchartpeacehotel #外滩
Remind me at the end of summer how fortunate I felt to have these iconic views just steps from my @swatchartpeacehotel studio.
Welcome to my summer home at @swatchartpeacehotel as an artist in residence. I’m already feeling inspired by this space and the community of 13 other artist I will share this beautiful historic building with for the next 3 months.
