dc.description	Liang Chun and her family live in a migrant settlement in Haidian District, an hour and a half by bus northwest of downtown Beijing, with its vast, glittering malls and imposing office blocks. From the bus stop on the main road my son and I walk for twenty minutes along a dirt track. On the right there are vegetable fields and fruit trees and on the left an area recently bulldozed and then a jumble of stalls and repair workshops marking the edge of the settlement. Fifteen years ago when I was a student, my class took a trip to this area to see a model village. Nowadays, the whole of Haidian district is considered an inner suburb. The rural residents no longer farm, but instead make a handsome living renting out rooms to rural migrants who have come from all over the country.	-
