The immigration issue is a major global issue in our world. In China, labor migration is providing vulnerable groups of immigrants. Many Chinese have the impression that overseas migration means wealth and a better life. However, the life of Chinese immigrants overseas is not glamorous, as people think. For female labor immigrants, in addition to overcoming fears of unfamiliar environments and living in poverty, they also face human trafficking and sex industries. Immigrants have paid a great price. They left their loved ones and friends, left everything they are familiar with, and went to a country where they can’t even understand the language, in order to seek a better life. When they set foot on the new land with high expectations, all kinds of unexpected and unpredictable risks emerge, in the way of opportunity. Yi and Mei are both labor immigrants who have abroad working experience.
Yi is working as an escort in Taiwan. Mei once worked for three years in Japan as a labor immigrant through a fake marriage. This is their story.
