Today in human geography we continued to watch the video about Chinese economy. It told a lot of stories on several families/people. There was this one woman who was miserable in her marriage and planned to divorce her drunken husband after her daughter pursued the rest of her education and graduated college. She was an EXTREMELY hard worker and carried about 120 pounds of produce on her back. Her pay was about 3 dollars a day. Then there was another family who was rich. They bought only the highest quality of furniture and technology and they bought a sofa that had literally traveled around the world. There was also another family who was a family of four in Maryland. The father had returned back to China to start a company for a cheaper price than it would have been in MD. His company worked on making a cure for AIDS. We left off on learning about the "Bang Bang Man" and the difference of the Walmart in China verses the Walmart in America.
