- Impressions:
The Unreturning is a pioneering sociological investigation into the "Sanhe Youth," marginalized workers in Shenzhen who have dropped out of the traditional labor market. The book documents their unique subculture of low-wage, temporary jobs and extreme frugality—a choice often involving hunger to afford shelter. This essential non-fiction work offers an unflinching look at their resignation to poverty and the profound rejection of the "Chinese Dream," revealing the dark side of China's economic miracle.
