I'm New Here

A hub for African migrants has emerged in Guangzhou, China, as they flock to the city in pursuit of employment opportunities in industries like electronics, fashion, furniture-making, and construction.

A unique look behind the scenes of a new economic relationship between Africa and China is showcased through the lives of individuals in Tian Xiu, a building in Guangzhou, China. Some Africans adapt quickly, learning the language, building relationships, and earning a living, while others struggle with changing Chinese laws, miscommunication, and racism. Many have invested all their money in this Chinese venture and cannot return home due to the poor economic and political situation in their homeland, making their future even more hopeless.
