Chongquing, China, March 8, 1995. According to Reuter, "Outside Chongqing railway station, thousands wait for the journey to wealth and opportunity. Outside the ticket counters, police pull out queue jumpers by the hair and throw them to the ground. This is the front line of China's biggest peacetime migration, which saw 3.5 million people move last year from poor rural areas in search of new, better-paying jobs in cities. State Councillor Chen Junsheng said last month a quarter of China's peasants of working age, 120 million people, are jobless or underemployed and are increasingly hard to absorb in cities already plagued with growing unemployment."
