However, through the field trip to Shenzhen, the sentence has convinced me that this is exactly the description of the ethnic minority people there. They are the catchers in Shenzhen.
On the 17th of November, we human class took a trip to the China Folk Culture Villages in Shenzhen for the purpose of getting to know the current life of ethnic minority people who have immigrated to cities. I was expecting a normal tour as usual, while the trip turned out to be surprisingly fascinating, especially the direct communication part. Not only did we visit the villages there, but also we interviewed the ethnic minority performers personally. After that, the talk with the Uyghur hawkers in Futian District has brought me insights to the ethnic minority people’s life as well. Besides, the delicious meal in a Xinjiang Restaurant also left me a unique impact on me. Thus, my report will be divided in three parts, the visit part, the interview part and the conclusion.
