The “ant tribe (蚁族)” are those who were born in the 1980s and now live in the underdeveloped places of big cities. Most of them come from the countryside, and they are mostly young graduates who have finished their high education in the past few years. They often change their jobs and their average salary is below 2,000 yuan. They are called ‘ant tribe’ because they have the same characters as ‘ants’: living together, clever, hardworking but unknown and low-paid.
Deng Kun is a member of the ‘anti tribe’. When he was in college studying math, he imagined himself working for a company like IBM. Instead, he has spent his time after graduation in a dark and small room he shares with a friend in outside parts of Beijing, playing video games or trying to wait for a job as a salesman.
Zhang Haijian studies physics, but he is now working as a waiter, making only 1,500 yuan a month. “My parents would never say anything about my money,” he said. “But I sometimes talk with my friends about whether it has been worth it – we worked so hard in college and now I get money less than some of my classmates who did not finish middle school.”
Most members of the ‘ant tribe’ are about twenty. They don’t want to go back; they prefer a single bed in Beijing to a house in their hometown. They are looking forward to bright future. We wish their dream would come true.
