Who’s building the new China? It’s not the factory owners or the business men and women of China．It’s someone else．It’s the people who have left their homes to follow their dreams, the dream of a better life．

We see them every day, on every street corner, on every construction site in cities．They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather．They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas, and the supermarkets．They even clean up our rubbish．They are China’s migrant workers（民工）．Young and old, these men and women are building the new China from the ground up．

More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China．They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money for their family．And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination（歧视）from the people in cities．

When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers．You can see them playing cards along the streets．Many are living far away from those whom they love．

I can sometimes feel their pain, knowing exactly what it feels like to live so far away from home in a city where I walk a different walk and talk a different talk．

Yes, they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits（习惯）, but they work hard to make money．The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments（政府）refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children．

If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to changes．The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China．They may not make as much money as some people in cities, they may not have everything we have, but they are good honest（诚实）people just trying to survive this game of life．These workers are very important and necessary to China’s economic（经济）development and have become an important force（力量）for the change of Chinese society（社会）．They are building the new China, so we should lend our hands and help them．
