- Beijing's former bomb shelters are now home to a million or more young migrants seeking to save rent as they forge a new life in the Chinese capital. In this intimate video portrait, co-published with Al Jazeera America, a 21-year-old Mongolian street peddler shows off his underground apartment and shares his dreams of making it big as an actor in Beijing.

This man is incredibly strong mentally. I wish to be like him one day.
As newer generations come, the need for physical traits like big forearms, strong midsection etc. is reduced and instead we are more adaptable mentally.
"Men are their dreams" this is a powerful statement and your resilience is admirable man..things will work out...
i am impressed by his attitude n outlook despite circumstances, keep it up! And his calm, measured tone speaks a lot what underly his thoughts, feelings, actions, speech..
man, this guy is admirable! all these people are admirable. look at them fighting for their dreams! they are inspiring :) i take my hat off to you , you have balls
This boy sound so nice and his parents should be proud and I do wish him all the best with his dream
who is here from the half as interesting video?
Me! had to actually see this shit lol
Mother earth is so big and beautiful and yet 1 million people feel like their best chance at a good life includes living in tiny bunker rooms beneath a big and polluted city, insane
@@duderRechthat Yup, how can they not even show a real capture or 2 of the place!
@@joeyv821 Half as interesting prioritizing bad puns and skillshare advertisement over on-topic content once again
Mee
Me! I visited Beijing some years ago. Our tour guide made some oblique references to people living underground but wouldn’t tel us more about it. What the guy in the video said about Beijing being a punishment is pretty bang on though. The city is very interesting, but nice? No.
i love his personality
wish his dreams comes true
"Men are their dreams. A person must have his own thinking. I am not going home unless I become somebody."
Aden Knight beautiful it was
The part I find most difficult would be living without windows. It is good you have a place to live,. It is certainly a lot better than being homeless. You are 21 and have your whole life ahead of you. I notice this is almost 5 years ago ? Where are you now?
he died
@@normalman23 don’t lie bro
He’s 27 no way he died so early
@@DarkKnight-lh4gr no
@@normalman23 no what?
you have to admire their stamina
2015, 7 years from today, hope he is ok.
He's smart, creative, seems to be focused, he's tall, good-looking... hope he makes it.
OMG I'd be afraid to turn off the lights at night! The things that creep and crawl...
The man has a lot of heart. 🙂
This guy trying to become somebody, while I'm trying to shed my ego/identity and become nobody. Irony of life.
Material possessions do not make a person. That being said, one must have some quality of life.
I would have picked the policeman job offer.
Where ever you are I Hope you have achieved your dreams my brother
Drying wet clothes on no sunlight to reaches or even wind to flow, and these kitchen, that must be really tough to live there
Their bunker is somehow better than the partitions here in dubai. When you’ll see in some bedspace it will til 3 deck not a double deck and for the others partition only bed a single door cabinet can fit in. At least they can roll freely 😅.Partition cost $275 in a month or more than $300 in a month for single person
地下室不是不可以住人，但像这种没窗户，又住了这么多人的地方，却只有一处出口，一旦发生火灾或漏一氧化碳，肯定会闹出很多条人命的，租金再便宜也不好考虑。
Any updates? This guy is impressive.. and strong..
Does anyone have links where one can donate to liberal arts programs in Beijing?
The only thing that separates us from our dreams is time. They’re already real. We just have to give out that energy.
Dear Sam, Tell your father that an American lady wrote to you to say that her daughter moved out of her great big house in California to live with a roommate. She lives upstairs and she is always too hot or too cold. But she does not want to come home and work near me. We get along very well but she likes being independent. I guess our children are the same everywhere.❤
I hope this guy achieves his dream. No matter the nation, city, or system outside of Scandinavia and Western Europe, seems like hardknocks rough life just trying to have a meaningful life. Humans and humans on this planet are cruel, in spite that even when it comes down to it, human ingenuity would provide a decent minimum quality of life for everyone--truly possible, but instead we allow or shrug at legitimizing inequality and life sufferings.
What artistic integrity!
Its been six years....i wonder how hes doing
I understand the father. What kind of parent want their son to live in the basement? I just hope they are all in a better place
Living conditions are a lot better than living in a cage.
I guess only introverts would be able to live in a place like this comfortably.
This man is so naive... Accept your father's help, policeman is not that bad a profession. Don't struggle so much, use every advantage you can get. You want to make it as an actor, the thing is it is very hard to make it in that career. I like the fact that he is trying to be independent but he is an only child, his family can help, he should accept it and make things easier for him. His stubbornness will cost him years off his young life when he could have a better start in his adult life. I know most of you will not agree with me but I know life is harsh and unforgiving and mistakes that he makes now will only pull him down later. Imagine he will not succeed in fulfilling his dream, he will not go back to his father without a sense of shame which will only make things harder for him. That being said, Know that I am rooting for him as I was once him.
Because men are their dream. You only live once you gotta live your dream or atleast die trying.
Depends how you see life. Some hold the perspective that it's not about what you have, but what you become. This young man will have solid character, and of he can continue, he will be a strong friend, son and father. Character is forged via suffering.
Go on with your intention on decent living
You do the right thing .Great !
Informative!
貧富差距，文明社會最大悲哀阿..
they believe hard work will amount to something so they hold on trying.
Why don't they just move them into the tons of empty buildings China has?
There is overpopulation and overcrowding. Most of the people who live below the ground are migrant workers who can't afford to live up top because it's so expensive or because they send a portion of their earnings back to their families in the countryside. Sometimes it's a combination of both. CNN did a story on them (it's short, there's not a lot of info out there on the "Rat Tribe"): www.cnn.com/2015/02/17/asia/china-beijing-rat-tribe/index.html
because the empty buildings are too expensive
Because there is no such a thing (empty building) in beijing
The empty buildings are in remote areas, this guy wants to live in Beijing. As such in Beijing the housing is extremely expensive and there is no such thing as empty buildings in Beijing
Because they don't want to live in some living compound 45 kilometres away from the city.
I wonder how he's doing in 2021 ... If he got closer to his dream
Wish this guy to make it one day.
Go Xang, hes a strong willed young man with a great mindset a little money would definately do good for him without ?
What happened of theres a fire from one of the house
Where is he now?
He committed suicide last month
@@minsithumaung6867 where did you get this information? Can you link the source so I can read about it?
@@minsithumaung6867 man don’t Talk shit like this just for fun..
I don’t have any problems with dark humor, but I’m absolutely against it when it targets a single individual!
Make fun about „impersonal groups“ as much as you want, but don’t talk down a single person who is already struggling to make it in this shitty world.
I have lots of respect for this guy for choosing his dream above the comfortable life of a police officer.
bery brave indeed
If it's illegal who are they paying rent to? 🤔
Zhang Xi how are you today? I wish you made it for now! 🙏
Interesting that he said 警察instead of 公安
One thing I don’t understand is why don’t they buy a gallon of paint and paint the walls? It would make the space look cleaner and bigger actually. Paint isn’t very expensive either. Anytime I’ve gotten a house and something looks ugly or old I simply paint it or fix it for a few dollars and it makes the space feel a hundred times better.
I was thinking the same, but then I thought about the paint fumes. It's not like they can open a window :(
Because they're in a situation where money is clearly an issue. surely if you could take one thing from this, it's that his living accommodations aren't his main concern and he's content with what he has currently.
He smokes in there. As if he cares about having clean walls.

People would pay 2k in New York for this
what's on the other side of that window at 2:07?

Better than sewer in Bulgaria, like that other documentary on YT
Why do they have underground city and have hundreds of empty cities?
This underground city are original nuclear bunker underneath Beijing (in fact one way or other most Chinese city have shelter underground)
But since the political landscape has changed, these shelter are sort of abandoned/terminated from its original purpose.
Honestly it’s not bad
How do they pay rent to?
hes fucking swag

这盛世，如你所愿。。。
People need adversity In their life. People need a degree of trauma. It makes us strong builds character helps us persevere. Alot of the depression we have in America is really a pleasure problem. You see in other countries how content they live. Member guys complacency not okay. Contentment is great when you can truly achieve it.
You want to know how is the place down there and he keeps talking about his feelings, sooo boring
Where is he now?
