The gap is quite noticable to the point that rural area residents choose to migrate to the big cities in hopes of earning more money to put food on the tables. This goes back to the topic in our first session. What is the solution to the massive migrant issues arises in China? Simply limiting them from benefiting the resources or pushing them out of the big cities is not going to solve the problem forever. What China needs to find out is what rural residents need in order to grow and develop. Nothing more than education and resources.

Yeah, internet cafes were quite popular a decade ago in China. I had my first desktop in China in 1998 when the internect access was still the dial-ups. Not only was it expensive, it was also super slow. The computer lab at our college had very limited amount of computers that we all had an hour access only. Such situation somehow pushed the development of the internet cafe where people can stay as long as they wanted to. Depends on the quality of the internet and equipments, they charged variously but usually by hour. At that time, to poor college students like us, that was pretty much the best entertainment place where we could afford to go. What attracted us the most was that we got to connect with people who never met or knew. I actually did make some friends online whom I still had contact with till this day.
