The strategies they adopt during the transition are vital to achieving upward social mobility. To transform themselves from hired laborers to business owners, they seek funding from their original social networks based on family and location and set up new social networks in their places of residence to share information and other external resources. While moving upward, these migrants use their networks to create a new, distinct social space. Although entrepreneurial migrants readily adapt to urban life, the household registration system and discriminatory regulations based on it require them to return to their places of origin at crucial moments in their lives. In terms of political status and social reputation, entrepreneurial migrants still find themselves on the \"fringe\" of urban society. As a result, they have not truly completed the migration from countryside to city or moved to a higher social stratum.","PeriodicalId":84447,"journal":{"name":"Chinese sociology and anthropology","volume":"40 1","pages":"25 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74674747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Transformation, Adaptation, and Self-Identity of New Urban Migrants","authors":"Chen Shaojun, Z. Yiquan, Z. Huashan, Yang Ruijuan","doi":"10.2753/CSA0009-4625430102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2753/CSA0009-4625430102","url":null,"abstract":"As a result of the development of the social economy, China is currently urbanizing at an unprecedented rate: a particular social group with an extremely large number of members is in the process of being involuntarily peeled away from the traditional, agricultural mode of production. These people have to face an unfamiliar life in the city and constitute a subset within the social group of new urban migrants—landless rural residents. Because landless rural residents have a unique self-identity, this article was based upon two related presuppositions: first, landless rural residents possess the characteristics of peasants; their social memories of the past and the temporal and spatial transformation of their personal experiences in modern society could potentially influence and restrict the depth and development of their self-identification with their status. Second, as with urban residents, the status of landless rural residents is externally recognized by the household registration system; however, status and self-identity are more directly informed by the attitudinal and behavioral choices that the landless rural residents individually make with regard to urban society, which could potentially affect their adaptation to urban life. On these grounds and based upon field research on the landless rural residents of X village, Y province, this article analyzes the issue of their transformation, adaptation, and self-identity, from the three perspectives of their nonagricultural occupations, their urbanized living environment, and the status that the household registration system granted to these new urban residents. The study shows that the social memories of rural life can influence the life paths of the elderly among the landless rural residents: in getting or seeking employment, the elderly display numerous disadvantages; in their interaction with their neighbors, they are unable to recapture their familiar memories of social contact; they are not aware of the rights and benefits attached to their urban residential status; they are not willing to assimilate into the urban environment, so vastly different from rural life; and their aspirations for their self-identity are low. However, the new generation of landless rural residents displays fairly strong aspirations to become urban residents: they distance themselves from agricultural production early on; they show understanding of their new completely different urban life; and they are willing to become members of the urban residents' community. Thus, there are fairly distinct internal disparities within the group of landless rural residents.","PeriodicalId":84447,"journal":{"name":"Chinese sociology and anthropology","volume":"394 1","pages":"23 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76655490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One consists of the choice of, and attitude toward \"flow-backs\" (hui liu) and \"switching jobs\" (zhuan gong) on the part of new and old migrant workers. The authors maintain that \"flow-backs\" and \"switching jobs\" are the different means by which the new and old generation of migrant workers face future developments and handle opportunities that enable them to make subjective choices. Implied behind these opportunities are the migrant workers' different self-realization requirements, displacement strategies, and different perspectives on urban and rural life. Another concerns the self-categorization process of the new and old generation of migrant worker groups—in other words, how these groups have undergone subjective divisions due to differences in concepts and choices. By analyzing the mutual evaluations, delimitations, interactions, and even conflicts among them, a clearer understanding is obtained of the process of the new replacing the old within migrant worker groups.","PeriodicalId":84447,"journal":{"name":"Chinese sociology and anthropology","volume":"16 1","pages":"66 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88516016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article notes that more and more university graduates from the countryside are employed in nonstandard jobs in the cities.

They have similar characteristics to those of the traditional migrant worker, and have formed a specific group, namely intelligent migrant workers. Our investigation indicates that these intelligent migrant workers have several characteristics: they are of high quality, are young and energetic, pay great attention to relationships with classmates, lead a more fashionable lifestyle, and are drifting temporarily in the cities, but they do not possess the clustering characteristic exhibited by the \"ant tribe\" (yizu).","PeriodicalId":84447,"journal":{"name":"Chinese sociology and anthropology","volume":"58 1","pages":"42 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86329155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
