 GUANGZHOU, China (AP) - Hu Qingyuan camped out Friday, waiting for a train to take him home for the Chinese New Year holiday — his only chance each year to see his wife and 8-year-old son.
At a shopping mall not far away, throngs of middle-class Chinese tried on Nike running shoes, browsed for Swatch watches and ate at McDonald's.
The shoppers seemed light years away from the working masses waiting in the cold rain at the train station in the bustling southern city of Guangzhou.
