S1 E1: The Chinese Dream

Feb 7, 201644 min

Over the past few years, Shanghai has been inundated with immigrants. The world's largest port city has nearly 10 million newcomers, all seeking to live their dream of being financially successful in this city. Ruben meets some of these dreamers and newcomers and explores the key success factors of Shanghai. For example, a woman can't have too high cheekbones, for that means bad luck. And young migrants really have to get used to the fact that there are no parents to clean up after them as they were used to in the country. But if China's President Xi Jinping has anything to say about it, everything will have to give way to the Chinese Dream - for successful individuals make a successful nation.
