The book examines the significant migration of 260 million citizens from their permanent hukou locations by 2010, highlighting the challenges this poses to China's restrictive Mao-era migration system. Jason Young analyzes the state's response to these changes and emphasizes the critical role of the hukou system in shaping migration and settlement patterns in modern China. Through detailed documentation, it explores the evolving dynamics between citizens and state policies amidst rapid societal transformation.
