We
all know that China has the biggest skyscrapers, the fastest growing
economy, and the emptiest cities in the world. We also know that there
is no such thing as a free lunch. And with every economic success story,
no matter how engineered, manipulated, or contrived, comes a human
cost. The 2009 documentary by Lixin Fan, "The Last Train Home", is just
one such attempt to capture the "human element" behind the glitzy
headlines and the 9% GDP growth. The quite synopsis: "Every spring,
China's cities are plunged into chaos as 130 million migrant workers
travel back to their home villages for the New Year's holiday. This
mass exodus is the world's largest human migration, an epic spectacle
that exposes a nation tragically caught between its rural past and
industrial future. Working over several years in classic cinéma
vérité style, director Lixin Fan traveled with one couple who have
embarked on this annual trek for almost two decades. Like many of
China's rural poor, the Zhangs have left their native village of Huilong
in Sichuan province and their newborn daughter to find work in
Guangzhou in a garment factory for 16 years and see her only once a year
during the Spring Festival. Their daughter Qin, now a restless and
rebellious teenager- bitterly resents her parents' absence and longs for
her own freedom away from school and her rural hometown, much to the
dismay of her parents. She eventually leaves school, against the wishes
of her parents, to work in the city. Emotionally charged and starkly
beautiful, Last Train Home examines one fractured family to shed light
on the human cost of China's ascendance as an economic superpower." We
bring the documentary in 6 parts to our readers in hopes of a greater
understanding of the dynamics behind the world's biggest economic
dynamo.

Goldman's Jim O'Neill Goes Bear Hunting
The last time (May 2010) when the head of the worst performing division at Goldman, GSAM's Jim O'Neill openly taunted the market skeptics ("Anyhow, dear grizzlies....bet your [sic] worried about today’s rally? See u later.") the market proceeded to implode with such ferocity (not to mention see the first and biggest SEC fine charged against his firm for CDO rigging) that it took QE2 to prevent a depressionary relapse. Now, following the latest two week surge in risk assets, driven as we currently speculate primarily due to a FX repatriation out of French banks on asset liquidation and USD to EUR conversion, Jim O'Neill has once again crawled out of his shell and has gone "bear hunting." However, so as not to jinx the ongoing melt up on proceeding liquidations, he is far more subdued and rhetorically answer himself: "So are the bears beaten? As tempting as it is, alas I think not - at least yet." He continues, putting the onus of the growth thesis once again squarely on China: "While the Euro challenges are immense, I don’t see them as being necessarily of the power to drag down either China or the US, or both. While it is perfectly possible, the US and China have coped perfectly well with Japan’s weakness for a long period, so I don’t see why they can’t cope with a struggling Europe. A collapsing Europe would be a different story, but a struggling Europe, that shouldn’t be too demanding. As for Europe, the bar has been raised these past few weeks, as markets have recovered and expectations of a Big Bang increased. There are all sorts of dilemmas remaining, ranging from Berlusconi’s tentative hold of power in Italy to the divergence of stances on the right broad European solution. What we really need from Europe is to just not implode, that would be a problem for the rest of us and the markets." Unfortunately for Jim, he appears to have missed the "paradigm shift" when few if any buy the China as world savior phenotype any more, and instead most finally see what Jim Chanos and other fringe bloggers have been claiming for year. As for the bears, Jim, just like last time, fear not - the bears will once again have the last laugh."Last Train Home" - The Video Documentary Of The Human Cost Behind China's Stunning Growth Story
