This game is inspired by Gangxia Village, an urban village in Shenzhen, China. Such villages have a more unique history comparing to other residential areas. They have accompanied Shenzhen since the 1980s, the time when the city just started to develop. Immigrant workers who were seeking for better opportunities and lives arrived here and settled in urban villages, making Shenzhen one of the fastest-developing cities.
Despite some problems brought by the high population density, the rent prices in urban villages were more affordable. Therefore, it was the choice of numerous immigrant workers, since they didn't have enough money to purchase a house in the big city. They came to Shenzhen for different reasons. But eventually, their work allowed Shenzhen to develop from a small fishing village into a major city containing over 10 million people in just 40 years.
However, in such a fast-growing place, new things always replace the old ones. Due to the rapid city growth and several factors, many urban villages in Shenzhen are now facing the fate of being gentrified. The fact is: before Gangxia Village, Baishizhou, another urban village in Shenzhen, was already facing gentrification. Immigrant workers who settled themselves there will have to find another place or return home.
It is an undeniable fact that all urban villages will gradually disappear in our city and being replaced by modern buildings. However, we cannot forget how remarkable they are in Shenzhen's development: they made dreams possible. This is why I developed this game: to tell the stories behind this.
Enjoy the Game!
