Homeless Chinese in Shanghai sleeping in fast food restaurants at night
In many big cities of China, there are many people who may have jobs but are still homeless. Each night, they will try to sleep in 24-hour fast food restaurants like McDonald’s or in internet bars where the price to use the computer all night is cheap. Last March, a young McDonald’s worker was stabbed and killed when he confronted a homeless man who was trying to spend the night in the 24-hour fast food restaurant. This brought a lot of attention to this phenomenon. A translated Southern Weekly article from Shanghaiist.
