China The largest migration in history

The video discusses the largest internal migration in human history, where nearly 160 million people moved from rural areas to cities in China. This migration was driven by economic opportunities as rural incomes were significantly lower than urban ones. The video highlights the personal and environmental costs of this migration, such as family separation and pollution.
