At the end of 2017, Beijing evicted thousands of migrant workers from the city. They had emigrated - often in open disobedience of China’s hukou system - to the capital in pursuit of economic opportunity. That choice often required exchanging lives of rural poverty for lives of urban poverty. These photographs show the aftermath of the evictions: belongs piled on the street; empty dwellings; doors marked with yellow eviction notices; walls marked by children’s drawings that are now beginning to fade.
