In �۝Bulkland�۝ migrant workers, factory owners and night club dancers struggle to carve out their slice of the pie in a city dedicated to bulk sales of cheap junk: Yiwu, the raw, throbbing heart of ���Made in China�۝, where every day is a hustle. As cheap goods have flooded world markets, dollar stores have popped up around the globe and built this present-day Klondike, connected by the world�۪s longest railway to markets in Western Europe. In Yiwu, the world�۪s largest market fills the shelves of discount chains from Sydney to Madrid with electric Santa dolls, copies of Kate Middleton�۪s engagement ring and ear-wrecking vuvuzelas. Meanwhile, day labourers gather by the thousands in a human market and families have their children help make the zippers that might end up on your fake Chinese purse. But the recipe for success isn�۪t working anymore. China is getting more expensive to live in, and its army of migrant workers require higher wages to make ends meet. Yiwu�۪s inhabitants face a changing China that is trying to reach past the simple mass production that the country�۪s wealth is built upon.
