Episode overview
The number of Chinese immigrants to Laos increases daily, with men and women who struggled to succeed in the quickly developing country seeking new lives for themselves. More than wealth or opportunity, they wish to begin anew in a country where life moves at a slower pace, without any the stress of their homeland. Around them grow new communities and groups, reflecting the unique presence they bring to Laos. In this episode, we follow the Chinese people who have traveled to Laos in search of a better quality of life, free from the hustle and bustle of their homeland.
