Economic opportunities in the Pearl River Delta region in Southern China have attracted a large number of unmarried female temporary workers or dagongmei from the central and western regions of the country. Existing literature on the dagongmei tend to cast them into either “rebellious” or “filial” daughters. This study reexamines these ideal types based mainly on data gathered from in-depth interviews with 75 female and 55 male factory workers in 1993 and 1994. Data gathered from male workers allowed the study to compare behavior patterns and life plans of male and female temporary labor migrants. The study suggests that it might be more meaningful to understand the tension the dagongmei face in their desire to be independent and their sense of family obligation.

<div> <p>In this study current status of the ambient air quality in the main cities of the Pearl River Delta region was investigated. Two special administrative regions (Macau and Hong Kong) and three major cities of Guangdong (Guangzhou, Dongguan and Foshan) were selected for analysis according to their geographical distribution, population, gross domestic product and industrial importance. The air quality of each city was diagnosed by using the monitoring data of 2014 and by applying the HYSPLIT model. The region is affected by transboundary pollution outside the delta area but the local emissions are the most important. The Asian Monsoon system also influences the air masses transport pattern.</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>
