 	A description of the film: "Every 
 spring, China's cities are plunged into 
 chaos, as all at once, a tidal wave of humanity 
 attempts to return home by train. It is the 
 Chinese New Year. The wave is made up of millions 
 of migrant factory workers. The homes 
 they seek are the rural villages and families 
 they left behind to seek work in the booming 
 coastal cities. It is an epic spectacle that 
 tells us much about China, a country discarding 
 traditional ways as it hurtles towards modernity 
 and global economic dominance.\n
 	On 
 Tuesday, April 26, we will have a special audience 
 discussion following the film. A panel 
 of faculty from MSU and UM familiar with Chinese 
 workplace issues and culture will explore 
 questions and issues raised by the film.\n
 	The 
 panel will include Peter Berg of MSU's School 
 of Human Resources and Labor Relations; Hu 
 Li of Nanjing University's School of Business 
 and visiting professor in MSU's School of 
 Human Resources and Labor Relations; and Zhang 
 Yanjun, Professor of English, Southeast University, 
 China/Visiting Scholar, MSU Global Studies 
 in the Arts & Humanities. The 
 panel will be moderated by MSU Professor, John 
 Beck, director of Our Daily Work/Our Daily 
 Lives.\n
