"Fan’s book both provides a summary description of some of the basic facts about migration in China and helps shed light on some aspects of China’s migration experience that are not as well known. It is useful for any scholars interested in knowing more about either labormarket institutions in China or the process of migrant labor market evolution in China." -- Journal of Regional Science, VOL. 50, NO. 3, 2010
