Country vs City
The city and the countryside in China are very, very different. Average income for cities is vastly more than in the countryside.
Also the style of living and acommodation and there are even different laws.
People in the city often look down on the country folk. One person I'm very close to grew up in the countryside, but as they have a good job working in the city, they will never tell anyone this.
It's something that China needs to do something about to drag the country up to a more civilized level, but I don't think it's going to happen very soon. The sheer scale of things will see to that.
More on these differences at a later date.
