Regarding the reasons for persisting, w88 sports betting said:“This is what society needs, and we gain happiness from it.”
■Solution“Downward youth”
w88 sports betting once brought the manuscript of "Ant Tribe" to the publishing house. He said that this book was related to people's livelihood and would become popular in the future.

■Field research on both ends

As the investigation deepens, the appearance of this group gradually changes from vague to clear: some of the young people living in the urban-rural fringe have graduated from prestigious universities, and more are from local colleges and private universities; some are completely unemployed, and more are engaged in low-income jobs such as insurance sales, catering services, advertising and marketing. Before publishing the book, Lian wanted to come up with an image name to represent this group of young people: Ant Tribe.

Reporter:“Ant clan”Such surveys are generally considered insufficient by academic circles“Academic”, it is also difficult to bring academic reputation, so why do you still do it?
