| Summary: | Verzio FF submission
There are over a billion of them in their motherland. There are ten thousand of them in Serbia and several hundreds in Zagreb. Can they become somebody more than numbers and strangers identified by the red lanterns here, in the small Croatian town located somewhere between East and West? It is difficult to give a straightforward answer to this question now. The Chinese started to come to this place in 2002. Some of them stayed, set up home and stayed here for good but new ones continually appear who simply come and go. It is easier for the Croatians to accept the former ones; some accept the latter, some do not. The Chinese seem to be glad. They give their children Croatian names and set up businesses. They are most happy because they do not need to work all the time here. They have free Sundays, they work shorter on Saturdays and they can take a month or two of holidays and spend this time in China. |
