Hong Kong - a life in a cage (16 photos)
Hong Kong ranked as the richest city in China. For example, the number of Louis Vuitton boutiques in the city exceeds the same in Paris. However, the lives of tens of thousands of poor people is dull: there are many like rabbits, sleeping in cages measuring 180 by 60 centimeters. British photographer Brian Cassie documented the life of the lower classes of Hong Kong.
The owners of apartment buildings are cashing in on the poor migrant workers from inland provinces of China, the poor, the elderly and other things descended Luda, who can not afford to pay for the expensive rent housing in the former British colony.
The most expensive cell costs about $ 200, the cheapest - about 130-150 dollars a month.
Thus, one large room with 40-45 square meters of the landlord has a month to 3-4 thousand dollars in revenue.
According to Brian Cassie, to live in such conditions, monstrous, but the only alternative is stagnation in the street for free.
