What's in The News Today

Hong Kong's poor are living in cages. One former person Chau Kam- chuen was one of over 400,000 working poor that live in cages. He paid #167.6 USD to live in the cage. He stated that it's extremely uncomfortable especially if you get the top bunk 'no head room and your head is pushed up to the ceiling.' The cage is smaller than a jail cell and they house thousands of poverty-stricken men and women. The air condition doesn't work and there are cockroaches and bedbugs. A charity art event put these poor people's living conditions on display to show the living differences between the rich and the poor.
