Chinese Middle Class in Gurgaon, India | Sina “Witness”
Wu Hao—Sina “Witness”
Photographer Wu Hao traveled 20 minutes southwest of New Delhi to Gurgaon (officially called Gurugram), where he found Chinese entrepreneurs living and working in a district of modern shopping malls they’d nicknamed “Gurgaon Sanlitun,” after the well-known glass and steel Sanlitun pedestrian shopping mall in Beijing. While tensions between the governments of China and India rose over the summer to their highest pitch in 30 years, Wu’s photographs captured the story of two Chinese people, one from Beijing and one from Chongqing, making lives for themselves in the other billion-plus nation on earth.
