So began a decade spent moving between the garment mills and electronics factories of China's fast-growing southern cities.\nAdrift in the South is a first-hand account of a life spent dodging corrupt officials and abusive employers, working long hours in brutal conditions and sleeping in overcrowded dormitories.
