Jingwen, 23 and Chinese, has been working with her parents in Johannesburg for the past seven years. Her parents came to Johannesburg in 2004 and now own a small restaurant in Chinatown. In 2010, Jingwen quit school and went to Johannesburg to seek more opportunities. Now she is dreaming of going back to China.
