Beijing is a modern city, there are many skyscrapers in the city. These buildings were built by the builders who came from the other places in the country.

So, we have to thanks them. But there is a discriminational permission for them - Temporary Residential Permission.

If someone is Chinese, but he was not born in Beijing, he have to apply for a temporary residential certificate first if he work in Beijing.

A temporary residence permit valid for one year, apply for it again when it expired. The workers whom from other places in the country have to carry the temporary residence permit in their pocket.

If they use the expired documents, they will be punished for 50.00 RMB fine. In serious cases will be ordered to leave Beijing.

Why is discriminatory? Because it is not essential for the people from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shenzhen or Shanghai, but it is necessary for the people from Anhui, Dongbei and the other backward cities.

During the Olympic Games, no temporary resident permits people will be mandatory away from Beijing.
