If the life of the second wife is not necessarily appealing it’s much easier than that for the ladies on the bottom tier of China’s prostitution game. The Xiagongpeng, “the women who live in a shed” are the least fortunate of all those working in the sex trade in the country. These are women who for whatever reason (age, looks, mental illness, etc.) cannot find work in a better part of the industry.

The Xiagongpeng service those without much in the way of funds to pay for sexual services, in some cases the fee can be as low as a bowl of soup and most often will not exceed 10 RMB (that’s $1.50 USD, or 1 Euro, or 1 GBP). Her customers will be from the most disadvantaged groups in China, migrant workers on minimum wage, elderly men living on subsistence pensions, etc. . . .
