but also reflects the intention and trajectory of teachers as actors with the imbalance of urban and rural resources. Taking teachers’ mobility as an entry point

this article focuses on the lives and shows the daily images of migrant teachers and outlines the logic of actions and survival strategies behind the mobility of teachers. The study finds that although migrant teachers can leap into cities

organizational life and daily life. Hometowns that cannot be returned to and cities that are difficult to integrate into have jointly shaped their lives as strangers.
