It's the year 2137.
Water and food is scarce, many species of animals have become extinct, and whole continents have been wiped out. After World War 3, the world was thrown into chaos. Many of the surviving countries declared that it wasn't safe in their own land, so they moved to China, which seems to be the only safe country to live. Due to the large population moving into the country, a huge city was created. It was as big as all the major cities of the world merged together, and it was called Chinatown.
In the south and center parts of the city, shining high-rise buildings stand above all, their silver tips pointing towards the sky. Business [tried to] resume, and the rich people had somewhere to live. However, the under-class people still had to go somewhere. In the northern part of the city, where the sun and snow is harsh, there are buildings almost as large as the high sky-rise buildings, and they are apartments. Apartment, after apartment, after apartment. They are all stacked on top of each other, like building blocks. Walls crack, roof tiles fall, but no one seems to complain. The small alleyways are littered with stalls, and thin lines hang between buildings, flags and clothes swinging and swaying in the wind. The place is colourful, and it seems bright and bustling with people. But it's not what they want, and it's not what the Rebellion wants. They want to change the way of life in Chinatown, and make everyone live equally. Will they be able to change the city?
[Just know that I clicked off the tab while making this, and I had to write the plot all over again, and it was better the first time. ;-;]
