Making a living in Beijing

As China's Communist Party congress continues in Beijing, one of President Xi Jinping's key challenges will be to ensure the country's wealth and opportunities are spread more equally among the population. Newshour's Tim Franks met two young people finding it tough to make ends meet: 24-year-old Huang Shu, who's just begun a job as a primary school teacher, and 21-year-old Wang Beichen, who's studying Chinese and International Education. Beichen spoke first.
