We travel to South America to meet the Chinese migrants who are making their way to the United States using an unexpected route - the established migrant trail through South and Central America to the southern border with Mexico.
Citing economic challenges at home - and using inspiration from social media - a growing number are making this perilous trek.
Reporter Shawn Yuan travels along the route speaking to migrants about their journey and their aspirations for the future.
