The original Chinese caption says: scrap-collecter
: mother ages this way.
The elderly woman was carrying flattened cardboard
boxes, corrugated or not, on her back. Apparently she was making
a living by collecting these recyclable materials.
拾荒者（母亲是这样老去的）
The original Chinese caption says: under the
same sky.
Under the same sky, a mother is watching her
child's shoes being polished by another child's mother. The
child is sleeping on his mother's back. Along the street, you
can see other women shoe-polishers with their primitive shoe-polishing
stuff and battered rattan chairs for their customers to sit
and be attended to.
在一片天空下
Man-powered tricycles are still
used a lot as transportation in China. The original Chinese caption
says: a tune in the rain.
雨中曲
School children eating lunch,
out of boxes and cups, and with chopsticks. The original Chinese
caption says: peasant children's lunch.
