The father selling the vegetables in cold weather outside and trying his best effort hawks out, “vegetables!! vegetables!!” while his son sits quietly in the cozy coats. it’s a strong contrast from people resting at home watching tv.. enjoy new years dinner with family, heaters blasting..

Father and son lives in the improverished moutainous area. They have nothing to strive for. But only asking for a land of their own. Perhaps they have never know what’s the world is like outside of moutains. they have never walked on a shaircase, they have never ride a cab, they have never entered a theater, but it’s them. the simple industrious people of generations providing us food. Love the, at least respect them in the sentiment.

An old man sobs after the city guard walks away. this old man sells sweet potato on the street. his tricycle chain link was sheared by the city guard, the front wheel wire is also stepped. He leaned against the wall and contiune sobs. Some good hearted people passed by and helped him, gave him some money for the the broken tricycle. In china, you need ‘face’, even a low class farmer needs face. (face, also would mean.. pride..? please correct me in comments) now he cant worry about his face, and crying hard as he please. he has arrived the bottom of his life after this happened. because, he has to eat, he’s too old. and he can not do heavy labor jobs, he’s a man, therefore he couldnt work as a stripper or a prostitute, but he needs to LIVE! perhaps you dont let him sell stuffs on the street is right, but then you need to show him another way of making living as an OLD MAN!!!
