Despite our intentions to find the joy and dignity in life, our discoveries would carry less meaning were they to lack proper context. For most LBXes, life is hard. A casual observer will likely witness only the hardship. Our guiding mission is to dig deeper. Nevertheless, there is beauty in adversity, and the challenges we face and overcome are an integral part of what makes us human.
The man here is a worker at the Panjiayuan antique market in Beijing, where I spent some time this weekend. From what I could tell, he spends his time hauling heavy things back and forth on a tricycle cart, but unfortunately I didn’t get to spend any time with him.
I’ll be posting shots from the market throughout the week.
