I'm touch, how about you?


Photo 1: Together, through Warm and Cold(Photographer: An Hejie. Market Place, Town of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia)
  • Beyond the northern (Inner Mongolia) frontier, spring has arrived but the cold weather lingered on. Snow fell on this April morning. Flakes danced in the sky. A middle-aged man tended to his cart, on which sat a littleboy, wrapped up with blanket used to keep the vegetables from freezing. From time to time, the father would tuck at the blanket to make sure that his son was all right. These are the words from the photographer: "Set inthe dark and shadowy background and the dancing snow flakes, the pinkpuffy face of the little boy stood out in great contrast to that of the father which was apparently shaped by the caprices of life. And life was indeed harsh. Father and son only have each other for support. When the father yelled out a sales pitch on top of his voice, his facial _expression was shockingly touching. One cannot help but be moved."

Photo 2: Love

The father and his son live in an impoverished hilly area. They demand nothing but a piece of land to call their own. Perhaps they will not havea chance to see the outside world all their lives -- they will not know what a staircase is, they will never ride in a taxi, nor will they everstep into a movie theater. But the truth is these are the people who offer us everything our lives depend on, generation after generation. The heaven and earth have nothing to repay them. Love them!

Photo 3: Grandpas' Tears

Caption on the photo: That day, we found that we were able to attend school. We were so happy. But grandpa cried. Do you understand? The tears of an elderly man...This semester has been dealt with, what about the next?

Photo 4: A midst Rain and Wind.Your elderly mother and little children are waiting for you to come homewith the day's wages.

Photo 5: Old Man Crying

The old man sells roast yam for a living. Because he doesn't have a license, his tools were confiscated and his tricycle was smashed, its chain cut. All the old man can do is to sit there and cry. TOmorrow.

Photo 6:
No rose, no diamond ring, but if this is not love, what is love?
With enthusiasm, love your life! Love the people around you!

P/S:When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world. Be thankful for what we have. Love your life & appreciate the people around you.

many say 'yes, i understand' but few say 'yes, i can help' i came across worse scenarios than these happenning to people near me which i could have reached out to but i did not. But this is life. And life is not always fair. But off life's rocky path, these people value little things in life which many failed to do. And these people are indeed richer in life than those who are rich in possession.

ok ... i dunno what im babbling about. tired. zzzz
