A Dark Staircase of An Apartment

Huaiji City, Guangdong view map

Most of the staircases I saw in Huaiji City were dark and dirty.
The living and hygienic standards there were lower than other major cities in China.

Never too dark for you CM, only shadows and nuances of light that you capture to perfection.

A witness to every major Chinese changes and turmoils of the past century ... from pre-Mao, the Mao era, the Cultural Revolution and the Economic Revolution ... to today ... and now it is old and tired ... If those walls could speak ...
Superb photography CM ...

Excellent documentary in this Huaiji series, very story telling scenes. There are still many people in China living in the dark and dirty places which contrasting very much to the big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. When this gap can be narrowed? Looking forward to seeing more...
