End of a long day, Shanghai, China, 2006

A son of a street vendor is resting by his family's stand. When I saw this boy, my heart sank. He should be studying at school or playing with friends. Instead, he seems exhausted and overwhelmed. The burdens of life have already fallen on his young shoulders. They are heavy, and come too early for him.

****Exhaustion, vulnerability, indifference -- this image is rich in human values, Jen. The boy seems overwhelmed by what he sees and feels, and by what he will face for perhaps the rest of his life. A sobering image.

In context with your caption we can feel the depression and exhaustion of the young boy. Very impressiv story!

Wow! And the Steaming basket are bigger than him...strangest things grab us when we are looking at an image...he is so young to be working her and he is so young to be so tired...my favourite kind of image...the hard side of China. K
