I'm quite sure this is a different child than the one in this image: http://www.pbase.com/mityam/image/93926399 But he does seem to have a similar attitude.

You should call the shot "One child, a step at a time."

For me he seems to be a symbol of the one-child generation in China, proprietarily stepping through history.

Yes, it is a delightful echo of that shot. You use scale incongruity well here -- the kid is small, the steps numerous. Yet he seems bent on climbing all of of them. The color contrast is also very effective.

Fascinating details of the "inside of the wall".
