A group of young souvenir vendors attempt to sell their wares to passengers on every Li riverboat. Success is rare, and the physical risks are high. The big boats are in constant motion, and the fragile rafts, lashed to their sides, seem to be at considerable risk. The image is rich in incongruity – one does not normally find people taking such risks for a few cents of profit. My vantage point was able to encompass three levels of activity here – the fellow at left appears quite casual and confident in his approach, the man in the middle stabilizes the moving raft, while the three vendors at the far right energize the image with their frantic gestures.
