This is People's Park, Shanghai. During the Concessions it was the race course, the ultimate symbol of burgoise extravagence. It was reclaimed for the people. What an irony. This image is striking for me because this man is not begging in his posture, he is doing more than that. He bows his head almost in submission to his fate, and his fate is being fulfilled. He represents the forgotten in China's evolution, he simply does not seem to exist.
