Village Men in Beijing

Beijing becomes a land of very poor and very rich. Many construction projects absorbed huge amount of resources from countryside. People left their villages to city for a better wage and life. After a few years of city life, it becomes harder for them to get back to the fields. There are many land deserted..

Great capture. Sad that people have left the land for the city. I know where I'd rather be.

Great shot, which tells a story.

Interesting photo. They look like hard working men. I love the three wheeled bike-trailer thing they're riding on!

Very intriguing photo -- their transportation and the hardhats together make this so interesting!
