EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1926, we are transported back in time to the bustling shores of Shankiwan, Hong Kong. The image showcases a typical fishing family standing proudly next to their boat, capturing the essence of daily life during that era. The father stands tall with his weathered face reflecting years of hard work on the river. He exudes strength and determination as he provides for his loved ones through his trade. The mother stands by his side, her gentle smile revealing her unwavering support for her husband's laborious efforts. Their children surround them, each one representing hope for a better future. The daughter gazes at the camera with curious eyes while clutching onto a small basket filled with fresh catches from their latest expedition. Meanwhile, the son looks up to his father with admiration and eagerness to follow in his footsteps someday. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the working class families who relied on fishing as their livelihoods during this period of history. It captures not only their poverty but also their resilience and unity amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but be moved by the dedication and sacrifice embodied within this humble fishing family. Their story is an integral part of China's rich cultural tapestry – one that deserves recognition and appreciation even today.
