EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1910s, as men in Tientsin, China (now Tianjin), bravely break through the thick ice on a frozen river to access the water below. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of this community during the harsh winter months, when access to water was a crucial concern. The men in the photograph work in unison, using long poles to break through the ice and create large holes. Once the ice has been breached, they carefully fill large sledges with water, which they will then transport to their homes and communities. The scene is one of hard work and determination, as the men bundle up against the cold to ensure their families have access to this essential resource. Tientsin, located in northern China, experiences freezing winters, making the task of accessing water a significant challenge. This photograph provides a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the Chinese people during this period in history. The image also offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the daily struggles and triumphs of life in a bygone era. The photograph, taken around 1911, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human condition and the ingenuity of people in the face of adversity. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of water and the lengths to which communities will go to secure this vital resource. This image is an invaluable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the daily life of a community during a time when access to water was a significant challenge.
