EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sean Yong, we witness the remarkable determination and fearlessness of a labourer as he walks on a steel frame at a bustling construction site in Nanjing, China. The image encapsulates the essence of hard work and resilience that is often associated with the labor force. The composition of the photograph is striking, with the towering steel structure dominating the background while our subject confidently strides along its narrow beams. His silhouette against the sky creates a sense of awe and admiration for his courage to navigate such heights. Taken in October 2006, during a time when China's economic growth was rapidly expanding, this image serves as a visual representation of progress and development. It symbolizes not only physical construction but also embodies aspirations for better infrastructure and improved living standards. Deputy central bank governor Wu Xiaoling's statement about Chinese interest rates adds an interesting context to this photo. It highlights how economic developments play an integral role in shaping policy decisions. However, amidst potential changes, it appears unlikely that there will be significant shifts in monetary policies. Overall, Sean Yong's photograph captures both the strength and fragility inherent in human endeavor. It invites us to reflect on our own determination while marveling at those who build foundations for progress with unwavering dedication.
