EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a hauntingly deserted Tiananmen Square, as seen from the iconic Tiananmen Gate in Beijing. Taken on May 1,2003, during the height of the deadly SARS virus outbreak, this image portrays an eerie stillness that contrasts with the square's usual bustling atmosphere. The world's largest public square stands empty and devoid of its usual crowds of tourists and locals who have chosen to stay away from public spaces due to fears surrounding the contagious disease. The vast emptiness depicted in this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that global health crises can have on our daily lives. It symbolizes both caution and resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how quickly our world can change and adapt to unforeseen circumstances. No rights clearances or permissions are required for this poignant image captured by Guang Niu for Reuters Images. Through his lens, Niu has masterfully encapsulated a moment in history when fear gripped society but also showcased humanity's ability to unite against common threats. This photograph not only documents an extraordinary event but also invites us to reflect on our collective experiences during challenging times – reminding us that even amidst desolation, hope endures.
