EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Reinhard Krause in Beijing's city centre on a sunny autumn day, we witness the timeless tradition of Chinese people relying on bicycles as their primary mode of transportation. The scene showcases a bustling street filled with locals gracefully gliding through the vibrant cityscape, creating an enchanting symphony of movement and color. As the golden sunlight bathes the surroundings, it illuminates not only the physical beauty of Beijing but also symbolizes the resilience and adaptability ingrained in Chinese culture. Bicycles have long been an inseparable part of daily life for most Chinese citizens, embodying both practicality and sustainability. The significance of this image is further emphasized by staggering statistics - China produced a staggering 78 million bicycles last year alone, accounting for approximately one-third of global production. This remarkable figure highlights how deeply rooted cycling is within Chinese society and underscores its pivotal role in shaping urban mobility. Reinhard Krause masterfully captures this snapshot in time, immortalizing a quintessential aspect of Chinese heritage that continues to endure despite rapid modernization. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to that very moment when history intersects with contemporary life – where tradition meets progress under clear skies and amidst bustling streets.
