EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Claro Cortes, delegates are seen crossing the street after a significant plenary session of the National People's Congress at the iconic Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The image, taken on March 11,2007, perfectly encapsulates the essence and energy surrounding China's political landscape. As they stride purposefully across the bustling street, these delegates symbolize power and determination. Dressed in formal attire, their expressions reveal a mix of seriousness and contemplation as they navigate through an ever-changing world. Each delegate represents a unique perspective and carries immense responsibility for shaping policies that will impact millions of lives. The composition is strikingly framed against the backdrop of Beijing's urban landscape. The towering buildings serve as a reminder of China's rapid modernization while also highlighting its rich historical heritage. The juxtaposition between tradition and progress is palpable in this photograph. Claro Cortes skillfully captures both movement and stillness within this single frame. As if frozen in time amidst their busy schedules, these delegates momentarily pause to cross paths with one another - perhaps engaging in brief conversations or exchanging ideas before continuing on their individual journeys. This print serves as a powerful testament to democracy in action; it reminds us that behind every decision made by those who govern lies countless hours of debate, negotiation, and collaboration among dedicated individuals striving towards progress for their nation.
