PHOTOS: The Faces of China

In China, during the major part of the day there is nothing more than endless trespassing faces, dense crowds and monotonous flows of traffic. Nevertheless, every coin has two sides, and the positive side of a highly populated country reveals itself within amazing human diversity. 

Cultural and historical charm surrounds us everywhere, but to notice it one needs to slow down and to escape from any burdening thoughts. A simple look around occasionally may unveil a new world of perception.

Musicians playing in parks and on the outskirts of town, street vendors, fortune tellers and regular representatives of older generations preserve elements of Chinese attributes seldom seen nowadays: traditional clothes, long beards, mysterious charm and, perhaps, a feeling of being lost in a rapidly developing city and changing society.

Every face has a story. Get to know it.
