This photo captures the essence of traditional Beijing hutong life - an old man, an old bike and a red door. The warm sunset light illuminates the old man as he emerges from his red door framing by red couplets. Red is the symbol of good fortune and prosperity, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of this ancient city. The image is a celebration of the beauty of everyday life, and the resilience of the people who call this place home. It invites the viewer to contemplate the rich history and culture of Beijing.
