Shanghai Living


Looking at this picture is sadly overwelming. I can see that the family that lives in that small space feels suffocated. By what I see; their kitchen, bedroom and living room are in the same space. The family uses the top part of what might be a bunk bed, as their storage or closet. I can only imagine how hot it might get in there by looking at the two fans they have. It seems like to me that the woman's face screams out sorrow. While the man tries to seal his hopelessness with a smile. This is indeed very sad, it reminds me of how blessed I am to have a place that allows me to be and feel comfortable. Even though I have seen similar scenes before it still impacts me. All I can say is that instead of complaining about what we all don't have , we should be thankful for what we do have.
