(Xi’an, China)

Many old folks in China, who survived the Cultural Revolution, see themselves unable to fit into the modern world. Bell Tower and Drum Tower, stand awkwardly with rows and rows of shopping malls in the center of Xi’an City. Starbucks, McDonalds, and all the mega-sized advertisement boards which show the latest fashion and gadgets, display how fast and eager the Chinese are catching up with other developed nations. But back in the old alley, you will see these familiar eyes, gazing nowhere but the past, where the little red book seems closer than the I-pods or laptops.
