EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the simple yet profound moment of a young Vietnamese boy enjoying his meal during the French occupation of Vietnam in the 1910s. The boy, dressed in traditional Vietnamese clothing, sits cross-legged on a mat, focused intently on the bowl of steaming rice before him. In his hands, he holds a pair of chopsticks, skillfully maneuvering them to scoop up each mouthful. The bowl, adorned with intricate designs, adds a touch of elegance to the scene, while the plain, woven mat beneath him grounds the image in the rustic reality of rural life. The boy's expression is one of deep concentration, as he savors each bite of rice, oblivious to the world around him. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Vietnamese child during a time of great political and social change. Despite the backdrop of colonial rule, the boy's connection to his culture and traditions is evident in this intimate and poignant moment.
