EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the bustling markets of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during the 1910s. The image portrays a group of young Vietnamese children, dressed in simple clothing, carrying baskets filled with goods on their heads. These children, often referred to as 'coolies' or 'porters,' were a common sight in the markets of Saigon, where they worked long hours to help their families earn a living. The scene is filled with a sense of determination and resilience, as the children navigate the crowded marketplace with a focus and maturity beyond their years. The weight of the baskets on their heads, some of which appear to be quite heavy, is a testament to their strength and endurance. Despite the challenging circumstances, there is a sense of community and camaraderie among the children, as they work together to support one another and complete their tasks. The market, with its vibrant colors and bustling activity, serves as the backdrop to this poignant scene, highlighting the interconnectedness of the people and the economy of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of children in Vietnam during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the hardships and struggles faced by many, as well as the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
