EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Bobby Yip, we witness a surprising encounter in the heart of Hong Kong. A snake, seeking refuge from the bustling city streets, retreats into an unexpected hiding spot - a drawer at a store selling snake soup. The image was taken on January 15,2004. For centuries, Chinese culture has embraced snakes as both a culinary delicacy and a source of health benefits. This photograph offers us a glimpse into this longstanding tradition that continues to thrive in modern-day Hong Kong. The contrast between the sleek serpent and the mundane setting creates an intriguing visual narrative. As the snake slithers into the drawer's depths, it seems to symbolize nature's resilience amidst urbanization and human consumption. Yip's skillful composition draws our attention to every detail: from the intricate patterns on the reptile's skin to its graceful movement. The lighting casts shadows that add depth and mystery to this extraordinary moment frozen in time. This thought-provoking image reminds us of humanity's complex relationship with animals and how cultural practices can shape our perception of them. It serves as a reminder that even within bustling metropolises like Hong Kong, traces of ancient traditions can still be found if one knows where to look.
