EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young Chinese woman in a straw sunhat tenderly waters a row of vibrant flowers outside the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The year is 1982, and the peaceful scene exudes a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. The woman, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, wears a cool expression as she carefully pours water from a large can into the pots, each one brimming with a riot of colors - oranges, reds, and other warm hues. The monastery, a spiritual beacon for Buddhists and tourists alike, is nestled in the background, its intricate architecture and golden roofs peeking out from behind the lush foliage. The woman's labor of love is a testament to the importance of care and nurturing, both for the monastery's gardens and for the soul. The image captures a moment in time, a snapshot of daily life on Lantau Island, and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Hong Kong. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and authenticity, is a treasure for anyone interested in the history and people of Hong Kong.
