EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an old Chinese woman can be seen diligently tidying up a rope at the stern of a junk boat in a typhoon shelter in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The year is 1982, and the woman's weathered face bears the lines of a life lived close to the water. Her small, agile frame is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of those who have made their homes on the water in this bustling city. The junk, a traditional Chinese sailing vessel, is moored in the shelter, shielded from the destructive forces of the typhoon that rages outside. The storm's fury is hinted at by the turbulent waters and the ominous clouds looming in the background. The woman's focus is unwavering as she works, oblivious to the chaos around her. The scene is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the people of Hong Kong and the sea. For generations, they have lived on the water, fishing, trading, and transporting goods. The typhoon shelter, a man-made structure designed to protect boats during storms, is a testament to their ingenuity and resourcefulness. Despite the challenges of living in such a precarious environment, the old woman's determination and sense of purpose are evident. Her simple task of securing the rope is a symbol of the daily struggles and triumphs of those who call the water their home. The photograph captures a moment of quiet strength and resilience in the face of the elements, a moment that speaks to the enduring spirit of the people of Hong Kong.
