A man, with a baby in his arms, looks at a wall decorated with an
abacus in Huizhou County, east China's Anhui Province July 17, 2006. A special
calculating tool in ancient China, the abacus has gradually faded away from
people's life at a time when computers prevailed. In Huizhou, however,abacuses
can still be found almost everywhere. [Xinhua]
