Life: Plain perseverance

Seventy years ago, a number of frustrated migrants dragging a heavy sadness and riding by train -- the new product of the industrial civilization, inadvertently set their foot near the residence of the royal family of the Golden Age of Tang Dynasty. They have become silent guardians of this land since. More and more people marginalized by the society gathered there to make a living.

Tomorrow will be better, they believe. Generations of people living in this region have worked hard in an attempt to remove the stigma of poverty and blindness on their head. Now, the rows upon rows of shanty towns, rusting locking tap, muddy roads in rainy days and the stink and crowded streets are gradually disappearing. The life pattern which hundreds of thousands of people have live for 70 years are being under re-deconstruction.
