A scene at a bus station on May Day

Unknown



They are looking for empty bottles in a trash area. So, I quickly emptied the bottle in my hand and gave it to them.


They looked prety happy.


They took their bags to another destination.


I felt mercy when I watched their little bodies and big bags.


Is this their May Day holiday?


Finally, I followed them.


They arrived at another trash area and continued finding empty bottles.


The boy


The girl


Naive?


What did you see?


Tried to talk to them. So we moved to a shaded area.


Her eyes.


Her hands.


It was hot, but the boy said he was not thirsty.


I told them not to go but wait for me.


I went to a nearby shop and came back. They were still there.








Watching them to eat icecream, I fely happy for them.





She smiled
without previous timidity...
Children should be happy by their nature...





While they were eating, we started out conversation.


They were brother and sister. The brother was 10 years old, the third grade, the sister was 9 years old, the second grade. Their mother passed away. Due to poor condition, they dropped from school and came to Beijing with their father. They just started their life of finding empty bottles.

Q: Where is your daddy?
A: Delivering bottles.
Q: When is he coming back?
A: Don't know.
Q: Do you just look for bottle in this area?
A: Some other areas too.
Q: Can you daddy find you?
A: Yes.
Q: Want school?
They smiled but didn't answer me.
