EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of traditional waterfront life in Hong Kong during the 1980s. A man, dressed in simple clothing and barefoot, takes a moment's rest from his laborious work on a small sampan boat. He wears a classic straw coolie hat, a common accessory for boatmen and laborers in the region, shielding him from the sun. In one hand, he holds a cigarette, adding an air of relaxation to the scene. The sampan, a traditional Chinese wooden boat, is moored near the shore, its oars at the ready. The harbor, bustling with activity in the background, serves as a reminder of the man's role in the larger community. This image, taken in 1982, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique culture and daily life of the waterfront workers in Hong Kong.
