On an afternoon stroll in today's very windy and cold streets of Shanghai with my friend Sabrina, we met these really sweet Shanghainese young men who most certainly have a story to tell. They loved the attention and the camera pointed at them and they carried on to pose, straighten their matching jackets, and smile shyly as I clicked away. Tufic later thought they reminded him of a Chinese version of the "Beatles" on their way to furnish their first set before a concert... Whatever their story is, they were totally charming in their shy giggly way.

Ha ha – love it!
This is a timeless photo. I love this, it’s just perfect, I sincerely mean that. I wish I had witnessed this in person.
Nice Human,,, you get the picture at the right moment … wow, I want to go to China …
That’s what I thought when seeing the picture. The Beatles! But it was due to your way of coloring it. Very nice shot!
🙂 thanks Bernd! Shanghai misses you!
love the feeling of this image – I see what you mean about Chinese “Beatles” – they are very cute.
Thanks Sheila! It was a very sweet street moment!
