a rough start at life~[/caption]
In Qibao, and old area of Shanghai, is a neighborhood(if you can call it that) of green lanes. Confronting realities wait there behind each door and in front of some where young women prepare to sell themselves for a living. As much as this practice is as old as civilization itself, it remains heartbreaking to witness people's daughters going through this to survive. And most painful of all was seeing a little girl forced to grow up in that strange world of green lanes.

The focus of this black and white photo is really great.The action that the young woman did showed the theme of the photo. They had to sale themselves for a living which made people thinking.
Nice documentary or….. eeee…….yyyyyy…… just a street photo xD
Great shot!!!
What wil be that child’s future?

That is a strong and sad story your pictures are telling.
I hate the need for women to sell their bodies…..
Love them both but that first one is just so beautiful and striking. I wish I didn’t know the meaning behind them ….
Beautiful photo, as always. You’re such a talent. xo
