CHINOIS
Beijing: so many, many people… so many, many bicycles… oh so many. One man, one woman, two wheels, three wheels, a hunched back.
Flashed as they make their way down the street for reasons of excessive baggage, they are perhaps the purest expression of a surging economy, its most human face.
But are they the China of yesterday, today, or tomorrow?
CHINOIS
Pékin, des tas, des tas de gens, de vélos, des tas de tas. Un homme, une femme, deux roues, trois roues, un dos courbé.
Flashés au détour d’une rue pour cause de surcharge, ils sont la plus simple expression d’une économie en marche, son aspect le plus humain.
Ils sont la Chine, d’hier, d’aujourd’hui, de demain ?
