Description: This is a photograph of a boy "among the rocks, chewing away on a twig. The two rings on right hand and one ring on left foot is superstitious. The large ring around his neck proves that he lives most of the time on the sampan, easy to be saved if he falls into the water by grapping the large ring on his neck."
