Description
This is a photograph of an elderly man begging for food and money. "[Mr. Feng] has already had some success in begging food as you may notice by looking at his basket. But late on this particular day-twas near sunset-he decided to come to see us anyway in hopes that we might give him a little money." Mr. Feng walks with a pole and carries a basket of food.
