This elderly lady started crying right after I asked her permission to take a photo of her. The woman next to this lady explained to me that my kind offer reminded her the lonely life she has and her poor health condition. she has lost her sight and can barely hear me talk. She lives by herself in Nan Xun Village in China.
I capture this moment with my personal emotion attach to it. I gave her a hug and stayed with her until she felt better.
