Enamel Bowls in Beijing

by Mallory Burnett

Cool early morning light falls through the misty air of a Beijing hutong, illuminating a narrow alleyway where the day’s labor is already underway. An elderly resident in a faded blue cotton jacket sorts through a stack of chipped enamel bowls on a low wooden crate, their bright red and white patterns stark against the grey brick walls. Nearby, a bicycle rack holds several pairs of yellow rain boots, their rubber surfaces slick with morning dew. A metal gate handle, tarnished but sturdy, catches the diffuse light as a neighbor walks past, wrapped in a thick wool scarf to ward off the chill.
