Grandfather Reads to Child in Chengdu Workshop
Pale morning light bounces off rough concrete walls inside a busy workshop in Chengdu, illuminating an older man with silver hair sitting on a wooden crate. He holds an open book while a young child leans in with intense focus. Condensation beads along the edge of a nearby glass pane on a workbench tool case, signaling the cool air. Autumn leaves in shades of burnt orange and deep red have drifted inside, scattering across the dusty floorboards near their feet. The grandfather wears a faded blue jacket, and the child grips a colorful toy airplane beside him. Dust motes hang suspended in the beams of light that cut across the cluttered workspace, highlighting the texture of worn wood and the fine print on the book pages. A steel wrench rests on the table, its metal surface reflecting the soft, diffuse glow of the early day.
