Predawn Beijing Metro Station Interior with Commuters and Steamy Chai in 1970s China

by Roberto Perkins

Inside a dimly lit underground Beijing metro station before dawn, the concrete walls show signs of wear and age. A few commuters stand near a ticket window, their faces illuminated by the harsh glow of overhead fluorescent lights. One person holds a steaming clay cup of masala chai, the steam rising visibly in the cool air. Another individual rests a mahlstick against a pillar while waiting. The quiet anticipation of the morning rush, with the distant rumble of an approaching train vibrating through the floor.
