The photo on the background was taking at 50-60's of Hong Kong, average family cannot afford to buy new books or toys, there are shops at the streets where they can share the books.
Today, our children has lots of toys, they don't need to worry about food but are they happy? Do they know the joy of sharing?
This photo was taken on December 3, 2006 in Pak Tin, New Territories, HK, using a Canon EOS 5D.

they know the joy of sharing if they were taught something about it. here in the usa most of kids have 100x more toys than they would ever need, but most of parents are way too busy to talk to them...
lovely idea for a shot. I love your whole photostream, by the way :-)
