Maths lesson, a photo from Yunnan, Sud

Photographer's Note

The primary school at the village of Ci Zhong; a very well behaved class learning their addition and subtraction.

I have grouped this photo under the theme of Schooling in Rural China.

Hi Chris,

very nice and interesting shot from a school! The children seem to be very interested in maths ...

Very strong photo, Chris.

This is China. This is Chinese reality. That's ain't Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen or Hong Kong... This is life of milions of people living outside big cities, who have to fight their way through life every single day...

I'm posting B&W version to the workshop. I hope you'll like it.

Best regards

Pawel

Hello Chris. A beautiful view of a school. Outstanding composes. The motive school is very interesting. One would see gladly still more pictures of it. Unfortunately one cannot see the children in the photo from the front or from the side. A picture series would be ideal therefore. In any case one: the photo is beautiful and well taken. Greeting, Wolfgang.

Hello Chris,
A very interesting photo, not so often seen on TE. Children in their daily life, doing their chores: learning! Here, no smiling children doing cute face to the photographer. No, just plain, ordinary life with its own beauty. And I love it!
The conversion of Pawel is very good. But I so much like the colors here. For me, it is the contrast that is interesting too: the old furniture, the decrepit walls, and the children of our time.
Much to like in this photo...
Claire

Hi Chris, great glimpse into the education system in rural China. Nice perspective shooting from behind, the aged effect on the walls really shout out how long this room has been around.

Just to let you know I really love the whole series. Where exactly in Yunnan in Ci Zhong? I'm also curious about how you got there, were you a tourist passing by, or was this part of your job?
