Boy in Deyang

I was in Deyang city, Sichuan Province to report on a school expansion project partially sponsored by Nanyang Technological University's alumni network in China about a week back. After the ceremony at the school (pictures to come), my group went to a streetside market to buy fruits back as souvenirs.

As the professors were busy stimulating the local economy, I spotted a cute little boy at one of the many fruit stalls lining the street.

My gosh! Such a cute little boy. He was apparently with his father, who was also busy buying fruits. And he didn't seem to mind the camera at all! So I continued taking a few shots of him.

That's him hugging his father's leg.

What's fascinating him to his right?

But my favourite shot was my last, after his father peeled an orange and gave it to him. Actually, it is my favourite shot for the entire trip, I think!

That was the last part of my trip. Soon after, we left on our minibus for the airport, where I filed my story for the day and took the flight home after a long trip. More to come...
