Meanwhile, in Beijing…
Xue Guangxi and Kang Sola strolled lazily along the busy Wangfujing Street. It was currently in January.
They were out on a trip to accomplish a task that was given in their Sociology 53 class. Earlier they visited the National Art Museum and toured inside, together with their other classmates. Now, they were out observing how people act in the busiest street of Beijing while they each suck into their ice-cold chocolate-coated popsicles. Their cameras each hung on their necks across their chests.
It was three in the afternoon. People from different walks of life intersected paths with no one in particular as they moved from one place to another.
Xue Guangxi and Kang Sola seated themselves in a nearby bench as they finished their popsicles. It was freezing in Beijing but they preferred to fight cold with cold.
