While Wang Shi drove Suyin, she kept looking out of the window with her eager interest to know where he had been taking her to. After a short drive of forty minutes and navigating their way through dirty alleys, he pulled over at a decrepit residential area.
It was downtown, where the city's poorest lives. Smelly, disorderly, broken houses with wires hovering over, and puddles everywhere.
Wang Shi opened his tab and glanced at her. She had been looking out the window at the poor people and kids doing their daily chores. Understanding her mood, he gently touched her chin, "We have our limitations. No matter how much we try or question ourselves, we cannot help everyone in this world."
"I know, it's just—" she sighed, "—leave it. Tell me, why are we here?"
"Look at this video."
By now Suyin had seen many videos as collected by Daiyu and Xiu Mei. This one was no different.
