EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a busy street in Cholon, the Chinese district of Ho Chi Minh City (then known as Saigon), in the 1920s. The image focuses on an itinerant confectionery seller, squatting on the pavement and offering his wares to passersby. The vendor, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, skillfully balances a large basket filled with various sweets on his lap. Among the colorful assortment are steamed rice cakes, sesame seeds, and sticky rice dumplings, but the most intriguing item is the golden, steaming hot yolk cakes, which are being offered to a curious child. The bustling atmosphere of Cholon is reflected in the background, with people and bicycles moving in all directions, creating a sense of energy and excitement. The narrow street is lined with shops and market stalls, selling a variety of goods, from textiles and spices to fresh produce. The vibrant colors, textures, and sounds of the district come alive in this photograph, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Cholon and the vibrant street life that has long defined Ho Chi Minh City. The seller's dedication to his craft and the joy on the child's face as he samples the sweet treat serve as a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the most unexpected places.
