EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Jianan Yu, we witness the unwavering dedication of a labourer at the Maanshan steel and iron factory in Hefei, Anhui province. The image transports us to January 21,2010, where amidst billowing smoke and towering machinery, this worker stands as a symbol of resilience and hard work. With his protective gear on and sweat glistening on his forehead, the labourer's focused expression tells a story of determination in the face of challenging circumstances. His hands firmly grip the tools of his trade as he skillfully navigates through an environment that demands both physical strength and mental fortitude. The Maanshan steel and iron factory serves as a backdrop for this snapshot into China's industrial landscape. It represents not only economic progress but also sheds light on the tireless efforts made by countless individuals who contribute to its success. This photograph is a testament to the unsung heroes who toil behind-the-scenes, often unnoticed but essential for society's functioning. It reminds us that progress comes with sacrifices made by these dedicated workers who keep our cities running smoothly. Jianan Yu's lens captures more than just an ordinary moment; it encapsulates an entire narrative within one frame – one that speaks volumes about human perseverance in pursuit of livelihoods. As we gaze upon this image, let us acknowledge their invaluable contributions while contemplating our own roles in supporting those whose labor shapes our world.
