China Daily, March 14, 2011, 27.3 x 34.5 cm.

In page 20 is a photo of a worker painting the wall of a multi-storey building, but he is not cleaning the window as described by the newspaper’s caption. Sometimes he may do some cleaning work but he would call himself a painter. He has always loved to paint since he was little. Grown up in a village, he got no chance to study art. The only opportunity for him to make a living as a painter is this job. He would try different ways to make the flattest surface of paint and never had any accident. He would think a 20 m long stripe of paint is very beautiful.

第 20 版的一幅照片是一個工人正在一幢多層大 廈的外牆掃漆,而並非報章的圖註指為抹窗。雖 然他有時也會做清潔工作,但他都會自稱為油漆 工作者。他自小已喜愛塗畫,但在農村長大,沒 有機會唸藝術,唯一可以讓他以油塗為生的就只 有這份工作。他會以不同方法來塗出最平滑的漆 面,從沒發生過意外。他會覺得一道 20 米長的 平塗是非常漂亮的。
