Two boys walk alone a road in a 'urban village' in Kunming, Yunnan, China. Urban villages, or ChengZhongCun, are the villages surrounded by the city, as the cities develop so fast in China that they expand to the area where used to be villages. The household lived in the villages is not able to move out, therefore these villages stays in the cities and the people still live in a countryside-lifestyle. And the picture shows two boy hanging around, and also some other people's daily lives in the urban village.
