Shirtless lion dance performers playing poker
The photo captures a scorching afternoon, with a group of shirtless lion dance performers crowded in an old, run-down house, playing poker and drinking cold beer. The house, long overdue for demolition and redevelopment by the government, is a remnant of the past. Lion dancing, a traditional Chinese acrobatic art, is slowly fading, once thriving in the Guangdong region.
