An elderly man from the ethnic Tai Lue community. He was driven from Funan to labor in the building of Jinghong 50 years ago. He has to spend the final years of his life living with his grandchild in an old village around the suburb, since it is the policy to blend the Chinese and native Tai Lue people. His son and daughter in law are working in the city and sending him the money. Jinghong, China. December 24, 2007.
