A woman and child cross the Mekong River by cable in northern Yunnan. Without the means to pay for the construction of a bridge, many communities must cross the torrential river by cable; a pulley running along cable wire. Slipping and falling into the river could mean death. A bridge further up the river is a six hour walk.
