Lijiang smiles

Lijiang smiles: My two years in China culminated in a trip through Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. In Yunnan, the famous Lijiang village, home to the Naxi minority is a tourist haven, but also a stunning example of theChinese heritage and scenery. I met this woodcutter outside his one room house and chatted with him briefly. Though his local accent was strong, we could still converse in Mandarin and his pleasure at finding a Laowai (foreigner) who could speak Chinese brought this broad grin to his face. He was very happy for me to take some photos and invited me into his house for dinner. The 50mm f/1.8 prime lens is very simple, but wonderful for portraiture, giving the very shallow depth of focus.

The smile of yellow teach, the wincing skin of old age, adds a certain character of chinese. 
There is somehow the writing is all over his face that he has found happiness.
