[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Knife, to people living in Xinjiang, just like food and drinking water, is an necessity more widely used than any other places in China, here almost everyone is carrying a knife in different shapes and patterns around their waists, and of couse, this will not cause any attention from the police.

An old occupation with modern mobility: Knife Repairing on Bicycle, finds its right market here, the old man uses bicycle's chain to drive the the spinning wheel and sharpen the tools.
