Walking around Beijing street,
sometimes you would found this kind of people,
who was unemployed by factory
and had to go out selling
newspeper for earning some money to over new year.

He certainly looks neglected and your photo shows a lot of sympathy for him; your tender framing is contrasted against the curious look of the person behind the door on the left-- looking, knowing but not wanting to be involved.

I think a person on the right walking past completely ignoring your newspaper seller would round the picture out and justify putting him in the dead centre of the frame, it feels slightly unbalanced, compositionally.

一些地方光露出太多，
可我看人家生活，人生，有很多区别的。
左边男人要看到街上，找什么事，
右边走路的人跟这个老人根本没有关系的样子，
诶，各人都有各人的生活，都不一样的！
我们都很有意思，啊！哈哈哈

Hi Mingfang! good shot of this newspaper salesman. the colors look good and the composition is nice. the man looks like he has a hard life... outside walking in the cold weather.

Hi Mingfang,
Another very characteristic, tender Beijing shot from you... I do love your vision, the soul that enters into and radiates from your photos... this is no exception. An excellent capture of an unemployed man trying to make ends meet on the street, with a look that is filled with anguish.
A wonderful capture
