Another day, another xoB/WaPo image. The official cap says
Qian Hongyan, 8, crawls with two home-made props and part of a basketball at Zhuangxia Village in Yannan Province, China. The girl lost both of her legs in a traffic accident in 2000 at the age of three.
"This is kind of a downer depending on point of view," xoB says. Yup. It's sad that it happened; it's sad she doesn't have a better way to get around. But she looks well, doesn't she? Kind of a strange contrast between her well-kept face, dressed hair and clean, nice clothing, and her rudimentary means of getting around.
