Different lives and loves, Shanghai, China, 2005

Two couples from different generations sit back to back, each in their own separate worlds. They would never understand each other. They embody different lives and loves. The older couple would find it difficult to acknowledge the presence of the young couple physically expressing their feelings on the wall behind them. Their own marriage might have even been arranged for them, a marriage that is more like a life long obligation -- a duty to be fulfilled. And that is exactly what they seem to be doing here.

The passage of time does not heal Jen...that is what this says..People love and hate, and in the end despite it all they end up bearing grudges, because they are only human. Good and bad...they are everywhere, and those steps...they are the stairs of life. K
