She's definitely a "fan" of the yuan. Communism or capitalism, this is what it's all about, the bottom line. Those fans are just a means to an end. Looks like she did all right.

And this, Tim, is what it all comes down to. The fans are traditional, and speak of elegance, promising the buyer a piece of "Chinese culture." Yet the reality is reflected in the salewoman's diffidence as she absentmindedly counts her take. Her sweater rises while her jeans retract -- her thoughts are a thousand miles away. You caught the decisive moment here -- a classic piece of street photography.
