Photo of the day
四五的记忆(1976—2006)
Courtesy of Joseph Bosco, which explains the significance of this moment (the mass mourning for Zhou Enlai in 1976). I know someone who was there, although I certainly can’t tell if he’s in this picture. -

My argument is that for most of human history, in tribal life, village life, or farm life, it was common to be able to watch people do their daily work. Kids who grew up on a farm, for example, saw the whole picture — animal husbandry, equipment maintenance, finance. They understood more about work than kids who only saw dad go to the office, do nobody knew what, and return at the end of the day.
