Streetlamp Number Eight
by Cao Wenxuan
Description
Perched over a green-tiled street, streetlamp number eight watches life as it is plays out on the street below, as if with a pair of attentive eyes. Old codgers, dogs, aged women...they come and go, back and forth. The story is like a stage play, with the street light illuminating the vicissitudes of life.
