Blade Sharpener - Guangzhou China

[rpcrowe]

I spotted this gentleman plying his blade sharpening trade outside the Chen Family Shrine in Guangzhou, China. I saw very few remnants of the old "Mao Suit" which was once the uniform of virtually all Chinese and these were most often worn by older men. I would expect that China might have been very dull and drab when virtually everyone was wearing some version of the "Mao Suit".

There are many other images of beijing, Xi'an, Yangshuo, Guanxhou, Hangxhou and Hong Kong from my China trip on smugmug. Just access http://rpcrowe.smugmug.com/ and scroll down to my China galleries.
