CHINA. Beijing. December 1948. A mother huddles her baby close to her, hoping that her sign will bring help. A refugee in the big city. She has written "I am called Sun. My husband died of illness. We are strangers in this town. We have no means of existence. I am obliged to ask charity of those who have kind hearts".
This picture taken during Chinese Revolution shows how the people were suffering during the war and how their lives were affected which made this mother beg in the streets so that her children wouldnt go hungry. Henri Cartier liked to show the impact the war had on the public and how people of that particular country was suffering and war had no meaning shows how he believed in peace.
