Light of Life A Grandmother’s Daily Ritual
In a humble home in Guizhou, an elderly grandmother sits by the hearth, tending to a small fire to boil water. The soft natural light filtering through the wooden lattice window illuminates her serene expression, casting deep shadows across the room. This moment captures the essence of rural life, filled with warmth, simplicity, and a profound sense of connection to tradition.
