A girl working as a hostess at the China Nationalities Museum (the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park) in Bejing, still dressed in a traditional outfit but with a Western-style jacket on, walks away across a courtyard after the end of her shift. Taken on Oct. 20, 2006.
The China Nationalities Museum (the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park) is an anthropological museum as well as a complex to reconstruct, collect, display and study the ethnic cultures, histories and social life of the 56 nationalities in China. (Click here for more information.)
In case anyone’s wondering, the title of this post is from the song Superman’s Song, by the Crash Test Dummies.
