Humans of China│人在中国（八十）

I work at a tourist centre making cloth and they pay me a hundred yuan each month. In my old age, my eyes are not as good as they were so I need to make sure I bring my glasses. I started to learn when I was about 15 and this year I am 77. My mum taught me and I tried to teach my kids but they didn’t learn well. It’s much easier than being a famer, being a farmer isn’t easy. There was no choice because if we didn’t grow the food we’d have nothing to eat. Even if I didn’t work here I would still wear these clothes and I also have a flat hat made of bamboo I don’t wear it all the time. I also used to have black teeth but the colour has since faded.
