Construction site workers move heavy loads under the scorching sun. (Wen Wei Po)
As most of the Hong Kong residents remain asleep in the morning mist, the first lights illuminate the streets. Even amidst sudden downpours, workers continue to move through the corners of the city.
From the porters navigating narrow alleys at dawn to construction workers braving the scorching sun, and delivery riders cutting through the darkness with their bike lights, every effort tells a story.
These fleeting moments in urban corners are the most genuine footnotes of a civilized society. Beneath the shadows of skyscrapers, the sound of welding resonates; bent figures push mountains of cardboard.
Labor is not an abstract concept; it is the concrete act of bending, lifting, gazing, and rushing year after year.
On this Labor Day, let us pay tribute to all workers with images that capture their dedication and resilience.
