Wu Jiang, ChongQing, China (13_10b)

What is Life if compare to Nature...?

On my way going to GongTang, I passed this Wu River.
Please note the path on the rock, it is a path way of the "Boat Pullers" (Qian Fu) which they left their blood and sweat long time ago.
Now, due to the the building of Three Gorges Dam of the Yangtze River, the water level is high plus the advance of our modern boat, it is now not require the "Boat Pullers" to pull the boat to OPPOSE the flow of the water. Hence this occupation is now extinct....
