Pictures Of Old People: Old Man In China, Old Grandpa And Grandma In Vietnam.

On a visit to a Farmer's Market near the Temple of Heaven we saw the bearded man in these pictures of old people. He had arrived on a bike almost as old as his 87 years, but both were still going strong. Adding his image to the pictures of old people in Beijing was no problem, but he requested that copies be sent to him. From the pictures of old people it is difficult to assess their true age. Some will give a higher figure, some a lower one, not that it matters, for old people of whatever age are well respected in China.

Grandpa, in these pictures of old people, lived in the small country town of Nasam near the Vietnamese-Chinese border. A French speaking Vietnamese and a family friend of one of the boat people, returning to visit his home town of Langson. Grandma is also included in these pictures of old people. We arrived in Langson on Christmas Eve, and at a banquet, met family and friends celebrating the return of one of their own people.
