Boy Carrying a Bamboo Basket: a Microcosm of the History of Guiyang's Bamboo Basket

Aohe Canyon in Zhijin County is surrounded by mist-locked cliffs. Fifteen-year-old Ayong was carrying a basket on his back, which contained the last half bag of corn noodles. He stepped barefoot on the slippery "ladder to heaven" - an 800-step stone step carved out of the cliff. Behind him is the grandmother who is sleeping due to an epileptic seizure, and in front of her is the road of no return to the county town to find a way to survive.
