One of the million small people in China, Li Qing, 1.25 meters high, is cycling around the country to realize his dream to be a towering hero in his son’s heart. Having been diagnosed with dwarfism when he was young, Li suffered a difficult childhood, surrounded by malicious mocking and sneering. However, his plan to cycle around the country has won him reverence in public. [Photo / China News Service]

Li communicates with the small people in the shadow play troupe. After marrying his wife, who is 1.70 meters tall, Li has his own child. The uneasy looks cast on him in the past 30 years have pained Li. [Photo / China News Service]

Li also calls for people of normal height to squat so that he can take a photo with them at the same height. Those photos have become a symbol of Li’s efforts to eliminate discrimination against small people. According to Li, tiny people can also make a contribution to society. [Photo / China News Service]

As a spectator, Li follows the performance of the small people’s shadow play. Li’s son once cried to him that he didn’t want Li to send him to kindergarten because he could no longer withstand the jokes made by his classmates, who teased the boy that his father had not even reached his height.

Shenzhen Special Economic Zone celebrates its 35th birthday

A series of aerial shots of the city of Shenzhen was taken to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (SEZs) in South China's Guangdong province on August 25, 2015.

35 years ago, Shenzhen was an unknown little fishing village adjacent to Hong Kong. The transformation is incredible.
