"116" tells a story of a lonely man travelling by bus in one of the most
polluted cities in the world - Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. His reflection may
resemble a portrait of an unknown dictator but the man himself was not
posing, as he was shot candidly. We can also see two bikers there, which is
so typical of Chinese streets (bicycles are the most popular means of
transportation there).
