The image is a black and white photograph of a young child, probably around 2-3 years old, walking down a narrow alleyway. The child is wearing a sleeveless dress and is holding onto a wooden stick that is leaning against a brick wall. The alleyway appears to be old and dilapidated, with peeling paint and debris scattered on the ground. In the background, there is a woman walking past a doorway with Chinese characters on it. The overall mood of the image is one of poverty and neglect.
