Lazy Man in China
New washing, old cycling, Huzhou 1986 In the early eighties Chinese aspired to the four things that go round — a bicycle, a watch, a fan and a sewing machine. By the late eighties they dreamt of the four big things — a washing machine, a refrigerator, a cassette recorder and a television set. Now they lust for the four luxuries — an apartment, a car, private education and overseas travel — and perhaps a pet pooch and a concubine too. (John Martin)
