Synopsis
The Chinese believe an unseen red thread joins those in this life who are destined to connect. For photographer Richard Bowen, that thread led him to China's state-run welfare institutions, where there are thousands of children, primarily girls, growing up without families to take care of them., The Chinese believe an unseen red thread joins those in this life who are destined to connect. For photographer Richard Bowen, that thread led him to China's state-run welfare institutions, where there are thousands of children, primarily girls, growing up without families to take care of them. Mei Mei presents a poignant glimpse of just a few of these remarkable children. Composed against neutral backgrounds, these portraits capture the girls inner lives, away from their often bleak surroundings. The images show an almost endless range of expressions: small faces filled with longing and hope, joy and sadness, humor and mischief, defiance and despair. Through the camera's eye these young children are no longer orphans, but individuals whose personalities are as vital, distinct, and beautiful as any mother's child. When that unique human being comes into focus, the connection is made and the red thread becomes visible. And once seen, the bond can never be broken.

    This seller truly loves books and cares about his customers!! This book was exactly as described, very thoughtfully packaged to protect it during shipping, immediately tendered to the post office, and arrived 3 days earlier than the estimate. Thank you so much!! This is an early birthday present for my train-loving husband. One of the John Armstrong books he doesn't already have. I highly & completely recommend Grandpa McGee 100%.

    This is actually a clever request for donations

    The photos are posed and some are lovely but this is a way to get you emotionally involved and if you follow the link you will find it is an appeal for donations. A clever fundraiser. Dissapointed.
