this picture portrays Chinese premier Wen Jiabao consoled a child whose parents had died because of a earthquake happened last year in the west of China. the child was crying, and the premier had his arm around the child's shoulder; his face showed pity. There is a mirror behind these two people that reflected a flash from photographer and some people stood in front of the premier and the child, so it is obvious that this photo was not originally designed but was opportunely shot. This photo is sentimentalized. The photographer chose these guys to represent three groups of people: the child is the representative of people who lost their families and wealth felt desperate at that time; the premier represented the central government that will rescue the sufferers and give them hope and support; the people who stood in front of the child and the premier represented the mass common people who would give the suffer favors to help them. I can understand how painful the child was because he had lost his family. Also, I understand the central government will help the people like this child who had suffered disasters from the earthquake. This photo showed a hope that China had courage and confidence to rebuild it's land.
