Bulang family in Xishuangbanna

This is a photo of a Bulang family taken in a village in Xishuangbanna in Yunnan in 1993. It's a posed shot but I like it - It's one of my favourite photos from the time in China. We talked to various families in the village in their wooden houses raised off the ground and one woman told us she was planning to build a new house. She wanted a concrete one so the rain wouldn't come in. We took fruit (mango) to give to the children. The next day we saw the woman at the local market but she was a bit embarrassed about waving to us.
