Near simatai.
My backpack was heavy, the Great Wall was great, and I wanted to take a sunset. My tripod properly installed, I waited as the sun goes down.

October 2009, near Simatai - China. I wanted to catch the sun setting over the Great Wall when I see the workers. They restore it.
One of this men approach and ask me about my work, so i ask him about his work.
He told me that the night is getting soon, so i have to go back fast. I asked him if i can find a room near this place to sleep. Kindly, this man invite me in his village.
In fact, he didnt want to accept me in his own home because he found it too poor for me (as he said). But near his house there is a woman who can accept a "laowei" like me.
He comes from the north, it is not his native village. He worked here for several months and he is eager to rejoin his family.
I asked him why he wears a suit. He answers that must always be well dressed when you're lucky to have a job.

The woman cooking an omelet, she speaks a little. She lives alone because her children no longer want to live in this house. This is not enough good for them. She hesitated to greet me, she finally accepts
Before sleeping, she shows me the bathroom, the toilets are a bit further.
She dishes on what it serves for cooking and heating the house.
It is morning and time for breakfast. The night was cool but the heater worked well.
