Cyclo drivers, were conceded low in society, They have now become a simple artifact of the past. However, undeveloped areas in China still use the cyclo to this day, However they are now slowly vanishing in big city’s today. Cyclo was important for transportation in the past decades in China, this cheap means of transport has provided a source of income for many of those unemployed as a result of the country’s reunification in Vietnam. While in china, it is due to the disparate development. The focus on the realities about bottom people and the past is connected with the humanism and individualism, where human thinking and actions were considered the most important. In the work, the drivers finally escaped and run into the mosquito net, which is the symbol of the unknown future, thus the author explored the risk and survival of human in modern society with the rapid development and extensions. Besides, I prefer the work itself is more connected to the idea of sublime, because of the impressive underwater scenes.
The languid motion and tough development of the rickshaw-like device at the bottom of the sea is such a gripping symbol for an entire nation discovering its identity after a half-century of political turmoil. With direct reference to the impact of the Vietnam War on his country, Nguyen-Hatsushiba's beautiful camerawork deconstructs the fate of those who are caught between old and new modes of existence. As the divers strain to hold their breath long enough to propel their vehicles a few feet farther, additional tension is created between graceful movement and precarious mortality.
Zene Holloway’s breathtaking underwater photographs. unlike the pure beauty of those photos, Nguyen-Hatsushiba's underwater project is much more thought-provoking, making us think about the past, the current and the future of human and country, where the author’s intentions is well realized.
