The boat this young boy is carrying is called "Caballito deTotora". It is a kind of boat made with marsh reeds. Peruvian are using them for fishing for, maybe, thousands of years up to now. This boy has a lot of fun playing with his boat though he is struggling of keeping his sandals on his feet when he is walking in the sand with shallow water of the beach.
I was born in Beijing, China. Now I am living in Lima, Peru. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution(which lasted from1966-1976), my family was separated and sent to the provinces. My eldest sister was sent to a remote countryside village. She took care of the farmers as a "barefoot doctor". I borrowed medical books and copied the texts and sketched those bones, tissues, muscles and organs and sent them to her pages by pages for her to study.

Dear Mathilde, Thank you so much for your evaluation. I really appreciate your deep feelings and understanding of life. I am going to the airport for a trip to China very soon. Hope that it will inspire me for the new work to make you happy. Good luck for your work too, Mathilde.

Here is another wonderful moment captured and conveyed. It is very easy to imagine the motion of the boy struggling to walk in the sand and carrying his boat on his back.
