Living in awful conditions, these animals spend there days entertaining tourists who seem oblivious to the animals' plight and squalid existence. 2008.

Beijing’s residents have been waiting for this promised change for years and are still waiting, asking the question “Where’s the new Beijing?!”. 2008
