Children Born with AIDS | Tencent “Living”
Ma Nuo—Tencent “Living”
It is rare to see children born with HIV/AIDS represented in Chinese media coverage, and the group is still marginalized in China. Photographer Ma Nuo sought to respectfully and creatively photograph some of these children. In these photos, we see seven-year-old Kunliang, who aspires to become a bus driver, playing with two apples, and 13-year-old Yijing, who dreams of becoming a singer. (Names have been changed to protect the children’s identities.) The photographer wrote in a postscript that he wanted “to show their hopes and dreams about life, just like any other children their age.”
