    Gold Winner in Life Style/Culture

The modernisation of old cities like Beijing meant pushing aside the past and reaching for a new and gleaming future of gated high-rises and clean-tiled subways. Shock and alienation may follow, but people find a way to adapt and make a city their own again. This series aims to capture that shift, shock, and recovery by people in Beijing.
