Joy of Childhood
Silver Award
In a lush country park in Hong Kong, sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled golden light as a group of primary school students play a variation of the classic "musical chairs" game. Each child places their hands on the shoulders of the classmate in front of them, running excitedly in circles like a happy little train. In the foreground, two parents stand hand in hand, forming an "archway," and the children, bending over and giggling, crawl one after another under their parents' arms. Just as the music abruptly stops, the photographer presses the shutter, the children instantly stop, and the parents reach out to catch their little ones. At that moment, the joy of childhood, the warmth of parent-child bonding, and the natural beauty of the Hong Kong countryside are all captured in this vibrant photograph.
