This shot was taken by an English tourist during her visit to main land china. The baby girl was barely alive when the picture was taken. By the time the English tourist was able to bring the baby to authorities the baby died. The Chinese Athorites confiscated the film but she just put in a new roll of film in, so they took the new role.

As you can see, at least three pictures were taken, circling the baby as the shutter clicked. Would you have taken even one? I would not have, I'd have immediately dropped to my knees, torn off my shirt, and wrapped and cradled the little girl.

Therefore, I am suspicious of one of two things... either the authenticity of the pictures or the humanity of the photographer.

I have no love for the regime of the Red Chinese, and the sooner they follow Hitler and Stalin into their just reward, the better. However, the circumstances surrounding these pictures don't pass the smell test. Even if the picures are real, it's possible that three of the four Chinese shown didn't even see her. That can not be said of the photographer.

This same picture or one awfully similar was posted about a year ago, it was from the English Elle magazine, if I recall correctly. V's wife.

I share your suspicions and for the same reasons.
