EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Darley Shen, a monkey trainer is seen tenderly touching the head of a sick monkey as it receives treatment in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. The photograph was taken on February 4,2016. The photo portrays an intimate moment between man and animal, highlighting the bond that can exist even in difficult circumstances. The trainer's hand gently rests on the monkey's head, conveying care and compassion. Both figures are silhouetted against the backdrop of an open-air environment, emphasizing their connection to nature. This image captures not only the physical aspect of medical treatment but also hints at emotional support and therapy provided by human interaction. The depth of field adds a sense of focus to this particular moment amidst a wider context. Wuhan has gained global attention due to its association with the COVID-19 pandemic; however, this photograph reminds us that there is more to this city than just its recent challenges. It showcases humanity's dedication towards caring for animals and highlights our interconnectedness with wildlife. Darley Shen's skillful composition invites viewers to reflect on our responsibility towards both animals and each other during times of illness or distress. This snapshot serves as a reminder that empathy knows no boundaries – be it species or geography – when extending kindness and healing touch.
