Silent resistance against social pressures in China

For over half a year now, Du Min has grown into her new semi-routine: in the mornings, she sets up her artifacts shop—a rug spread on the sidewalk with some handmade wallets she only recently learned how to make—on the streets of Dali in Yunnan, China.
