Old men get a shave as demolition work goes on behind them

A set of photos showing a couple of elderly gentlemen getting lathered up and shaved in front of a demolition site in Nanchang has been making waves on the web. The men look completely at ease as they recline in their chairs, somehow paying no attention to the noisy machinery behind them.


“Six yuan total for a hair cut and shave”, the barber, surnamed Zhang, said in a NetEase News report. “I have been giving haircuts in this place for more than three years. Typically, I have a dozen customers everyday, most of whom are regulars”.


“Once the demolition in Old Town is complete, I’ll have to get myself a new job as well,” he added with smile. “Most of my regular customers have moved elsewhere and it’s getting pretty inconvenient for them to travel so far just for a haircut.”
