The Wider Image: Hong Kong struggles to improve conditions in

Sum, 72, poses for a photo at his “coffin” home in Hong Kong, China, August 15, 2024. Paying 2,500 HKD in rent, he has lived there for almost three years after being recommended by the Salvation Army. A former homeless individual who once slept under a flyover for a year, Sum values the safety and quiet of his current space, describing it as a basic but essential shelter where he can live peacefully.
