Leung Kwong Kuen, 80, poses for a photo in a shared kitchen of a flat divided into “coffin” homes in Hong Kong, China, July 2, 2024. A retired former factory manager who lived in Mainland China before the COVID border closures, he has spent over four years in this tiny space, relying on social welfare. Leung describes the challenges of living with bed bugs and sharing the floor with over ten people, but expresses a Buddhist perspective of letting go of the past. He treasures a family heirloom chain passed down for generations and believes home is where family once was, despite being estranged from his children. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
