Xiao Bo, 60, prepares dinner in a shared kitchen of a flat divided for use by four families, in Hong Kong, China, July 9, 2024. Retired and living on government assistance, she has been in the flat for three years, choosing it because of the lower rent as she cannot afford other housing. She describes the space as small and inconvenient, with no special memories, only painful ones, but says it still feels like home because “your own kennel is better than a golden house.” REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
