Tire shop storefront at night with glowing signage.

Under the faded signage of large Chinese calligraphy characters, a solitary elderly man sits amidst the clutter of his trade on Yu Chau Street in Sham Shui Po. Illuminated by the stark, bright glow of a "Maxxis" tire lightbox, the small shop is packed floor-to-ceiling with rubber tires, contrasting sharply with the surrounding darkness of the quiet neighborhood.
