Akong Ho, 69, has spent his golden years struggling to survive on his own. Recently, his hope for a simple meal vanished in an instant. The $3 he earned selling balloons at a busy intersection turned out to be counterfeit, leaving him with nothing. For two days, he had worked tirelessly under the hot sun, calling out to passersby, only to be cheated and left empty-handed.
Once strong and independent, Akong Ho spent his life working as a tire repairman. Now, he spends his days selling balloons to strangers, hoping to earn just enough for a meal. On a good day, he may make only $2, which must stretch to cover both food and a tiny space to stay. Often, he goes without, surviving on instant noodles and borrowing from local shops just to fill his empty stomach.
Despite his perseverance, his efforts are frequently rejected. Shops refuse to trade or accept his balloons, leaving him hungry, alone, and exhausted. Each day is a battle against hunger, cold, and loneliness, and every step is a reminder of how fragile life can be without support.
