Fisherman's friend










This is a bronze fisherman at the ground floor of the building where Tanja works on Nanjing West Road in the centre of Shanghai. Whenever we meet her at lunchtime or after work, the kids usually grativate towards this old man. Max was once chased by a Chinese guard for swinging on the fishing rod. There are giant live koi fish (like goldfish) swimming in the pond. Koi fish symbolise success in Chinese tradition.
