Qiaotou, China. May 1987

Google Translate is a little helpful with this sign in that there seems to be some mention of legal services or judicial bureau. Maybe these two boys are lawyers now. They would probably be nearly 40 years old in 2020.

 

P.S.

Since posting this, ObSwTr commented below with a proper translation of the sign which allowed me to put this photo in the correct context of location and date.

Shot in Qiaotou, a town near Wenzhou in eastern China.

Qiaotou has the distinction of being "the button capital of the world". A huge percentage of the buttons on the clothes we all wear are made in factories in Qiaotou.
