Lady and commuters sharring handhold in Chinese subway

Shared space within the Chinese subway. Never has humanity been so close, and perhaps unaware of itself as inside the subway. China, communism.. Communism is a big word, concept and theory. However there is a part of that word, commune, which embodies the idea of the human race living together peacefully as a sort of family. In China strangers will address each other as brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandfather, etc. . Fundamentals of communism within China can be debated elsewhere, however what occurs on the subway is a raw form of humanity, so close and yet so unaware and unrelenting. Have you ever seen a family meeting where every child stands near their mother or father and not once says hello or offers a hug of affection? These family reunions happen daily in each subway car. Within the tight subway space, in-between every stop people become so close, yet so far. As individual daily goals of being good producers and consumers ar striven for, the structure of humanity remains, like an empty undeveloped buildings concrete shell. Growing so fast, close, and yet far apart; what will humanities ultimately fate develop into?
