R & paintings - a game of mahjong.

The old, battered, pitted the time the wall - a portrait:

Portrait seems strangely familiar, we have seen him many times, and it really shows us all the famous people, but his face is fused together three people - Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong,. A person in the portrait - an alloy of three Chinese states of the twentieth century. This is their "sum".

Knuckles on the table stood a wall, causing quite invincible association with the Great Wall in China.

Behind the play - the Strait of Taiwan lies behind it, is not just an island, it is also China, part of it, where Taiwan, gathering clouds, but it leads protruding from the water stones to Taiwan you can reach, stepping from stone to stone step by step, making one step at a time.

The girl on the left explicitly wins:

She already anticipates the victory. She is not distracted, she concentrated, she would - in the game. This girl - Western companies rushing into China, they do not understand China so they have to compensate for his ignorance and misunderstanding, keep each other and combine efforts. They are concentrated and they are - patient.

The girl, whom we see from the back - this is Japan:

She has three knuckles on his hands "east", the combination, symbolizing the irresistible reality, hursh reality, what the Europeans call "Rock", but she did not give up, she even tries to cheat and cheat the very fact tells us that the winner of this game will all.

The girl in the center is China itself.

Her features suggest that it is not quite clear the blood, it means a mixture of "tradition" and "market reform" in modern China, she is well dressed (as a result of "reforms") and she looks toward the light source, ie, - in the future. It is not very keen on the Game Playing her sick, her attention attracted by the world outside the "mahjong", ie "the market".

Next to it - a foreigner. It's - Russia. She could not dial the right to continue the game of dominoes, and though The game continues, Russia, leaning back, looking blankly at the ceiling, for it was all over, she had already left the Games, she lost.

It should be understood yet and that says a lot about the very location of the playful, Russia initially chose a bad place, "unhappy", she sat down to play face to the wall. In this sense, sitting back against the wall conditional West are facing the same direction, which looks to China, he also directed in the future.

Right - a village girl, she came to town in search of work, she still can not play, she looks the part, she learns to "Mahjong". She remembers the rules of the game. Between the table at which it is game, and - space, girl, this "peasant world ', maintains the distance, she has not yet decided whether it will play.

Her hands are busy not with the knuckles, she holds a dish of fruit, a play of the game, but life - life, and a girl - the food, "food", she then, without which it can not do to anyone, including the players.

And in her hands what no more no one in the picture in her hands - a knife.
