A 20-day-long exhibition by Li Dong, a photographer based in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, opened in Brussels, Belgium, on November 21. His collection, numbering 44 pieces in total, has attracted public attention to the lives of African migrants in Guangzhou.

Li, 47, entered Zhejiang University to study chemical engineering during the mid-1980s. After graduation, he designed industrial plants for domestic and foreign manufacturers until 2003. He then opened a company in Guangzhou. Five years later, Li turned his eye to social documentary photography. In 2013, he finished a series of photographs portraying the lives of African migrants inhabiting a 300-meter stretch of Baohanzhijie Road, close to several wholesale markets favored by African traders in Guangzhou.

His recent exhibition presents a microcosm of African migrants seeking their fortune in China. The exhibition had previously run in Paris, France, and Cologne, Germany.
