Scaling and Scale

On the China Life Insurance Building, there were a few cleaners scaling windows during this cold but sunny winter day. Further away, the Bank of China Building and Shanghai Pearl TV Tower appear almost surreal when comparing against these workers. Some obtuse imagination for China's version: its prototype from the Indian epic Ramayana, later became an immensely beloved all time story for children and adults alike, a legendary manimal figure the Monkey God or Sun Wukong could be scaling these tall concrete towers. Spider Man, eat your heart out! Cos' Monkey God also flips, flies and do all kinds of monkey business.
