Chinese Man 2 features a Chinese man looking in his middle age, conventionally between the age of 45 to 65. He is striding purposefully, obviously outdoor, but where to, maybe for a yamcha (having a drink) with his buddies at his favourite kopitiam, or to buy something, or for a game of mahjong, or he may just be a loner strolling aimlessly and looking at nothing in particular. But in his side profile, he seems a mite testy or is naturally grumpy. While not sociologically bent, Gan Tee Sheng is interested in what he describes as “human emotional expression, particularly those repressed feelings and thoughts.”
