Many people all over China are not going back to their homes tonight, instead they are spending the night outside, like these scenes inside Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing. Humid temperters and mosquitoes have not scared people away. In one photo you can see someone has put up a mosquito net to keep away the pests while others set up mosquito repelling coils. As the people pass the time outside one old lady walks amoung them collecting bits of plastic that she can sell at the local recycling department.
