Zheng is 70 years old and moved to NYC 2 years ago from China. Her daughter provided this information as Zheng speaks no English. When I saw Zheng I pointed to my camera to see if she’d be willing to let me take her picture. I love that her immediate response was to smile and give me the peace sign.
