At sunset, local militia member Alimjan Halik shaves another villager’s beard. The village regulations do not “encourage” men to grow beards, so the people’s militia takes the lead and shaves [others]. Alimjan is very skilled and nearby men and children look to him for help.

夕阳下,当地民兵阿里木江·哈力克正在给另一位村民刮胡子。因为村里规定不鼓励男子蓄胡须,所以民兵往往起到带头作用,主动修剪胡须。阿里木江的手艺很好,附近的男子和小孩都会来找他帮忙。
