Vietnam - Elderly people earn a living in Hanoi

Everybody works to earn a living then when they reach a certain age they retire. However, some elderly people in the capital still have to work, despite old age and illness.  

These elderly people do almost everything from repairing bicycles

They must work from very early in the morning until late at night to get enough money to support themselves and their families, yet they always try to keep a warm smile on their faces despite their hardships.
