A child wearing 'kai dang ku,' or open crotch pants, runs to his mother along a sidewalk in Beijing, July 30, 2003. Rising incomes and more sophisticated lifestyles in Asia's fastest-growing economy have fueled the growing popularity of disposable diapers - a far less rustic alternative - in big cities. In Beijing, China's capital, bare baby bottoms are an increasingly rare sight - even on the sultry summer afternoons, when kai dang ku were almost a uniform for toddlers a few years ago.
