This photo was taken in 2009 outside of a restaurant in Manzhouli, China. Donkey pulled carts are not uncommon in China, especially in smaller cities. Many vegetable deliveries are still carried out by local farmers who can't afford cars or delivery trucks and have no other option but a donkey cart. When the donkeys become too old to pull the cart, they are slaughtered and eaten, usually as stuffing for dumplings. Such is the life of the sad, poor beast of burden.
