1. Title: A Historical Moment at the Borderland of Vietnam and China: The Tunghing/Moncay Crossing, Circa 1910s This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a significant moment in history at the borderland between Vietnam and China, specifically at the Tunghing/Moncay crossing in the northern regions of Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, and Dongxing city in the Guangxi Autonomous Region of China. The image, taken circa 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past when the two nations shared a more porous border. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of activity along the riverbank, with Vietnamese and Chinese people engaging in trade and commerce. The Vietnamese, dressed in traditional attire, are seen loading and unloading goods from boats, while their Chinese counterparts are busy bartering and haggling over prices. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of various boats, both large and small, that crisscross the river, connecting the two shores. The Tunghing/Moncay crossing was a vital trade route between the two nations, with goods such as rice, tea, silk, and other commodities exchanged. This historical photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural and economic ties that existed between Vietnam and China long before the establishment of formal borders. The borderlands between Vietnam and China have a complex history, with periods of conflict and cooperation. This photograph, taken during a time of relative peace and prosperity, offers a rare glimpse into the past and the enduring connections between these two neighboring nations. Overall, this photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of Vietnam, China, or the broader region. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era and the dynamic relationship between two nations that continue to shape the world today.
