EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant postcard image captures the daily life of a poor Chinese family living in simple, makeshift dwellings during the 1910s in China. The photograph, taken by a Christian missionary, offers a glimpse into the humble abode of these individuals, revealing their modest living conditions. The family, huddled together in a cramped space, appears to be making the most of their limited resources. The children, dressed in tattered clothing, play and work alongside their parents, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. The small, rudimentary houses, made of bamboo and other natural materials, are a stark contrast to the grandeur and opulence often associated with China's rich history. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the stark realities faced by many families during this period, and offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable historical context for our understanding of China's complex and rich cultural heritage.
