The photographs displayed here show Jim and Mary's first residence after they arrived in Chongqing. They lived at Duckling Pond, a small hamlet across the Yangtze River from the city, with their college friends from Toronto, Harold and Donalda Swann. The house was a large, grey brick structure surrounded by a compound wall and featured a fireplace in every room.
These photographs were developed by Mary using supplies she brought from Canada and then compiled into a photo album. She sent the album home to give her family a glimpse into the beginnings of her and James’s life in China.
这些照片展示了文幼章和文月华在抵达中国重庆后居住的第一处住所。他们与来自多伦多的大学朋友 Harold and Donalda Swann 共同生活在鸭子塘——一个位于长江对岸的小村庄。他们的住所是一座大型的灰色砖砌建筑,四周有围墙,每个房间都配有一个壁炉。
这些照片由文月华用从加拿大带来的材料冲洗后,整理成了一本相册。她将这本相册寄回家乡,与家人分享她与文幼章在中国的新生活。
