EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of Chinese farmers from the Ningpo District in China, circa 1905. The image features an elderly farmer, dressed in traditional clothing, holding a rake in one hand and a fan in the other. His weathered face and wrinkled hands bear the marks of a lifetime spent working the land. In the background, a younger farmer, likely his grandson, observes the scene with a thoughtful expression. The United Methodist Free Churches: Home and Foreign Missions produced this card as part of their efforts to spread awareness and support for their missionary work in China. The organization aimed to improve the living conditions and promote education for the people of China, including farmers like those depicted in this photograph. The Ningpo District, located in the Zhejiang Province, was known for its fertile land and thriving agricultural communities. Despite the challenges posed by the rugged terrain and harsh climate, Chinese farmers like these continued to till the soil and provide for their families. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Chinese farmers during a time of great change. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of farmers, both then and now, and the importance of supporting agricultural communities around the world.
