China 1983

[1983]   In the summer I liked to go bicycling through the villages in the countryside around.  This is a local village headman, with his wife and five sturdy daughters.  (The one-child policy had not really kicked in at this point.)  Chinese country people are wonderfully hospitable.

The local scenery, typical of the Manchurian plain.  This is the same headman in the street of his village.
