Description
-
Close up of action on the eastern shoreline of the Inner River as workers and spectators anticipate the flow of water from the broken dam, which can be seen in the distant center of the scene. In the right foreground, a young woman and boy help balance the raft as a rather stout monk gets on board. His occupation is revealed by his style of robe with billowy sleeves, although he also wears a Western style fedora. Note the woman's natural feet.

This image belongs to a series of images that Don Willmott took while he was teaching English at the Ming Hsien School, which had moved to northwest of Chengdu during WWII. He used 6 of these images in a slide lecture that he presented at a variety of venues in the 2000s.
