Light and Shadow in Late Qing China: Du Dewei's Image Memory (1876-1895)
About This Novel
"Light and Shadow in Late Qing China: Du Dewei's Image Memory (1876-1895)" is a collection of photographs taken by the author during his tenure in China, recording the scenes in Beijing, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Guangzhou from 1876 to 1895. These more than 230 photos record the characters, scenery, buildings, objects and even the author's family and friends in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and other places. They record the coexistence of backwardness, decadence and change in the author's eyes. They are important real-life materials of the late Qing Dynasty. These photos are not only the face of China at the end of the 19th century, but also a profile of China that has changed little over a longer time span, even in some aspects for thousands of years. Through the probing eyes of Westerners, we see a China that really existed nearly 150 years ago, and we also see where today's China came from.
