The Chinese embassy in Washington received a special, retrospective gift on Friday from a retired US Foreign Service officer.
The gift, a set of 24 black-and-white photographs taken in China in the 1930s, was presented to Wu Xi, deputy chief of mission of the Chinese embassy, by Richard Garrison of Arlington, Virginia.
The photos, which cover street life and scenes in major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao, had belonged to Garrison's mother, Stella Garrison, who died more than 10 years ago.
