This is a photograph of "a Chinese father with his fortune and heir. After the baby's mother died, the father took him on a long journey to his grandmother in Shantung, stopping off at the Fushun Mission for a helping hand. If the baby was a girl, he would most likely have left her with us." There is also a dog in the photo.
